Highlights
Pet care experience
Sit. Stay. Feel Right at Home. 🐾
Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I loved my own dog for 15 and a half wonderful years, caring for him through every stage of life until we had to say goodbye last summer. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for just how much love and attention dogs deserve at every age. Since then, I've channeled that love into caring for the dogs of friends and family, and I'm now so excited to open my door to more pups who need a warm, attentive caretaker. I'm comfortable with caring for guests from puppies to seniors, and I'm used to managing multiple dogs at once while making sure each one feels seen and loved. I care for every guest like they're part of my own family. Whether that means adventure, enrichment, or simply curling up next to me while I work, I try to tailor each stay to what makes that individual dog happiest. Your pup will be in loving hands, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. 🐶
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Heather was great! Pepper was so happy to get dropped off there and even ate her food, which she never does when we leave her. Heather sent morning and evening updates which we appreciated. Will definitely plan to book again!!
Heather is the consummate sitter. She and Ian are absolutely the most friendly and caring people you could possibly meet, and they are so wonderful with our dog Zuzu. You will get photos and updates every morning and evening and feel completely confident that your pet is at his or her home away from home. What they provide is the happy summer camp experience. Zuzu will be a regular!
Heather was very communicative and took great care of our dog, Penny! She sent regular updates and photos and made sure Penny had fun and was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely book with Heather again!
Heather is so wonderful. So caring, thoughtful, and supportive. And, my dog, Daisy just loves her
Heather is outstanding as always. My dog is so attached to me and hates to be left with others, but when I picked her up this time, she clearly could not decide if she wanted to go with me or stay with Heather! Four paws up from Moon!
Heather was so great - accommodating, friendly, and communicative! Honey had a blast in her huge fenced in yard and we loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. Would definitely recommend Heather!

Schedule
I work from home and would love to have some furry coworkers around. Whoever's with me gets to hang out all day while I'm at my desk, with plenty of breaks for outdoor time and cuddles in between. ⏰ I do ask that you treat drop-off and pick-up times as scheduled appointments. I'm happy to be flexible when I can, but I do plan my day around arrivals and departures, so I appreciate being on time or getting as much notice as possible if plans change.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is relaxed, dog-friendly, and ready for guests! I have a spacious fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of indoor space to lounge around in. If your pup ever needs a quiet moment to decompress, I have a separate space for that too. I intentionally keep my guest list small so every dog gets plenty of individual attention. I also know how to read the room to make sure everyone feels comfortable and no one's overwhelmed. Your pup's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🌙 For stays longer than five nights, I do require a one-night trial stay beforehand. It gives your pup a chance to get comfortable in my home and helps ensure we're a great fit before a longer vacation.
A typical day
Weekdays usually look like morning walks around the neighborhood, plenty of yard time, and indoor games if the weather isn't cooperating. I like to keep things engaging. A tired pup is a happy pup! On weekends, we have a little more room to adventure. If your dog enjoys car rides and is comfortable visiting new places, I love taking my guests on hikes, longer walks into town, or even to the farmers market—one of my favorite weekend activities. 🧺👩🏻🌾🍓💐

- Every pup is different, and the more I know going in, the better I can take care of yours. Before your pup arrives, I'd love to know about any medical conditions or medications, food allergies or dietary restrictions, anything that might stress them out (loud noises, other dogs, car rides, being left alone, etc.), their typical energy level and exercise routine, whether they're comfortable riding in the car and joining me on outings beyond neighborhood walks, and how they do when left alone for short periods, including whether they tend to bark or become anxious. Since I live in a multi-family home, this is especially helpful to know. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
