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".
Reviews
Heather was great. She was responsive and was really good about sending pictures. I could tell she really cared for our dog.
Our dog, Greta, had a phenomenal stay with Heather. She got multiple walks daily and clearly took to Heather. Heather provided adorable daily pics / videos, and was super responsive and efficient. I feel like Greta’s found a new friend who we plan to use whenever we’re away. john
My dog and I had a wonderful experience with Heather. We'll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Heather!
Heather was great! We left our 1 year old Aussie Sully with her for the day and she kept us updated frequently with photos and texts on how she was doing. She was very quick to respond and listened to everything about Sully's routine and her "do's & don't". Heather is clearly a dog lover and I felt very comfortable having Sully spend the day with her. I know our pup was in good hands!

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!
