Availability

For in home sitting - I have to be able to go home every day for a couple of hours to check on my cat. So, no more than 15 minutes from my house. I can't leave home alone for extended periods of time. 7 days has been my longest time away. I currently work from home, so I'm pretty open to accommodate days and times. The only time I'm not available typically is Wednesday's from 4-5pm. Your pet might be home alone for short periods of time, but I'm mostly home all the time. I even love to take dogs to run errands with me.

Information Heather E. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along ok with cats? I have a resident cat. Does your dog like other dogs? Do they have leash reactivity? I do have experience walking large leash reactive dogs. Are they treat motivated?

A typical day

I work from home, so your dog will have the freedom to be let in and out all day. I also live near multiple parks.

Pet care experience

*Update starting Monday September 14th, 2026* My new regluar work schedule will now require at least once a week in office on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I will be unavailable during the day for drop-ins on one of those days from 8am-4pm. For overnight house sitting, I will be gone during the day at least once one of those days from 9am-3:30pm. Please check in with me to see which day I will be in office that week as it will rotate every week. Thank you! I'm officially insured beyond Rovers insurance for yours and my peace of mind. You can request a copy of my insurance card if you'd like. I now require all new boarding or daycare clients to do a meet and greet to verify how they will react to my resident cat. My cat will come out to hang in the same room. He is not interested in playing or being friends. He likes his space. But he's calm and friendly. If your dog is too curious of him, he will let them know. I'm also now requiring all dogs to have a crate for if I have to leave. Only to start out until they are comfortable in my home. I've always been an animal lover. I have one cat myself and always had dogs growing up. I've dog sat a couple dogs before. I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling them. I'm very much in tune with cats as well - even frighten kitties. I will love your fur baby like my own. If there is any special needs your pet requires, I can accommodate that as well. Hope to hear from you soon!

Our dog loved having Heather stay with him! She took such good care of our dog and our house. She sent us great updates and photos and left our house even cleaner than when we left. We lost power while she was gone and she was great sharing updates and being flexible. Would highly recommend her!

I live in Atlanta and was visiting my sister in Madison Heights, Mi. Heather‘s responsiveness, put me at ease, and I was able to enjoy the Tigers game knowing Kilo was being taken care of. Would highly recommend 😊

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.
