VIP care and FENCED yard!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am Heather. I am professionally trained previously by Pampered Pooch Petsitting (overnight stays, home visits, dog walking) and Dogtopia (daycare-pack leader). I found my passion for working with dogs with my first dog Shannon (a labrador). I am currently a 7th grade Science teacher and have a love for working with children and dogs. I currently own a 5 Month old Weimaraner puppy named Bella Blu and she is one of the loves of my life! I do require that your dog or pup will be good with my puppy Bella if your dog is staying over for daycare or overnight. I would love to set up a Meet & Greet. I am very passionate about positive reinforcement and have done a lot of research and I am continually educating myself in the best dog training techniques. I am a very kind, responsible, and detail oriented person. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and gets plenty of love and exercise. I am a 70.3 Ironman finisher and triathlon lover so I am the best at making sure your dog stays active because I am also a very active person. My location is excellent because we have a beautiful big backyard with sunshine and shade, a beautiful neighborhood for walks and the W&OD trail is just down the street. If you are looking for someone who has excellent communication skills (will send you detailed updates including pictures through out the day), has expertise in dog training and professional pet sitting experience, and has a positive and caring personality then you have found the right pet sitter! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I can't wait to meet your sweet puppy/dog!

Heather and her dog Bella were great with our dog. She sent lots of pictures, was very responsive and also took our dog to the dog park! I would definitely recommend Heather.

We can't thank Heather enough. Max gets so excited when he gets to see his new girlfriend, Bella. For those that like to keep tabs on their pup while away, Heather sends lots of pictures that just make you smile and feel at ease.

Heather and Bella, her Weimaramar, were the perfect hostesses for my dog, Jason! Bella and Jason played really well together and I was very happy when Jason came home exhausted! Heather’s fenced back yard is perfect for playing. Heather was very thorough in asking about Jason’s routines and eating habits which made me very comfortable. Heather sent lots of photos and updates - it’s fun and reassuring to know your pup is having a good time when you’re away. I highly recommend Heather!

Five stars is not enough. Heather and her husband are fantastic. Max really got along well with their dog, Bella. Heather sent many pictures so we could keep tabs on our happy pup. Thank you!
