Pet care experience
"When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul." -- Anthony Douglas Williams ❤️🐶😻❤️ Recently moved from Del Mar back to my hometown, Alameda! Over 30 years’ experience with dogs and cats of various breeds, personalities, sizes, and volunteer at Petco through San Diego Cat Adoption Service (“CATS”), a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue. Prior volunteer at the Oakland Zoo for two summers assisting in the feeding and care of primates, exotic birds and small cats. Friendly, energetic, reliable, trustworthy animal lover. Enjoy being outdoors, hiking coastal trails, combing dog beaches and exploring nearby parks. Will shower your pet with positive attention, good exercise and companionship. He or she will be safe, comfortable and “tail waggingly” happy in my hands. At times, providing your pet with a healthy/active lifestyle while juggling work and/or other personal responsibilities can be a little “ruff.” Take comfort in knowing that your pet is being given the attention and care he or she needs when you are unable to be in two places at the same time. My dog walking services are one-to-one walks, with the exception of multiple pups from the same family who are accustomed to walking together. Your pet always has my full attention--in your home, during walks, and while taking part in social activities such as playing with other dogs at the beach or the local dog park. Interested in walks or visits for your pet 3 or more times per week on an ongoing basis? Looking for shorter visits/walks/potty breaks? Feel that 30 minutes is just not enough time? Please contact me. I offer reduced rates for ongoing clients and extended or shorter walks/visits. Additionally, if you are not able to locate the type of service you need, I would enjoy discussing and customizing a personalized plan for you and your pet. 🐾🐶😻🐾
Reviews
Very flexible and will work with you on your needs. Communicative and sends pics!
Heather was just amazing with our puppy! She is very flexible and took such great care of our pup. I am thankful to have found Heather and look forward to having her continue to take our puppy for walks. She is very attentive and responds quickly. She made sure that she had water and gave her lots of love! I highly recommend Heather for any of your doggie needs!
It’s no surprise that Heather has such great reviews! She has a sparkly, sunshine-y presence that dogs and humans are drawn to. My little Daisy loved her walk with Heather, and I was happy to be able to enjoy my time away without stress and the need to rush home.
Heather is awesome. She took such good care of our two seniors doggos. They were happy and healthy on our return (and our house looked great too!). Heather is extremely friendly, flexible and really cares. We'd definitely entrust her with our furry family members again.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer a variety of walks, visits, excursions and quality pet/home sitting with an emphasis on personally tailored care based on your and your pet(s) needs and your preferences.
Information Heather F. would like to know about your pet
I am committed to ensuring the health and happiness of your pet(s) and will be asking questions in order to understand their personality, temperament, interests/preferences, daily routine, behavior towards other animals/people and any anxieties they may experience. Additionally, will ask questions about medical history--such as dietary restrictions, allergies, medications, recent illnesses, current vaccinations (if puppy is older than 4 months), and whether they are spayed/neutered, etc. Please contact me for a complimentary meet and greet!
A typical day
We are so fortunate to be located in such a fantastic area with so many beautiful neighborhoods and dog-friendly places. Enjoy walking, especially with dogs. In addition to playing fetch and other games, will take your dog on walks at the park, in your neighborhood and other excursions exploring dog parks, beaches and local trails with your approval. If your dog or cat is a “home body” and would prefer exploring the great indoors, we will enjoy playing, snuggling on the couch, watching a good movie or listening to music. In my care, your pet will receive loving companionship, belly rubs and some good ole' scratchies. Also a big fan of mentally stimulating activities for both dogs and cats. Please don't get me started on cat toys and "hide and go seek the treats" . . . So much fun!
