Pet care experience

Pets Come First

I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and birds off and on since I was 14. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to ensure while they are away, their beloved pets are lovingly cared for and kept on their routines. I've watched over animals with disabilities, on medication schedules, have high energy, or need help decompressing. I treat them as my own! I've also learned that couches are just large dog beds.

The dogs had an amazing time at Sterling’s. We think they have a new favorite Auntie! 😊 She took amazing care of them and kept us updated the whole time with lots of photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Communication was super easy and she was always quick to respond. Our dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very loved while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and caring sitter!

Sterling has been incredibly flexible with my ever-changing work travel schedule and I am SO grateful. Nellie loves her sleepover parties with Sterling's dogs!

Nellie had a great extended visit with Sterling! She enjoyed lots of time with the resident dogs and she came home a happy camper. I'm so grateful for Sterling's flexibility and communication!

Nellie had a wonderful time at Sterling's for several days! She got lots of exercise and snuggle time, and Sterling was great with communication.

A typical day

I live in a great, quiet neighborhood that has little used streets perfect for walking. Every dog is on a leash and all yards are fenced. I have a massive backyard as well, perfect for using the chuck-it and getting out the zoomies!

I want to make sure your dog or cat stays on their schedule. Please let me know their feeding times, meal size, any meds, preferred toys, and about their personality in general. For example, my littlest dog likes to burrow in pillow and be in a fort and my pitbull likes to sun himself.
