Dog Mom with Foster Experience
Pet care experience
I have had dogs my entire childhood and young adult life. I’ve fostered dogs for almost two years. Through fostering I have been able to help 8 dogs get out of the shelter and find their forever homes. I just recently foster failed (adopted) my most recent foster who was a nervous barker before we started training. I love meeting each dog and getting to know their unique personality. I have experience training and managing dog behaviors/ interactions. I understand the nuance of dog body language and make every effort to make sure that all dogs in my care feel safe and secure. I have three dogs of my own (28lbs, 40lbs, and 45lbs) All are well socialized and welcoming to guests.
Reviews
Another great experience with Harriet taking care of our foster dog. She is so great with him and we feel confident in her handling anything that might come up.
Harriet was great for our cats yet again. We will definitely rebook next time we need a sitter for them 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Harriet is wonderful with my fearful rescue pup, Lola. She is gentle, kind, and patient with her. I have loved watching Lola bond with another person!
Harriet was amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets in her care. My dog adored her and was so happy to spend time with her and my cat warmed up to her quickly. She was super communicative. Took excellent care of both pets with both walks, feeding them and giving them attention. I highly recommend her with out any reservation. Your pets will be very well cared for by her.

Information Harriet D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any leash/harness preferences. Any allergies, any route preferences for walks. Let me know if I should take my shoes off when entering the house- which I will happily do :) Let me know if your dog is reactive on leash or has certain skills they are working on.
A typical day
We will go for plenty of walks, exploring the neighborhood, or even an off leash hike if that’s something your dog is used to. I can work on leash manners with your dog. Teach them new skills like “crate/go to bed”, down, sit, and wait. We can play tug, fetch, or just simply cuddly in bed
