Hello, my name is Sierra. I am a recent college graduate that loves animals. I currently work for a humane shelter which keeps me learning about dog and cat care/handling everyday! In this position I train dogs, learn dog and cat behavior, give medications and know how to understand dog and cat behavior better. In this position I am able to give behavioral counseling and information on enrichment. I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat back home. I have grown up on a farm taking care of chickens, ducks, rabbits, cows, horses, etc as well as fostering kittens and puppies. I also am into gardening and will take care of your plants! I play rugby and lift weights so I can handle the biggest of dogs, I also have a large vehicle to take large dogs to their favorite spots in town! I have pet-sat and provided walks for numerous dogs of all shapes and sizes. I also am skilled in giving pets medication and supervision so your fuzzy friends are always in great care. I also know what the best “dog-tv” shows are if you need any recommendations. I can provide long walks as well as short runs (I try to run a mile everyday!) and lots of time playing fetch. Excited to meet you and your fuzzy friend! Some general notes: -For dog walking, I will spend 100% of the time with your dogs/dog even if they don't want to use their whole time walking! (The summer heat can get to them) and will gladly take them for a short walk or run and spend the rest of the time giving belly rubs and pets! -For dog walking, I will go over where you normally walk your dog and ask how they are around other dogs/people/etc and if they get anxiety -For dog walking, I will also feel concrete with the back of my hand for 7 seconds to make sure their paws are safe as well as watching the temp outside -For house sitting, I will spend the majority of my time watching your pets, I only leave if I need to run home for a bit, grab food, or if I have an emergency (which I will communicate the emergency with you and will make sure I am back in a timely manner) When I am gone I try to be back in 4 hours at the most! -IMPORTANT: I work from 8-11 and 12-5, if your pets can be left alone at these times please reach out so we can schedule a meet and greet! -For pet sitting/house sitting I will try to set a meet and greet before you leave so you can meet me and show me your pets! I know finding pet sitters online can be scary but I will try my best to make it as relaxed as possible. At the meet and greet I will go over expectations and what you want me to do while at your home (watering plants, checking mail, pets schedules, etc) I also will ask if you can write a list of important information down for the stay ( I want to be sure I can refer to something in case I forget!) I take full pride and full responsibility that your pets are in my care and will make sure everything will go smoothly. You will be updated with pictures and a detailed note after every stay, walk or drop in. Your pets are your family and I will make sure I take care of them as my family. A little about me: I have grown up in Mesa, CO but attend and work part-time at CMU! I am on the women’s rugby team, the scuba/freediving team, and the spearfishing team. I love the outdoors. I am an Acting/directing and business management major. I will be in Junction most of the summer. As a kid, I wanted to become a veterinarian but found comfort in pet sitting! I am a college student currently working only a few hours a week. IMPORTANT INFO: Due to class, I will not be available MWF from 10:30-12:30 and TR 12-3:30 and 5 pm-7:45 I can handle big and small dogs very well. It takes a lot for me to get pulled and understand that little dogs sometimes need carried on walks! My dogs sometimes get anxiety so I know how to help them calm down as well as reading their personality.
