Pet care experience
Hey there, I’m Sierra and I thank you for looking at my profile today! I have taken care of multiple pets since I was a child and now independently care for my own dog (raised by myself since she was 8 weeks old), kitten, senior cat, rabbit, and fish. I previously worked as a professional pet sitter and dog walker for a Twin Cities-based private pet care company in 2020, so I have experience regularly writing updates (along with photos, I've gotten pretty good at those!) for my clients. I began caring for dogs and cats in my neighborhood 10 years ago, doing drop-in visits and walks, along with having a dog all my life, so my experience is abundant. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications for both dogs and cats; my dog currently takes two oral medications daily as well as a weekly injectable medication. I have had a similar experience with cats. I have knowledge from owning my own dog in regards to assisting with crate training/potty training, leash and walking skills, basic tricks, and more. I am more than happy to follow any requests you have to help maintain the training your pet currently receives! I believe having a happy pet is one of the greatest joys in life and I'd love to be a source of support for you and your best friend!
Reviews
Absolutely fantastic as always. Our vacations are made better by knowing Sierra is checking in and hanging out with our favorite cat :)
Sierra was very responsive and diligent. Odie and Mufasa enjoyed her visit. Thanks
Sierra T. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Sierra does a very thorough and top-notch job taking care of my two cats. She sends me sweet reports and makes me feel very reassured. I’ve had her take care of my cats twice now and I will definitely hire her again!
About Sierra T.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow both your preferences and your pets preferences while caring for them in your home. In my own house, I make sure to give each of my pets their own individual safe spaces and am happy to do the same for your pets.
Information Sierra T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how your pet reacts to a stressful situation to best understand their personality and always know what to do first to keep your pet safe and happy. My dog has anxiety, so I know firsthand how to help anxious pups!
A typical day
My house is a 2 minute drive from Lebanon Hills Regional Park and less than 10 minutes from the Eagan dog park; I have multiple dog seatbelts in my car for all transport. I have many Kong toys and lick mats that I can stuff with wet dog food or peanut butter and freeze to keep your dog entertained for a while (repeated licking also helps calm anxious dogs)! My dog is majorly spoiled and has just about every dog toy that exists, so your dog is bound to find a favorite to play with. I have multiple dog and cat beds (or you can bring your own) and allow pets on all furniture if allowed by you. I have baby gates with pet doors that lock, so if your dog needs some space to relax on their own, I can provide them with a comfortable, private haven if desired.

Availability
I have a written routine for all of my own pets at home that I've blended in with my own daily routine. I've been caring for pets for 17 years, so it's easy for me to prioritize their care and it comes quite naturally to me; your pet's care will receive that same level of priority!
