Pet care experience
I've grown up around animals my whole life. The only time I didn't have a dog in my personal life, was when I was living away from home, and in college. All animals, but especially dogs, are family to me. I will care for all and any dogs as if they were my own. I've worked with, but not on a professional level, with a dog that was prone to seizures, I've house sat for dogs with anxiety disorders, or that have come from abusive homes. I find that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, and it fills my soul. We are a 2 dog family, and I've had my chihuahua-terrier for 8 years, and just adopted a 10 year old terrier named, Alfie. My heart loves all animals, even the ones that kind of give me the creeps. My mom calls me the dog whisperer. I want to reach out and support others who love their dogs as much as I love mine, and fill my dog loving heart.

Heather was awesome!!! On short notice we needed a fill in dog walker while my mom was on a trip. Heather was flexible with great follow up. She sent reports including pictures of Baxter, our 70 pound mutt enjoying his walk in the neighborhood with her. I highly recommend her and we will be contacting her for future needs.
Awesome sitter! Sent pictures and updates daily!
Heather was raised to love all animals and critters. She grew up around dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. Plus numerous wild creatures that we have helped along the way....watch her video of try to help a snapping turtle cross the road. She has a super special place in her heart for dogs. When she was still in college and got her apartment she wanted to get a dog (Levi). She loves dogs and cats. She has a soft spot in her heart for all animals and would be an awesome employee....friend to Rover.com Marie
Heather is a fantastic dog caregiver! As the owner of two very different (and slightly odd) dogs, I can 100% vouch for Heather's ability to gain a dog's trust and love. Every time that she has taken care of my dogs she's provided me with updates on how they're doing and let me know if she's noticed any concerns/oddities (like the time one dog managed to trap herself in the tub, behind the curtain, and with the bathroom door closed...). Words cannot adequately describe how amazing Heather is with both my rambunctious and playful dog, as well as my timid and borderline scaredy-cat dog. I strongly recommend Heather for all your dog caregiving needs!

Skills
Information Heather C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how a dog responds to others when walking, or around other dogs. How well disciplined they are when we are together. Are they a flight risk? Are they protective? Prone to excessive barking or possibly nipping (I don't care just want to know). Do they like to be loved on? Especially dogs with anxiety disorders, or are skittish.
A typical day
If the dog loves to play fetch, or chase things, we can do that. If the dogs just loves to walk and explore the surrounding area, we will do that
