Spunky, Gentle Hearted Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have been in love with animals ever since I can remember begging my mom for my first dog as a little kid. I can’t recall a time when a furry friend hasn’t been in my home or part of my life. I started my own “dog-walking” business at 14, posted flyers, and walked dogs for my entire summer break. Since then I have pet sat, house sat, volunteered at local animal shelters, fostered dogs and cats. My longest stint as an animal caregiver was for an elderly beagle, so I am experienced in dosing out medications in food and on coats. I am extremely patient with rambunctious animals, and love to cuddle the calmer ones. I am excited for the opportunity to help love on and care for any animals while their family is out of town. My 4-year-old daughter has an affinity for cats, but she is slowly learning dogs are just as awesome. I’m experienced in crate training, dog walking, general command training, potty training, medication dolement, general snuggling, playing fetch for hours, and loving hard. I have a big backyard, and a bigger heart for animals.
Reviews
I can not say enough good things about Miss Harper. I will certainly try though. I have a four year old lab mix that was abused prior to us rescuing her. While she is awesome around our Pom-poo, she does not like other dogs. I prefaced this situation to Harper prior to her stay, and she assured me that she could handle pets that had special needs. I will just say, she exceeded my expectations. My Molly wasn’t only welcomed in her home, but was quite happy during her stay. Harper made every attempt to assure me that she was ok during her stay with pics and videos. Anyone who has dogs with special needs can surely relate to the anxiety that I had prior to her visit. All of those anxieties were laid to rest by Harper. She loved on Molly like she was her own, and I felt so comfortable while I was on vacation knowing that Harper had it handled. If you have special needs furry loved ones, this is the place to be. I will forever be grateful to Harper for taking such good care of my Molly-girl and will most assuredly be contacting her again when we are in need of a pet sitter!
Harper treated our pups as if they were her own, she made sure she spent some quality time with them each day and snuggled with them so they wouldn’t feel lonely while we were out of town. She made sure they had ample time out of their kennel, and even made us some paw print art for when we got home! We also really appreciated the picture texts of our babies since we really miss them when we are out of town! Harper is a true animal lover, and her caring spirit shows as she goes above and beyond when taking care of our pups!
