Availability

I work full-time locally, which means I’m never far from home and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning and early evening walks, and I can always swing by for drop-ins during my lunch break. My schedule is consistent, and I pride myself on being reliable and communicative. Whether your pet needs a quick midday check-in or some after-work playtime, I’m flexible and always happy to help. I treat every visit with care, showing up on time and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. During visits, I follow any specific instructions you provide and make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar space. Whether it’s refreshing water bowls, giving a few extra belly rubs, or tidying up after a walk, I always go the extra mile to make sure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs they may have. Things like: Do they get nervous around strangers or other animals? Are there any health issues, medications, or allergies I should be aware of? How do they behave on walks—are they a puller, a sniffer, or more of a stroller? I also like to know their favorite toys, treats, and any commands they know. The more I know, the better I can make each visit safe, smooth, and enjoyable for your pet!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor our time together based on what they love most! For dogs, that might mean energizing walks, playtime with their favorite toys, or practicing basic commands. For cats, I’m all about interactive play, cozy cuddle sessions (if they’re into it), or just being a calm, reassuring presence. Whether your pet is playful or prefers a more laid-back vibe, I make sure they get plenty of attention, stimulation, and love during every visit.

Pet care experience

Your pup’s new favorite walking buddy! 🐾 With years of hands-on experience and a true passion for animals, I bring calm, confident energy to every visit. I grew up surrounded by pets and know how to read animal behavior, so whether your dog is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I tailor to their needs. I show up on time, treat your home with respect, and make sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve, every single visit.
