Dog Sitting Highspire

“FIVE STARS! My SO and I needed someone to pop in and check on our cats Binx and Cameron. They have a habit of eating each other's food (mostly Cam) and we wanted to make sure no one was going hungry. While originally we had only planned for Julia to stop once, in a rush while we were leaving we were worried one of the kitties got shut in a room so asked if she could stop by the day after we left. She was able to accommodate our request and make sure the boys were good. It's awesome to know your fur babies are in good hands when out of town! Thanks Julia! Recommended!”

“Morgan was fantastic while watching our 2 pugs. She Kept me updated with information as well as multiple pictures while we were away. Highly recommend you book her if considering a sitter.”

“Sitter kept in touch with us while we were out of town. I feel due to my long work hours and the Reno at our home, I could have provided more concise info. Caroline can be quite a challenge and it seems sitter did well. I feel the cost of ?70 + was high and actually the highest we have ever paid. (1/2 hr for 2 dogs).”

I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all temperments, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, as well as small animals including rodents, birds, and reptiles.

I know how upsetting it can be when you're missing your pets, and my goal ultimately to reduce the stress and uncertainty of both you and your pet while you're apart.

I have a fenced in yard with lots of places to walk and parks nearby. We have a friendly Australian Shephard to keep your pets company, as well as plenty of activities and toys for enrichment. I strive to keep your pet on the same routine they have at home and add plenty of activity to reduce the distress they feel in your absence. We do have a cat who is more reserved and tends to stay in his room, as well as three kiddos, all around age 10 with unlimited energy and love for your animals. As far as transportation, I have an SUV with a doggy hammock and seatbelt for safe transport, as well as many different size pet carriers.

“Kari was an absolute rockstar Petsitter. Our kitty has diabetes, so he needs his insulin shot daily within a specific time period. Kari was on time every day and sent photos throughout our whole 2 week trip. Not only did she take great care of our cat, but she made she to take the trash out and keep everything straightened so the house didn’t smell like we’d been gone for a while. We will absolutely request her for future trips!”

About: Hi! I’m Kyle — a reliable, active, and detail-oriented pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals and years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I would want for my own. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks, outdoor time, structured routines, and giving dogs the engagement they need to stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves high-energy adventures, slow sniff walks, playtime, or simply companionship and consistency, I adapt to their individual needs. My background in coaching and leadership has made me extremely dependable, communicative, and organized. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and having a great time. I’m especially good with: * High-energy dogs that need exercise and structure * Nervous or shy dogs that need patience and calm handling * Puppies working on routines and consistency * Senior dogs needing extra care and attention * Large breeds and strong pullers Safety and trust are my top priorities. I pay close attention to leash safety, surroundings, hydration, body language, and overall comfort during every walk or stay. I also understand how important communication is when trusting someone with your pet, so I pride myself on being responsive, punctual, and transparent. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, overnight sitting, vacation coverage, or last-minute help, I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make your life easier. I currently work from home, so I'm flexible at multiple points in the day. I will be able to provide high quality service up to 4:00 pm every day. In the evenings I do have commitments to my soccer teams that I coach. However I can also stop by after 8 pm if needed for late night walks. I will come to your place and walk or if needed a short car ride to an appropriate area to walk your dog for as long as needed. Hikes, or long walks can also be included.

“Mya was awesome. She genuinely cared about our senior dog and put care and love into each visit. She communicated well. I would highly recommend”

Kelli S.

About: I have spent over four years working hands on in a busy rescue shelter, providing daily husbandry, medical care, behavioral support, and safe handling for animal friends of every temperament and condition. I supported new arrivals who came in confident and social, shy friends who shut down from stress, and pets who needed calm guidance before they felt safe. Working with furry friends who were excited, anxious, grieving, fearful, or adjusting to major life changes taught me how to respond with patience, steady communication, and professional skill. My background includes senior care, medical needs support, and specialized routines for friends who rely on consistency. I have managed medication schedules, wound care, mobility challenges, special diets, and emotional needs with confidence. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical procedures, behavior observation, and safe handling for friends in all conditions. I am trained in SAFER assessment handling and comfortable supporting pets who benefit from structure, reassurance, and predictable routines. I am equally confident with playful energetic friends who enjoy activity and quiet friends who prefer soft company and peaceful days. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. In addition to hands on care, I also worked in customer experience at the shelter, helping match our furry friends with the right adopters. I learned how important it is to understand each friend’s personality, needs, and comfort level so I could communicate clearly and honestly with potential adopters. I spent time getting to know our friends, explaining their needs, and helping families understand what would make the best fit. Guiding adopters through those decisions taught me how to advocate for each friend with clarity, kindness, and confidence. Every furry friend is welcomed with respect, understanding, and genuine care. Whether a pet arrives full of energy, feeling uncertain, or simply looking for a reliable presence, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their age, personality, medical needs, and emotional state. I recently made the difficult but exciting decision to pause my career and stay home with my little one. During this chapter of life, I am also pursuing my education to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, allowing me to combine my love for animals with continued learning and professional growth. As a result, my schedule remains flexible and open, giving me the opportunity to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. If you have specific scheduling requests, I am always happy to discuss options and find a solution that works well for both of us! I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own, taking the time to learn their routines, preferences, and unique personalities.I'm a big believer in clear communication and appreciate detailed instructions. The more I know, the better I can provide consistent care and make sure everything is done exactly the way you would do it yourself. I am always happy to double check details, ask thoughtful questions, and go the extra mile to prevent misunderstandings.During each visit, I will care for your home with the same respect and consideration I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. You'll receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, enrichment, exercise, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I'm committed to providing care that is tailored to their needs.

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up and I take the best care of my pup possible, he’s my little baby. Happy dog, happy life! As of right now my schedule is a bit busy with working full time, a 2 1/2 year old, a 2 1/2 month old and full time online college. With that in mind, I’m hoping to find something to occupy what spare time I can use. I love to take my dog to the park and could take him along with( he’s neutered and great with all dogs)! My dog is fully crate trained as well if he needs to be crated!

“Aurora was amazing!!! We used her twice for drop ins while we were visiting the area. We all absolutely loved her (us and the pups). She came and met the pups a day before we needed her. All fear was gone, because they immediately took to her. She was very professional and always sent us pics. She was even very understanding about the campsites weird rules about visitors. If we come back again we will definitely try to get Aurora again”
