I can't express enough how grateful I am for Heather's incredible care of my two Havanese pups, Percy and Walter! From the moment I met her, I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Heather was not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly responsive, which put my mind at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with adorable photos and messages, showing just how much fun Percy and Walter were having. It was such a joy to see them playing and snuggling in her care! When I picked them up, it was clear they had a fantastic time. They were so happy and well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about Heather’s loving approach. Her attention to detail and genuine love for dogs made all the difference. I can't recommend Heather highly enough! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, she's the one. Thank you, Heather, for giving Percy and Walter such a wonderful experience! 🐾❤️

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Heather even celebrated our 14 year old beagle with ice cream and a candle🥰 She gave us daily updates whichever truly appreciated. I highly recommend her and so does our pooch.

Heather is the best. She takes such loving care of my little dog and has helped with his interaction with other dogs including small outings. I just appreciate her so much.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a town house that has a small fenced in back yard for some running around or getting fresh air on a nice day. Our last pet was a Havanese that lived on a boat with us for over 7 years. Our Havanese slept in our bed and was welcome onto the couches, however, I will reinforce keeping your pet off furniture if that is what they are used to. We have plenty of room for a crate for crate trained dogs.

A typical day

I love to take walks with dogs. My Havanese enjoyed riding in the car, so if your dog also likes riding in the car they can join me when I take/pick my kids up from school. You are welcome to leave your pet’s favorite toys with us. They will get plenty of playtime.
