Pet care experience

Vet Ast. & Animal Sci. Teacher

With nine years of PROFESSIONAL hands-on experience, not just ownership; in pets of all kinds, I bring a deep passion and expertise to caring for your furry family members. EXPERIENCE: In 2019, I earned my Veterinary Assistant License, which expanded my knowledge in animal care and medical support. Over the course of four years, I worked in both boarding and veterinary services, gaining invaluable experience in managing a variety of pets and understanding their unique needs. Additionally, I spent two years assisting in dog training, helping pets develop positive behaviors and strengthening their bond with their owners. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching high school Animal Science for 3 years, where I shared my knowledge and love for animals with students. My diverse background allows me to provide top-notch care, from day-to-day sitting to specialized medical and behavioral support, ensuring your pets are always in trusted hands. After moving to Amarillo in 2025 I began working with horses part time and I NOW PET SIT PART TIME. BOARDING: Included in the boarding fun- a BIG FENCED backyard!!! 30+ Toys for pups to choose from. Ease for parents who choose the pickup and drop off add on. Light packing for some; as I have many sanitized kennels, dog beds, and bowls available for no charge. I also pride myself on using the safest vet approved sanitation after each guest and yard treatment bi-monthly.

We have a dog with lots of anxiety and Heather was patient with our dog until she was comfortable. We’ll definitely use Heather again

House Sitting • Aug 04, 2025

We visited Amarillo for the play in Palo Duro and were staying at a hotel so needed to find someone comfortable with that (note to Rover... make that a search option). We contacted Heather and worked out all the details. She was very flexible and stayed in contact as we worked out the details. Ronnie took an instant liking to her and we were very comfortable with her past experience as a vet tech and with dogs in general. She sent us a couple of pictures of him chilling during the stay. She was a great resource for us and all went well. Ronnie gives her a solid bark and two paws up!!!! ... as do we!

Heather was great! She came with to our hotel and sat with our dogs so we could have a great day out. She kept our dogs nice and calm. Would absolutely recommend her.

Heather previously house sat our cattle dogs Willie and Waylon and fed our farm animals often before her move to Amarillo. She worked locally at the vet clinic and offered her sitting services to many families in town. She is a reputable sitter and will be missed.

Schedule

ROUTINES: Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Overall, pet care is woven into my routine, and I stay flexible to meet the needs of each pet I look after. My goal is to make sure your pets have a reliable, consistent caregiver who adapts their schedule to fit what’s best for your furry family member.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Heather can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
FYI: It’s important to your pet that no matter the service it’s comfortable for them. This means while the location may change or the person, I can at least provide the same attention to detail. This ensures less anxiety from pets. Please if there is any special needs, medications, or even just quirks feel free to let me know.
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.
