Safety, trust & environment

I am with my pets full time. I have in depth discussions with pet parents to fully understand all needs for pet and parent. I ensure any pet would fit well woth any other pet in my care before simply accepting all requests. If a senior can't handle a puppy then I won't likely take a puppy unless the puppy were comfortable being kept separate for example.

A typical day

I interact a lot with your oet,of that's what they want. But if they just need to rest,we can do that too! We go on walks at the dogs pace. I will take different dogs on different walks ... slow with slow, fast with fast. Some just like to smell the roses or read their pee-mails!

Pet care experience

I've been in need of flexible, affordable dog care myself. I will care for your pet as much as I care for my own. I'm lucky to have a very cool 12 year old Aussie mix, who accepts others into our home and on our adventures. I take long walks each day with the dogs, and take them where ever I can to get them out of the house and exercised. And I provide a clean, open space for overnights. I have a large fenced-in back yard to get all the zoomies out. See photos. And I have a spacious home with plenty of space for a pup to snooze in a quiet corner of their own! NOTE: "For drop off before noon, or pickups after 5, I charge an additional $10 fee and an additional $10 for the basic rate over Holiday weekends". NOTE: I no longer sit dogs under 2 years of age, or dogs who are not 100 % house trained. Thank you for understanding.

Heather was an absolute gem with our high-energy golden retriever, Luca! She handled his energy perfectly and kept us in the loop with frequent video updates that showed just how happy and settled he was. We especially appreciated how she accommodated our request to keep him off the furniture. We'd book Heather again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

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.
