Loving care for your fur baby!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs, cats, exotics and everything in between of all ages. I have not only had pets my whole life I was a veterinary technician for 11 years during which time I learned how to care for animals on a medical level. I have had lots of experience walking dogs, house sitting and caring for animals for all kinds with different needs. If your pet needs a walk or love or medications I can provide that for you and your amazing fur baby or babies! I am currently not working and all of my kids are now in school so I have daily free time to care for your pet while you are away! I have 2 rescued pit bull mixes that are like my kids. We have a fenced yard they can go out anytime they want to bathe in the sun.

Heather was so great with our senior dog. She stayed at our house and it was so nice to know our dog was cared for while we were gone. Our dog is not easy, she has mobility and potty issues and Heather handled her so well. She was very communicative while we were away, sent us daily updates and pictures.

Heather watched our dog for a long weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. You can tell she truly cares for your pets. She sent updates and pictures frequently and was wonderful at communicating. We will for sure be having her watch our dog again.

Heather was wonderful and made my first experience with Rover an absolute breeze. She communicated well, was extremely kind and took great care of my boy Hank. 10/10 would recommend!

Heather did a wonderful job in a crazy situation. I had to move and then travel two days later and Heather comforted my anxious pup, dealt with timing difficulties, and stayed in my half-unpacked house. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough.

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.
