Safety, trust & environment

I will likely ask a lot of questions the first time I dog/cat sit for you. Knowing your pet's routine and their preference is very important to me to make sure I am prepared to take good care of them in your absence. I appreciate detailed instructions for house sitting, especially to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away. I do not mind if you'd like photo or text updates throughout the time you are away, so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. I feel the same when I am traveling! For walks and such, I will still have a few questions to ensure I know how to best care for your pet while interacting with other animals and people. I am able-bodied and active and love walks at all times a day to get my (and their) steps in!

Information Sierra M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special behaviors or needs. I am happy to help with medications and special dietary requests. Please let me know if your dog is reactive or has any specific fears or triggers - that is very important to me to make sure everyone and pet is safe while we are together!

A typical day

I want to ensure when I petsit that the dog or cat has plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep them engaged throughout the day. I love to take dogs for a walk to get the day started, to spend time with them doing their favorite activities, and to also ensure they're well-fed and rested. Between the afternoons and evenings, I'm happy to take them on secondary walks, rides around town, or give them more backyard time to make sure they've had a full day and plenty of bathroom breaks before dinner and bedtime.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am an artist, athlete, and am generally pretty active around town and in community events. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I grew up in a home with cats and have always been a passionate pet owner. My own cat is 17 and healthy, but I love spending time with dogs too. In my teens, in college, and through adulthood, I've pet-sat for many dogs over the years in order to spend more time with them and learn about their behaviors and needs. I've always wanted my own but have been too mobile to make a full-time commitment. My loss is your gain! I've worked with reactive and non-reactive dogs, small dogs and large dogs, and puppies and elderly dogs. I am very comfortable with animals and, due to my active nature, love taking them on walks around town or at the park. I am happy to also stay home with them if they're in their golden years or are less mobile. I will likely want to know a fair bit about your dog or cat when we first meet to ensure they are well cared for in your absence and to ensure I am prepared and aware of their behaviors if we are around other people and/or other animals. The same rules apply for kitties! I love cat sitting too. All in all, I love animals and genuinely enjoy taking them for walks, spending time with them, and making sure they feel loved. I have some experience working with sheep as well, so if you are on a farm or have other livestock, I'd love to help out in that regard too! I hope to own my own small farm someday. Thanks!

Sierra was fantastic. Was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.

I haven’t met a pet that doesn’t LOVE Sierra! My dog Rosie is reactive and generally takes a few meetings to warm up to people, but she immediately fell in love with Sierra. Our cat instantly warmed to her as well!

Sierra’s love for animals will provide comfort, joy, and the best level of care to your pet. Her accountability and communication skills will assure you your animal is well taken care of in your absence. I’ve witnessed her have even the scarediest of kitties warm up to her, shower sweet old dogs with the love they deserve, and play with animals at their speed. Your pet will have a new best friend by the time your return. I highly recommend Sierra to be your pet’s rover.

Sierra is absolutely amazing with pets! She’s so kind, patient, and attentive, and my dogs instantly loved her. I have two dogs that absolutely adore her and get so excited every time she comes over. She takes extra time for cuddles and walks, and makes sure they’re happy and safe. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust her completely with my fur babies. I can’t recommend her enough!
