Safety, trust & environment

At the moment i am only accepting requests for drop ins or walks. Whether you have a dog or a cat, I will treat your home and your pet as if it were my own. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions about what is needed for your pet.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special needs your pet may have, and I’ll be happy to accommodate to the best of my ability. Since I have an open schedule I can provide multiple potty breaks, feedings, or medications.

A typical day

After meeting you and your pet, i will ask what your dog or cat loves to do so i can keep them on the same routine you have. After a walk, i will spend time with them either playing or hanging out. During dog walks i will make sure they get some energy out while staying safe.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Heather and a lover of dogs, cats and all animals. I’ve taken care of a Boston terrier named Moo for 14 unforgettable years. I also helped my mother in law with a rescued German Shepherd mix during his senior years. Currently I have a very young pup named Osi. I consider my dogs as my children and I will treat your babies the same. Between puppy training and senior care, bathing, grooming, medications and the cleaning of bedding, I love being around dogs of all breeds and spending time with them. I also have experience with cats and parakeets for many years from living home with my mother. A typical walk or a drop in visit with me will include: -plenty of exercise with your pet -playtime with their favorite toys -changing of water to insure it’s always fresh -tons of love and affection -my undivided attention for their safety -no socialization with neighbors pets unless told to do so by the owner (for safety reasons of course) -photos of your pet to make you feel at ease -cleanliness. If your pet has a mistake in my care I will inform you but also clean up so you don’t come home to a messy situation

Heather was a wonderful sitter for our two cats, who we found happy and healthy after one of the longest periods we've ever left them in a sitter's care. We also returned to a clean house with our mail and packages brought inside. Thank you, Heather.

We are very happy with Heather. She did all we asked, and brought her two sons along on the visits, which we consider a real play bonus for the dog, and hopefully enriching for the children. We will happily engage her again! Ani & Bill

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.
