Dog's Best Friend
Pet care experience
I grew up with all sorts of animals and have always loved spending time with them. Your pets will get loads of attention from me, as I take full advantage of my time with them. You get your money's worth with me! I have helped potty train, helped teach tricks, have extensive experience pet sitting for animals with various needs and abilities, have experience sitting for elder pets and pets who need medication, and I am dedicated to catering my care to fit with your pet's personality making our time together fun and engaging. I take a positive reinforcement approach to dog training and build trust with the pets I watch. I spend a lot of time outside exploring new locations each day and our time together often ends with your pet exhausted. I have done loads of house sitting and have wonderful references. If needed I can even watch your other pets, too.
Reviews
We are so glad that we found Heather , she did wonderful job to take care of our 16 years old cat. She texted or FaceTime us when we were away. It made us feel relief for traveling.
If I could give Heather more than 5 stars, I would! Our dog had a blast with Heather. Heather took our dog to do so many fun things every day that she stayed with Heather. We got pictures of all the fun things she was doing, places she got to explore, and dogs she got to play and cuddle with. It was awesome to see her having such a blast. It made me so glad we found such an attentive and fun sitter.
Heather stopped by and took our energetic dog for a really long walk. It made our dog's day!
Heather was super sweet and took such great care of my puppy Milo! She took him to crissy beach and sent me lots of pics! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

I make sure to treat your house as if it were my own. This means keeping things clean and making sure that nothing is destroyed. If something does get broken (which is uncommon) you will always know and if it was my fault I will, of course, replace it. It is not uncommon for people to ask for me to bring in their mail, water their plants, etc. and I am happy to help how I can.
Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or if there are any tricks, routines, etc you would like for me to incorporate into our time together. It is important to let me know if your pet gets along well with other animals as well as other people especially, children. It is also great to know if they are good off leash as this will influence what types of places we go together.
A typical day
Going for long walks in nature, hanging out at dog parks, practicing tricks, and snuggling up on the couch are my favorite things to do with the pets I watch. I make a point to try and make every day different. This means going to different environments daily and letting them get all the good new smells so that they look forward to every day we spend together.

I am getting my master's degree right now allowing me to take your dog out on frequent walks. When sitting for dogs that are well behaved I tend to bring them with me everywhere I can, keeping them active and engaged. Taking care of your animals is my way of getting time with them during a time in my life when I cannot have them. I love all animals and promise to care for them with all the love I would impart to my own animals.
