Highlights
Pet care experience
Furbabe Lovin Mama
I have always been an extreme animal lover! I care for pets of all sizes, shapes, and origins - whether it's your kitty, pup, bird or reptile, I love them all! I have 2 kids, who adore animals and have been raised to defend, love, be gentle and respectful, and caring. My husband is the pet whisperer. They all love him, even the ones we hear who "dislike men" wind up loving Mike! We have our own large dogs that we rescued who are super sweet lover girls and enjoy meeting new friends. They're used to having other pups and cats over. We have cats, bearded dragons, and turtles as well....and I'm proud of every single one 🥰 We do have a very large and spoiled sulcata tortoise (95 lbs) and, yes, your kids can come feed him ha. And, no, he does not eat meat - all vegetarian. Your pups are totally safe!

Ratings and reviews
Audrey and Sky love staying with Heather and her family! They always come home happy and sleepy. Heather gives great updates and takes the best care of our senior dog with medical issues and our almost 2 year old very active dog! Heather has cared for our dogs 3x now and we couldn’t be happier!
Heather was wonderful with our pup on her stay. She frequently sent photos and videos, and kept us updated the whole time we were away. Our girl always looked happy, loved, and cared for during the whole stay! Thanks for taking such good care of Rumi for us!
Heather and her family was absolutely wonderful! Pappy had so much fun over there! I don’t know who had more fun us or him on vacation! Heather kept me updated on him daily and sent pictures and videos! He was one happy boy!
Heather was amazing with our pups! This was Dezy’s very first time staying away from home, and Heather made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with them again!
Heather is truly our go-to pet sitter! She took such amazing care of Bodhi and Dezy in her home and treated them like they were her own. It means so much to know they’re safe, happy, and loved while we’re away. We always come home to two relaxed, happy pups, and that’s the best feeling. We’re so grateful for Heather and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Our dogs seemed to have a really good time. They don’t have access to a backyard like that and the socialization was great for Jax. Heather provided us with regular updates and I would feel comfortable using her again

Schedule
I am a stay at home mom. I am available pretty much anytime any day. I'm happy to walk, bathe, play with, feed, and care for all of your pets. I offer daycare and boarding but, during the summer I usually only offer boarding because I fully book up. Daycare can get a little crazy mixed with boarding. If you need daycare though, please reach out anyway. I have it turned off but may be able to accommodate.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a pet home and a HUUUUGE backyard (hardcore fenced, 8-9', Fort Knox-like). Our pets are our family and are allowed on furniture and in the backyard whenever they want. You could say we spoil them but they deserve it. We live across the street from Yorba Regional Park so lots of fun and adventurous walks around us. Daycare (during the school year) - DOGS LOOOVE DAYCARE HERE!!! We have a huge yard for them too burn out in. I flip on the sprinklers for those who love water when it's hot outside and, for those who do not, there are so many comfy places to chill inside and out. I have a pup pool as well. I'm typically outside with the pups watching them. When is too hot or raining, they come inside for the ac or warmth. I can do walks if you'd like and you are welcome to bring meals or snacks. Your pets will be EXHAUSTED when they get home and happily ready for bed. And, yes, I do usually have other pups here for them to play with - always on watch though. I do not allow fights. If someone is getting aggressive, I seperate them and switch out during the day so everyone is happy and gets their play on equally. NOTE - I do try to keep daycare hours from 7a-6p, during the week, but if you need an earlier drop off or later pick up, please reach out and we'll figure that out. ALSO - please do not bathe your pup before daycare!!! They'll get dirty!!! They're pups, we play. They roll around. They explore. They have fun! Bathe them afterwards or I can do this for you before they leave.
Pets
A typical day
I want to make your furbabies stay with my family as comfortable, and least stressful, as possible. We try to give our pups and pup guests enrichment activities, such as the local dog park, walks around Yorba Regional and our local neighborhoods, backyard water sprinklers, fetch games, treat scavenger hunts, rope tugowar, and most love our pup pool when it's hot out. Please let me know your preferences and what your pup(s) would enjoy and dislike. **IMPORTANT!!!! MAKE SURE YOUR PETS HAVE FLEA MEDICINE ON** While our yard is treated for ticks and fleas, that does not mean they aren't there. I cannot control where fleas are and if they get onto your pets. I need all owners to make sure your pets are flea/tick treated prior to arrival. I wish I could control bugs, but that's on nature, not me unfortunately. We play outside a lot and we go on lots of walks. They are all over! Hot Days: We do keep our backyard open for potty breaks and exploration, freely. However, when it's too hot outside, I keep all pets inside in the a/c - out only for potty breaks. I am very cognizant of hot pavement and their lil paws. We have a grassy backyard which is easier on them vs. walking them around the neighborhood and burning their paws. When it cools down in the evening, I'm happy to walk them then for their safety. We also take them, on their last day of boarding, for a pupcup treat field trip which they all love and, on repeat visits, await longingly. I'm happy to have you over for a meet n greet if you'd like. I don't require them. My family is ready for all dogs, of all kinds, and we are used to different personalities. It is rare that we don't have a guest staying with us. So our dogs are also used to this schedule and are great with others. A meet n greet is more for you as the owner. I'm fine with whatever you're comfortable with. Daycare - Typically, we're outside most of the morning burning that energy, playing and exploring or walking around the neighborhood. Sometimes we'll have water play or treat scavenger hunts, etc. When it starts to heat up, I bring them inside for a snack and a cool nap. You are welcome to provide your own snacks. I have biscuits that the pups seem to really enjoy. Towards 330-4p, I bring them back outside to burn off that after sleep energy and then get them ready for pick up. For daycare, I do usually have more than one family here, as the pups come to play and have fun with friends, no more than 3 families. All pups are checked for rabies and temperament. I don't usually do meet n greets for daycare, as owners are welcome to do so on the day of drop off. However, if you want to, I'm open just reach out.
