“Heather does a great job, always reliable and my pups are happy and healthy when I get home. Takes great pics too :)”


About: For as long as I can remember , i’ve always had a pup/doggy growing up! There’s never a day that I was not around a dog! I’ve had a Golden Retriever , Pugs , Pit Bulls , Poodle , & others. What sets me apart from other sitters is that i’m very aware at all times & I make sure I tend to what they’re wanting no matter what it is . I’m a very communicative woman . I know they do understand what i'm saying . I do have experience in training !! I am available anytime , any day of the week ! I do not have anything that separates me from being able to care for your pup ! I take them out to potty every other hour or so , even if they don't have to use the restroom , it’ll be good for them to talk a walk . stretch their legs . get some fresh air . they will be fed according to their parents needs/wants! I can & will bathe them if needed !!

About: I have had numerous pets throughout the years including dogs, cats, birds and exotic animals. I also have been a professional sitter for over three years. I have traveled to Virginia, Texas and Rhode Island to care for pets while their owners were on vacation. I can travel in the 100 mile radius for overnight sits only. I specialize in senior pets and those with special needs. I am retired and can dedicate my time to your needs. I can stay in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I put your pet's needs first. I work closely with my clients to ensure that their needs are met. This includes any special accommodations. I keep in close contact with my clients and update them on a regular basis. I love to send photos and videos of their pets enjoying their time with me!
