Sterling can care for
Availability
Because I work remotely, pet care isn't just a side job—it’s my daily company! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to provide a consistent routine of potty breaks, play, and mid-day snuggles. I’ve recently made my physical health a priority, which means I head out for multiple walks a day. I would love for your pup to be my 'steps-partner!' Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and the security of never being left alone for long periods

Safety, trust & environment
When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I pride myself on being a communicative, organized, and tidy guest. I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. Safety is my top priority; I am diligent about double-checking gates, following specific feeding instructions to a tee, and maintaining any house rules you’ve already established so your pet feels secure and calm while you're away
Information Sterling F. would like to know about your pet
Reactions to other animals: Are they reactive on leashes or curious about cats? Dietary needs: Any allergies or strict 'no human food' rules? Triggers: Do they have a fear of thunder, vacuum cleaners, or specific noises? Medication: Detailed instructions for any supplements or prescriptions.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a brisk morning walk to sniff out the neighborhood news, followed by breakfast and some light playtime. While I work, your pet can snooze by my desk or enjoy belly rubs during my coffee breaks. Our afternoons are reserved for a long adventure walk or head to the dog park for some fetch, ensuring they get plenty of exercise. We’ll wind down the evening with some relaxing pets and quiet time, making sure they feel right at home and completely pampered.

Treating Your Pet Like Family
Pet care experience
My lifelong passion for animals began with a stuffed dog named Cinnamon, but it truly came to life during the 17 wonderful years I spent with my Westie, Kirby. Growing up with Kirby taught me the art of senior dog care, from managing slower paces to noticing the subtle shifts in a senior pet's needs. My experience expanded further when we rescued Dewey, a panther-like gray cat. Managing the unique bond between a senior dog and a spirited rescue cat gave me firsthand expertise in multi-pet household dynamics and reading diverse animal personalities. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a soulful senior, I provide the patient, specialized attention they deserve

Reviews
Sterling is amazing and very caring!
Sterling was exceptional. She took my dog on daily walks and was very communicative. I got photos every day I was out of town. She took the trash out and was just so solid! Would definitely recommend and book again!
Sterling was great. I had a very short notice house sitting request and she was very accommodating (even meeting a day before due to my early departure the next day). Additionally you could tell she cared and she took her time to slowly gain my pups trust throughout the day. I will definitely look to use her again in the future.
Sterling is fantastic! From our meet-and-greet, she was warm, friendly, and immediately put me at ease. The pups took to her right away, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. The photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay were much appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know how the dogs were doing while I was away. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The Happy Meal and I highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll definitely be booking with her again.
