Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong animal lover!
Hi! My name is Harper, I'm 19 years old, and I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life! Shelby was my childhood dog, a sweet old super mutt who I fed every morning as a 5 year old. My second dog was Noodles, the crankiest little rescue poodle mix I've ever seen, who passed in early 2025. Even though I've only had two dogs of my own, I have always been surrounded by families with pets, allowing me to grow up getting doggy kisses from all around my friend and family circle. I started pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to hold a leash without being dragged by the dog. Since the age of 12 I have sat for golden retrievers, pitties, german shepherds, doodles, dachshunds, and more (including cats!). There is no breed that I do not love with my whole heart; I'll take any in! I have considerable experience with uncooperative dogs both on and off leash, so whether you have an untrained puppy or a stubborn senior, I promise that I have way more patience with them than they have with me! Additionally, while I am not a licensed trainer, I do have some experience with training simple commands (sit, stay, heel, etc). I am also available for senior dogs, as I was a primary caretaker for Noodles in his old age (13-16 yrs), during which he dealt with hearing loss, joint pain, and medication prescriptions (which I would give him).

Ratings and reviews
Harper was wonderful with Ember! Ember had a great time during her long stay, and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated all the regular updates and photos. We would absolutely recommend Harper and would be happy to have her watch Ember again!
Harper took wonderful care of our sweet girl, Kitty! We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Harper was very sweet and took great care of Mia.
I knew Sola would be in excellent hands as soon as I found Harper’s profile and met her during our meet-and-greet. Unfortunately, Harper became ill during her stay, but Harper and her family were incredibly kind, understanding, and attentive in caring for her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup. We truly appreciate everything you did for her!
An absolute lifesaver and the most dedicated sitter you could ever find! I cannot thank Harper enough for the incredible love and care they showed my cat, Snowy, during a very difficult medical situation. When I needed someone the most, Harper completely stepped up. They didn't just do the basic check-ins; they actually took Snowy to her follow-up vet appointments and stayed with her at the ER for long hours, making sure she was safe and never alone. Snowy required a strict medication schedule, and Harper was so patient, meticulous, and dedicated to making sure she got her medicine on time every single day. Their daily updates gave me immense peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Finding a sitter who genuinely treats your pet like family is rare, but Harper went above and beyond in every possible way. I am forever grateful and highly, highly recommend !
Harper goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of animals! She treats them like her own :) so grateful she was about to take care of my puppy

Schedule
I am currently a university student, home for summer break for the month of June. I love walking, running, and hiking, especially with a friend! Transportation is not an issue as I have my own car. My schedule is wide open since I'm home from school, and I will do my very best to keep clients updated on any changes to my schedule.
