Fun and Interactive Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I love animals and they love me. I've been around animals - particularly dogs my entire life. However, my living situation for the last 8 years has prohibited me from having my own animals so I have made myself available to pet sit. I work hard to minimize the stress an animal feels when his people are gone and try to maintain the exercise and living routines the animal is familiar with. I'm good at cuddling, calming anxiety, and encouraging good behavior with treats and commendation. I also live to be outside and love exercise. I can keep up with those dogs who need to run and otherwise be active. I can provide basic grooming needs and pick up pet waste from the yard. I have a house cleaning business as well as pet sitting. While I do have to be gone at times, this is a business that provides flexibility so I can fill the needs of your pet.
Reviews
Heather is so dependable, responsive and fantastic with our girls. We are so grateful we found Heather!!! We always feel like our girls are well taken care of and in great hands when we are away. We trust her completely!!!!
Heather was wonderful with our girls!!! She worked with our overly friendly, let’s go for a drag, Aspen. Best part was the incredible progress she made with our slow to trust, timid, Vista. We received updates and pictures the whole time. Made us feel secure in knowing our girls were being loved and cared for as we would want them to be at home in their comfort zone. So happy to find Rover and Miss Heather.
She was amazing and super flexible with watching my pups. She sent me photos in the morning and throughout the day. She stayed late on the Fourth of July to make sure they weren’t anxious before leaving. The dogs seemed super happy when I got home and I can tell they were loved on and well cared for. House was the exact way I left it which I appreciate. Definitely recommend!
She is very good with dogs and mine loved her. She did an amazing job of keeping her calm and as little worried as possible. She formed a bond with my pup which I think is a perfect quality for watching an animal for any period of time

Information Heather H. would like to know about your pet
I like to know an animals age and any health concerns. Dietary information is important. I also need to know if the animals has been fostered or has experienced emotional trauma in the past so I can support it's well being and modify my body language so as not to be threatening in any way. Large breed dogs are my favorite, but I have dog sitting experience with all size dogs and many different breeds.
A typical day
I am a runner and a hiker. If there are good running (or walking if your dog doesn't like to run) routes near you, I prefer to stay close to your pet's neighborhood. I only drive to additional places with the pet owners permission. I'm very familiar with trails in Ute Valley Park, Red Rocks, Garden of the Gods and Palmer Park
