The Sitters Who Save the Holidays: Meet the Chandler Team Making Your Travel Possible

The holidays are supposed to feel warm, joyful, and full of connection — but for many pet parents, they also come with a familiar dilemma: Who will care for my pets while I’m away? Travel plans, family visits, unexpected last-minute trips… none of it is truly possible unless you trust someone enough to hand over your keys, your home, and the pets who mean everything to you.

At TLC House & Pet Sitting, we know our clients don’t just choose a service.

They choose a person.

Someone responsible, experienced, calm, and kind.

Someone who makes it possible for you to leave home without guilt or worry.

This year, we’re shining a light on two sitters who embody exactly that: Sydney and Angelica, our Chandler-based pet sitters who consistently go above and beyond during the busiest season of the year.

Sydney: A Lifetime of Animal Care, Now Serving Chandler

When Sydney steps into a home, pets can feel the difference immediately. Her background is unlike anyone else’s — years in rescues, shelters, and even serving as an animal control officer. She has hands-on experience with dogs, cats, livestock like horses and goats, and even fowl such as ducks and chickens. Whether she’s caring for a nervous rescue pup or managing medication for an elderly cat, Sydney brings a confidence and steadiness that helps pets settle in right away.

Sydney

Clients in Chandler love her for her calm presence, quick instincts, and intuitive understanding of animal behavior.

Pets love her because she meets them exactly where they are — excited, anxious, slow-moving, clingy, or independent.

During the holiday season, when routines are disrupted and pets feel the change in the household energy, Sydney is the kind of sitter who restores balance. She maintains feeding schedules, keeps walks consistent, provides enrichment on slow days, and sends updates that remind families their pets are safe, seen, and loved.

Angelica: Reliability, Compassion, and Comfort During the Busiest Time of Year

Angelica is the kind of sitter who clients feel grateful to have found — especially during the holidays. She specializes in multi-pet households and in-home routines that require attention to detail. Her communication is consistent, her updates are thoughtful, and her care is grounded in deep patience.

Families traveling from Chandler and Gilbert often tell us the same thing:

Angelica makes their home feel cared for, not just their pets.

While you’re traveling, she ensures:

• Routines remain familiar

• Homes look lived-in and secure

• Pets receive the level of affection they’d normally get (and sometimes a bit extra)

• Older or sensitive pets are handled with care and awareness

Her holiday clients rely on her for exactly that blend of warmth and dependability — and it’s why so many request her again and again.

Why Staying at Home Is the Best Gift You Can Give Your Pets

Holiday travel is unpredictable for humans — and even more so for pets. Changed schedules, suitcases, loud gatherings, and unfamiliar environments can be stressful. One of the most loving choices you can make is allowing your pets to stay in their own home, where everything feels familiar and safe.

With TLC sitters like Sydney and Angelica:

• Pets stay in their normal environment

• Routines continue without interruption

• Stress levels remain low

• Special diets or medications stay on track

• Puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets receive experienced, qualified care

It’s the difference between coping with the holidays… and actually thriving during them.

Serving Chandler: Your Neighborhood Sitters Are Ready for You

Chandler and South Chandler have become one of our fastest-growing service areas — especially during the holidays. Many families here travel to visit relatives, attend year-end events, or enjoy a long-overdue winter getaway. Sydney and Angelica are positioned right in the heart of the area, making them ideal for:

• Chandler

• South Chandler

• Gilbert border neighborhoods

• Communities below the 202

Their schedules tend to fill quickly this time of year, and this blog is our chance to spotlight their incredible work before holiday bookings close out.

A Holiday Note From All of Us at TLC

We’re grateful every day for the trust our clients place in us — but during the holiday season, that gratitude feels even deeper. Knowing that our sitters make it possible for families to travel, rest, celebrate, and reconnect is one of the best parts of the work we do.

This year, we’re especially proud to highlight Sydney and Angelica, whose dedication allows your pets to stay happy at home and your holidays to stay peaceful.

If you’re traveling this season and would like our Chandler team to care for your pets, now is the perfect time to schedule your visits.

We’d love to give you — and your furry family members — the gift of a worry-free holiday.

Happy Holidays from all of us at TLC House & Pet Sitting.
