Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet

All dogs need to have a meet n greet with me and my dogs before I can accept them for boarding. This ensures a good transition for both the dogs and allows me to evaluate if the dog will fit into my family of dogs.

A typical day

I have a large back yard and will throw the ball out for some fetch, let them wander around to smell around or play or chase with another playful dog. Your dog's sleeping arrangement - All the dogs get their space in my living room, together as a pack or in their crate, brought from home. Time I'll spend with your dog - Your dog will have my company most of the day, with the possible exception of a few hours a day.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Heather, along with my Bassett Bree and we would love to have you join us at my place. Dogs have the run of house, no cages or crates allowed (unless you bring your own), the toys are abundant and I take pride in taking really good care of your dog, whether it is fetching their food, throwing a ball in the backyard, letting them watch the TV on the couch with me or relaxing in the backyard watching for the squirrels in the trees. Come check out the big back yard in a meet n greet. Join in on the fun! It’s a chill, calm environment, especially for elder pups. Families of multiple dogs are always welcome, please call for rates. I have 25 plus years of experience with birds, cats, horses and many other farm animals you might have. Just ask for a farm care rate! I pride myself to have a great place to stay, so come check us out. Hope to see you soon! High paw, Heather, Steve, and Bree 🐾 About this sitter: I am a professional pet services provider, with 25+ years experience with dogs, cats, birds and horses. I am licensed and insured, and also am certified for Animal CPR/First Aid, Dog Massage and Equine Massage. I can walk your dog, provide transportation services and do home visits as needed to care for your cats, birds, and farm animals.. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs and cats and have been an animal lover of all sorts since childhood. I have been professionally providing animal care services for 4 years. Meet my pets Two conures, Sunny and Mr. Greenjeans About my yard The backyard is fully fenced and double gated. The backyard is large, with a 2 gravel areas, one with it's own fire hydrant and a large grassy area that is shaded most of the day. The yard is flat, with one stepdown from the house, so elder dogs can manage quite easily. My experience administering medication Yes, I am able to give dogs and cats their pills or injections and can worm or give shots to your farm animals as well. This is my sole business, so I’m home with the dogs all the time. I have been doing this for 13 plus years and have a lot of experience. I have a very secure fenced yard, a very friendly, socialized senior dog, Jack to ease your dog to feeling right at home here. I will treat your dogs as if they’re my own. This is my full time work, so your dog will get my full attention. I ensure a calm, safe and playful environment is provided for all. I only do dog daycare or overnight Stays at my home, with my family of dogs. I feed twice daily and ensure a consistent routine for them to live by. They generally have access to the fenced in backyard all day long but aren’t ever left outside without supervision.

Barney had a great time with Heather and her pups. She was very responsive throughout the stay so we didn't worry at all. We got to see pics and videos of him having a blast. Would absolutely return!
