About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.
“Sierra, her family, and her dogs were very inviting for our dog. She was an excellent communicator, gave regular updates, and sent us many sweet photos of our dog. It felt like our dog was just part of the their family. We would gladly have our dog stay with them anytime we are traveling. We would highly recommend her to any friends who need dog sitting.”
