I'll care for your dog like it's my own
Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Heather! I am dog lover with an active lifestyle. I'm originally from the US and live in an apartment close to both Vondelpark and Rembrandt park with my Dutch partner Paul. I was raised with dogs as a part of the family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I grew up with a dalmatian and rescued an Australian Shepherd/sheltie that were both full engery and fun. I pet sat for many years for both friends and family and Paul and I also fostered 3 dogs (2 from Romania and 1 from Gran Canaria) during the various covid lockdowns. We know that every pet can have their own quirks and specific needs to keep them happy and healthy. If your pet has special medical needs I have experience with giving medication in pill and drop form. It's probably not too long until we get a dog of our own, but until then we're excited about the opportunity to care for your dog and we'll make sure to give them the love and attention they need while you're away! If you would like to schedule a meet up with me prior, I would be more than happy to do that. I look forward to meeting you and your pup.
Reviews
Heather is an amazing pet sitter! She regularly sent me pictures, and I could tell my dog had a great time. She was flexible when my flight got delayed. I will definitely choose Heather again. Highly recommend!
Really good experience and they looked after her really well!!!! Would recommend.
Heather and her partner were absolutely wonderful and took such good care of Theo. He was treated with such kindness and love. I highly recommend them!
It was a very good experience for us and definitely seems also for Milo :) It was quite stressful for us to leave Milo while we were on leave for a 4 day holiday but thanks to Heather we were very confident and comfortable during Milos stay. Heather was very good with Milo from the very beginning and shared info and photos about Milos well being regularly. All the process went very nice and easy. Heather thanks again…

We had to go through approval to foster, so our home had been verified safe by two separate review organizations. We'll keep things similar to your home environment when it comes to crating or not (at night, etc.)
Home
Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet
I usually like to start with a few basic questions just to get a little background... What's your daily routine? Is your dog on any medications or have any unusual or specific behaviors that would be good to know about? So we're prepared for walks, we also like to know ahead of time if the dog has any problems on leash when seeing other dogs from a distance or if another owner approaches to do a meet and greet, etc.
A typical day
We love taking the dog out for walks in the park-either a meet and greet type for plenty of attention or a more quiet route of that's better suited. We also like getting out of the city and going to nature areas on the weekends if the dog is okay in the car.

We're both currently working from home mainly (one of us will be there if not both) so your dog will be looked after well. We'll get a little background on your schedule and try to stick to that mainly to keep things relatively similar for your pup.
