Your furbabies are our furbabies!
Pet care experience
We are an animal-loving family that would love to take care of your pet(s) while you are away. We know how hard it is to enjoy yourself when worrying about your furbabies, but we will ease your mind with daily updates and pictures. Our family includes myself (Heather), my partner Crystal, our daughter Addison, our dogs Ziggy and Kaia, our cats Fuzzy and Biggie. Ziggy and Kaia love every dog they meet and do well with dogs of all sizes. Our cats pretty much keep to themselves but are very used to dogs being around. Our daughter is 9 and loves every animal she's ever met. She's very gentle and knows how to respect animals and their needs. Your pet(s) will be treated as one of our own while staying with us. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. When I was born my mother had a 4 year old dog who was my best friend all through childhood until she had to be put down due to cancer when she was 13. We had 3 dogs throughout my childhood into adulthood. I went about 10 years without a dog because my life was too hectic to devote the kind of time and attention that a dog deserves. This is when I developed my love for cats as well, I couldn't NOT have a pet. I've had a pet my whole life so I adopted my two cats who are now 15 years old. Once I got to a place where I could commit the money and time to a dog I adopted Ziggy who was found on the streets emaciated and suffering from mange. A few years later I started fostering for a local rescue and got a litter of puppies to care for, that was Kaia's litter. I knew there was something about her and she fit in with our family seamlessly so we adopted her. Meet my pets The only other pets we have are two 15 year old cats named Fuzzy and Biggie. They are used to dogs since we have two very active pups so they tend to keep to themselves when they don't want to be bothered. About my yard I have a huge backyard that has a 6 foot wood privacy fence around it. Tons of room to run and play while being very safe. My yard is also treated for mosquitos and fleas so no worries on those little buggers bothering the pups either.
Reviews
Another great stay for Lola with Heather! Thanks again!
Heather was amazing! She took such good care of our 3 month old puppy! He had the most amazing time playing with her dogs and was so tired when we got him back. We also received several pictures of our little guy every day showing him playing with the other dogs and having a good time. We definitely plan to use her in the future.
Matouks was very happy. Seems like he had a great time and we got pics everyday he got a chance to socialize with other dogs. He was very tired when he came back which was great cause it's like he grew a little. Heather was great wouldn't hesitate to have her sit him again.
Very accommodating and easy to work with.

Information Heather C. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preference. I feel that breed has nothing to do with the personality of each dog. It's all in how you raise them. I would want to know the obvious things, if the dog was good with other dogs, cats and how they were with children. Also I would want to know the amount of exercise they require daily and what their day usually consists of so I can make sure their daily routine stays as close to what it would be at their own home as possible.
A typical day
Your dog's exercise and entertainment I have a huge fenced in yard and very active playful pups so your fur baby will get lots of exercise. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep in my room either on the floor, on a dog bed or in a kennel... however they are most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog I only work part-time during the week, my shifts are 3 hours long. When I'm not at work I am at home with my pets and yours
