Safety, trust & environment

My pets are my family and I make sure to treat your pets the same way! Each pet is an individual and deserves the utmost care and respect.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to provide doggy daycare or extended stays! I just ask that your pup does well with other dogs and with cats, since I have a dog and cat at home.

A typical day

I'm happy to provide any individualized care that your pet may need! If your pet is on the shy side, I will be happy to give them space and make sure they feel comfortable. If they like extra playtime or exercise, I'm more than happy to accommodate.

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Heather! I'm a lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or any other care your pet may need, anytime! With experience in administering medications and a background working with animal shelters, I’m equipped to handle a wide range of pet care needs. I especially have a soft spot for shy pets, and I always ensure your pet receives the individualized care and attention they deserve.

Heather was fantastic with Clifford! She went above and beyond by taking the time to get to know him and earn his trust before jumping right into things. Clifford can be a bit shy with new people, so her patience and kindness meant a lot to us. She was communicative, dependable, and clearly has a great way with dogs. I highly recommend her to other pet parents! 🐾

Heather did a great job taking care of my elderly cat while I was out of town and my family needed help with pilling her! We'll definitely be working with her again the next time we need a sitter! Thanks so much for your help!

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.
