Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a college softball player, I am very accustomed to maintaining a structured schedule, staying organized, and managing my time effectively. This allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for pets while balancing my other responsibilities. I intentionally schedule my availability so I can give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s drop-in visits, dog walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight pet sitting, I make sure every pet receives personalized care based on their needs and routine. As both a pet owner and an active Rover sitter, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Spending time with pets is one of the best parts of my day, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their fur babies are happy and in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting. Because I have two cats of my own at home, I do not offer boarding, but I am committed to providing excellent care in the environment where your pet feels most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I follow any instructions provided to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I also love sending frequent updates, photos, and videos so owners can feel confident that their fur babies are happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care.

Information Sierra S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and individual needs. Knowing their feeding schedule, exercise routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions helps me provide consistent care and keep them comfortable while their owner is away. I also appreciate knowing about their temperament, energy level, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of, such as anxiety, leash reactivity, fear of certain situations, or how they interact with other animals and people. Every pet is unique, and understanding these details allows me to build trust and create a positive experience for them. It’s also important to know about any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or emergency contacts ahead of time. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating each pet as if they were my own. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

The activities I do with pets depend on their personality, energy level, and what they enjoy most. For dogs, I love going on walks, playing fetch, and other interactive games that help keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. For pets with lots of energy, I enjoy spending extra time playing and helping them get the exercise they need. For cats, I enjoy using toys, laser pointers, wand toys, and interactive play to keep them entertained and engaged. I also understand that some cats prefer quiet companionship, so I’m happy to spend time cuddling, relaxing nearby, or simply giving them attention on their terms. No matter the pet, I always make it a priority to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I also love taking photos and videos during our time together, so owners can enjoy updates and see all the fun their fur babies are having!

Pet care experience

Hello, I have experience caring for dogs through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I have also pet sat for a friend for about a month on and off, where I helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure the dogs were comfortable and safe while their owner was away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure animals are well cared for, loved, and safe. I’m very responsible, active, and attentive to pets’ needs. As a college softball player, I’m used to having a structured schedule and staying committed, so I always make sure pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need. Also For the First three 2-3 Clients who book me I’m willing to give $20 off first booking!! ;) https://www.rover.com/sit/sierrs94440

Sierra was awesome with our anxious little girl. She was extremely communicative, fun and kept the house in perfect condition. I could tell our dog was having the best time in all of the photos and videos. Would definitely book her again!

Sierra was so great with my baby! I had a last minute trip and she still accommodated me and took such good care of my cat while I was away so I didn’t have to worry about anything while gone. She was super responsive and professional as well as provided plenty of pictures of her during her check ins. 😊

Sierra was AMAZING! There is always some hesitation when having someone stay in your home and watch your fur babies, but she eased our worries with her great communication skills and kindness. She was so patient with our senior dogs, and she would frequently send us picture updates. :) She also left our home in fantastic condition. I highly recommend Sierra for all of your pet sitting needs! I will be booking again!
