Pet care experience

Come play with us in Durango!

I have been working with animals since I was a child! I grew up on a farm with horses and our trusty yellow Labradors, learning from an early age the true meaning of taking care of others. I love providing dogs the happiest experience - I find such joy when playing, running, skiing, or hiking with dogs and seeing the BIG smile on their faces! Any pups that stay with me, my husband, and our goofy dog, Miles, will have a fantastic time, as well as guaranteed adventure (as appropriate!). When your pup stays with us, he/she will never be left alone and will be treated as one of our own. Having fur-babies of our own, I understand the importance of knowing that your pup is well taken care of according to his/her needs. We hope to see you soon!

Heather did such an amazing job with our dog, Bruno! It was such a relief to know that he was having so much fun and being so well cared for while we were gone. We were afraid that he wouldn't want to come back home! She also sent the most amazing pics of him for us to enjoy! Thank you so much! Bruno can't wait to stay again!

Heather took great care of our pup, and was super accommodating to our schedule. She made sure to do all of Stella’s favorite things - went for a hike, played fetch, a dip in the river, and nap. She also sent many updates and photos throughout the day. Couldn't recommend Heather enough!

Heather was awesome! We could not have asked for a better sitter while we enjoyed the slopes. Heather made leaving Sunny with her easy, she sent text and picture updates and was very easy to deal with. We can't thank her enough for treating Sunny like one of her own.

Schedule

I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule. Considering this, your pup will never be left alone and enjoy our company (and snuggles) 24/7. I have a flexible schedule and will update my calendar weekly as needed regarding my availability.

I want to know anything and everything that makes your dog unique. Do you think you give too much information? That is a GOOD thing, in my opinion. Tell me everything I need to know to ensure your dog has a great time.
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.
