Safety, trust & environment

I am very understanding that every pet and every home have their own way of doing things to ensure comfort and safety. I am happy to receive any and all instructions on how to provide the best care for your pet in your home, their comfort zone.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed or size preferences. I would like to know the size and temperament of the dog, any special needs or medications, their basic commands, their favorite treats and games and generally what makes them happy to bridge the time until you're home.

A typical day

I am happy to take dogs for a walk or run, play ball or tug games, give lots of petting and positive reinforcement. I am open to any special games, activities or treats your dog loves the most, and practicing obedience commands with your dog.

Compassionate Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

I have lived my whole life with cats and dogs and can't imagine life without them. I have gone through obedience training with multiple dogs, both the traditional style and positive reinforcement. I have owned and lived with dogs ranging from 6lbs to over 100lbs, puppies to old age, and those with challenging behaviors - aggression, biting, separation anxiety. I have studied dog behavior and I have excellent instincts when it comes to interacting with dogs. I have experience in getting dogs to take pills in all sorts of ways. I work from home and am flexible in scheduling. I can personally relate to how hard it can be to leave your dog all day or overnight, and how important it is to have a trustworthy person look after them while you're away. As an enthusiastic, reliable and caring pet lover, I hope I can ease your mind and brighten your pet's day! (I also have experience with a variety of livestock!)
