Pet care experience

I love long walks on the leash.

Hello! My name is Heather and I am available in the Kingsport, TN, area throughout most of the week and during daylight hours. I can provide walks in addition to food, water, and treats. I am also comfortable with basic grooming, minor clean-up (I understand that accidents do happen!), and administering some forms of medication. I have no issues with helping your fur baby learn to walk on a leash, if they are not yet used to walking while tethered to a human. I have had many pets throughout my life including chickens, fish, cats, dogs, and a turtle, but I love all animals! I have prior experience working for a small pet sitting business and I currently share my home with a beagle mix and a two cats. I am insured through Pet Care Insurance. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for considering me!

Heather is excellent! Clear communication, very flexible and even ventured out in the snow to care for our girls. She the best!

Heather continues to be amazing! She watched our girls over the 4th of July weekend (very anxious pup from fireworks) and she did everything she could to make them feel at ease!

Heather is amazing! She is so caring and mindful of our pets and their needs. Our oldest dog (10+ years) had digestive issues during her stay and Heather was communicative through the entire morning and made sure Missy was comfortable before she left. We cannot say enough amazing things about her!

Heather was PHENOMENAL. This was our first time on Rover after a few bad boarding experiences and heather made us feel completely comfortable and confident that our pups were being cared for while we were away for the holidays. She was very responsive, timely with her visits, provided detailed notes and plenty of pictures with each stay! Even with our sweet doodle that can be (was) stubborn to take her morning meds, Heather was persistent and kind trying every way to attempt getting meds down without stressing her out. We are so thankful for Heather & her willingness to take care of our girls especially during the holidays! We came home to two happy and cared for dogs!

I like to know that a dog will not show aggression to children, adults, or other pets. I also like to know whether your dog has any food or environmental allergies, and whether they are up to date on their immunizations.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
