Your Pet's (Substitute) Best Friend
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Heather and I LOVE DOGS! I have had dogs all my life and I understand that dogs play an integral role in the family dynamic. Starting at age 12 I provided pet care for several families back in Dallas. I currently work at a veterinary hospital in South Austin, and my dog, Miss Moo Moo has been my best four-legged friend for over 10 years. I have worked for other pet care companies in the past and never had any issues or complaints. While dogs are my passion, I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I can't wait to meet your fur babies and become bffs (best friends furrrever) I try to keep my line of communication very open. I am not afraid to ask questions if I am unclear about instructions, and I love taking pictures daily and sending them to my clients throughout the day so you can see how much fun we are having. My routine involves whatever instructions my clients give me (plus maybe an extra treat or two for good behavior.) I am comfortable administering most medications and adhering to strict diets/feeding schedules if need be. I am well-versed in most harnesses, although I will never turn down a demonstration. Whether your dog is a puppy or a senior, large breed or small breed, active or sedentary, I know that we will get along famously.
Reviews
Heather was amazing. She was so kind with my 6yo miniature dachshund and very communicative, sending daily updates and photos. You can tell she has a knack for caring for animals as one of her own. I will definitely book again.
Heather took great care of our Basset teenager! This was Red’s first time with a sitter in our home and tends to be wary of strangers but took to Heather right away. We received photos and videos every day which was greatly appreciated. Red was happy to see us and acted as if we had only been gone a few hours. Thanks Heather!
Heather was great. Easy to communicate with and the key exchange both ways was seamless. Definitely recommend and will hire again!
