Information Heather H. would like to know about your pet

Please share anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. This can include mobility needs, medication schedules, emergency contact information, special diets or allergies, quiet time, or anything that helps them relax. I’d also love to know their favorite spot to rest so I can care for them gently and in the way that feels most familiar to them while you’re away.

A typical day

My days with pets are gentle and focused on what makes them feel safe, comfortable & Engaged.I adjust to each dog’s personality — whether that means a relaxed walk, quiet companionship, or playful time outside in their yard , their favorite ball, or favorite park or walking path. In Spring & Summer I love dogs who enjoy water play time:) . For cats, I find their favorite toys or chilling spot and engage as I am invited:) Whatever the day, I give every pet one-on-one attention, follow their routines closely, satisfy their energy output needs, and make sure they feel cared for and at ease while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I provide calm, attentive care shaped around each dog’s temperament, routine, and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who benefit from extra movement and outdoor time, whether that means neighborhood walks, time at Sellwood Riverfront, Elk Rock hikes, Mt. Tabor, or any of your dog’s favorite spots. I also have experience with dogs who enjoy water play and understand how to balance activity with safety, pacing, and comfort. My goal is to offer a grounded, dependable presence so pets feel secure, engaged, and well cared for while their people are away.

Heather is great with my energetic puppy! She doesn’t seem phased by his puppy antics and has done a wonderful job of walking him this week.

Our first overnight per sitting experience and Heather was thoughtful, tidy, and most of all, very caring to our cat and dog. I appreciated her high contact communication and going the extra step to introduce new brain play activities to our dog. Highly recommend!

Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!
