Hello! My name is Sierra, I work at Banfield Veterinary Hospital, and I am a West CO Springs based pet service provider. I am reliable, highly experienced, and dedicated to my work. I have been providing these services for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs for the past 6 years on Rover, have worked with animals for over 15, and currently work full time in a Pet Hospital. I've gathered plenty of experience in administering medication, taking precautions for anxious and elderly pets, and communicating clearly through any and all circumstances. I have graduated as pre-veterinary student at Colorado College, supporting my education and family with the work I'm the most passionate about- Animals! Currently I am putting my passion and expirience to work as I care for, examine, and treat pets of all sizes and backgrounds. All these experiences make me a dependable and knowledgeable sitter for all your fur babies and their needs 😊 I do work full time, however it is only 3-4 days a week. My home is spacious, always supervised, and close to many walking paths and dog parks. I'm very willing to work with you and make sure all your needs, alongside your pets', are taken care of any time-- day or night! 😊 A more detailed list of my experience includes: -Small (4lbs) and Large dog breeds (120+ lbs) -High maintenance care for elderly cats and dogs including fostering animals, giving end of life care, and administering oral and injectable medications -Taking precautions and monitoring animals struggling with allergies, cancer, and chronic illness -Highly experienced in animals with anxiety due to past families or trauma -Early puppy training and sitting (polite play, positive reinforcement, early commands, and potty training) -Over 4,000 hours of animal care and research experience alongside shadowing at multiple veterinary clinics and currently working at a Veterinary Hospital -Keeping active pups happy, walking up to 10 miles a day or daily runs -Fostered 3 rescue dogs with behavioral needs that I helped care for long term. One of which was a mixed Boxer puppy and the other was a 4 y/o Boston Terrier. As both grew, I worked with them as they learned to cope with anxieties and adjust to family life. - I also fostered a 16 y/o Siberian Huskey for 2 years, giving him medications, vitamins, helping him move around and exercise, and doing everything to help make him more comfortable. -As a Bonner Fellow at Colorado College I actively engage in the Colorado Springs community, wildlife, and animal care clinics and humane societies. -I'm well versed in clear communication, paying attention to detail, maintaing calm and clear communications in tough situations, and providing the best care possible! 😊 I have a wide range of experience in this field, but am happy to tailor my rates to fit the specific needs of your fluffy family members- if they're easily satisfied or need full time TLC! I'm also more than happy to adjust rates for pups with a flexible schedule.
