Meet Sydney
I’m a lifelong dog lover and Alexandria local. I’ve worked as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia, where I kept up to 30 dogs safe and happy at once, from tiny puppies to giant breeds, and I’ve fostered puppies and dogs with rescues since 2020. Two of those fosters never left. They’re now mine.
Every dog gets treated like my own: calm handling, clear communication with you, and a clean, safe routine.
