About: Hello there! My name is Alistair, and I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by dogs throughout my entire life. Growing up, I had the incredible bond with my childhood dog, Maxamus the Cockerspaniel. Together, we embarked on an exciting journey from South Africa to the United States at the beginning of last year. Sadly, Maxamus recently passed away at 16, leaving a void in my heart. However, this experience has motivated me to share the love and care I have for dogs with other furry companions. Being a devoted dog sitter, you can trust me to provide exceptional care for your pup. I have a wealth of experience in handling various situations, including medication administration, managing separation anxiety, and providing specialized care for dogs with joint issues or arthritis. It's my utmost priority to ensure that every dog I care for receives the attention, affection, and support they need. One thing that sets me apart is my genuine passion for snuggling up and going on thrilling adventures with dogs. I believe in creating a deep connection with each dog, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring my care to suit their individual personalities. By entrusting your furry friend to me, you can rest assured knowing that they will receive the utmost love, compassion, and companionship they deserve. I can't wait to embark on this exciting journey of caring for your dog and creating unforgettable memories together! I currently own a small business in South Africa that I am able to run remotely from home here in Denver. I am fortunate enough to have plenty of time to spend with doggos! I have a comfortable apartment that is no stranger to doggos. I am used to taking my dog out 3/4 times a day depending, but can accommodate more potty and walk breaks if needed. Doggos are allowed on the furniture ❤️

“Sierra took our dogs on a mountain hike while we explored Telluride for the afternoon. Her lovely, sweet dog Aspen kept our dogs company on the hike. She sent us lot of pictures and even took them wading in a cool stream. What more could our city dogs ask for? Sierra is soft spoken and kind and our dogs loved her right away. I would highly recommend Sierra to anyone in the area.”
