Loving and dependable just like family!

Pet care experience

Surrounded by great local parks and directly across from king park, a great place to play chuck it and meet friendly neighborhood dogs. About this sitter: Providing experienced, professional and loving pet care for animals that shouldn't be home alone all day and night. Through out my entire life I grew up with a variety of breeds as family dogs, cats and other small pets. My current companions are Nora, a rescue husky/ catahoula mix and Munchkin, a rescue tortie cat. My mother bred Shih-tzus when I was younger and I gained a lot of experience from that time, this included administering injected and oral medications. During my time raising dogs I learned agility in 4H and was performing at fairs. Dog sitting and walking for family and friends became my first job at the young age of 12, which expanded even more. When I arrived to Portland, Oregon in 2011 I was eager to continue a career where I could use the love and knowledge I have for animals, immediately I started searching to help others with their pets. That same year I was hired to walk and sit dogs at an apartment complex in southeast Portland. In 2013 I was employed by Alpha Dog Daycare and stayed with them for over two years. Since my business as a dog walker and sitter had been going so well, leaving Alpha dog was in my best interest. When I'm not walking dogs I like to get out of the city and relax. Usually I'm listening to Neil Young and Johnny Cash driving to the Mountain, Gorge, Coast or where ever I can be outside and hike with my dog. My dedication to care for pets has grown extensively and I wouldn't be where I am today without my long-lasting cliental. Dogs have made their way into my everyday life and I couldn't be happier. About my yard The backyard is pretty big. Fenced around, but not totally and not a big deal since King park is right across the street. My experience administering medication Yes. I often administer medication with my regular dogs.

Heather is a perfect fit for my high energy, sensitive pup, Oakley. When Oakley stays with her she actually comes home tired - doesn't happen with anyone else. Oakley gets to join on all of Heather's outings with other dogs and has a lot of off leash time. Back at her home, things seem relaxed and totally dog friendly. Nora, Heather's dog, is also a wonderful host. The two get along great! Heather is very responsive and relaxed, yet attentive with the dogs. Really great experience for both Oakley and I.

One of the worst parts about traveling is that I can't take my dog along. I dread leaving him behind. We were so lucky to find Heather for our most recent holiday trip. She sent us daily updates and pictures and I could tell Mr. Dibbs was having a great time. It was almost as if he was on his own vacation :) We will definitely be contacting her again for any future travel plans.

We were so happy to have our dog stay with Heather. She sent us photo updates nearly every day, and he was always out having a blast in parks or on walks. Plus he loved living with Heather's dog, Nora. Thanks Heather!

Chihuahua to Pit bull to Great Dane, it doesn't matter to me! I love all breeds equally!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live directly across from King Park that is fenced in, lots of running space. Alberta neighborhood is a great quiet area to wander about. I can also always go for a good hike. Good to know if your dog is great off-leash or not. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I encourage owners to bring their dogs favorite blanket/bed. Otherwise they are more than welcome to cuddle on the bed with me. That is up to you if you don't mind them on furniture. Time I'll spend with your dog All my sits are 100% focused on the pup. Time I'll spend with your dog Everyday is dedicated to the dogs I sit. I do not leave them alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We will spend the day doing what your dog loves to do! Extra house-sitting services I'm willing to grab mail and do house care such as watering plants and house cleaning
