I currently work full-time during the school year so depending on your pets needs they may need to be kenneled (depending on the dog) during the day for about 7 hours. However, in the morning before work, and late afternoons into the evening they would be out and part of the family. If we have dogs that are not sure of each other we do have a gate to section off different parts of our home so all can have their safe space. If you have any questions please ask. We would love to welcome your furry friends into our home!

Pet care experience

I have worked in the field of special education for the past 23 years. I have owned a variety of pets all of my life. I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, pot bellied pigs, fish, turtles, lizards and more! We currently are a 1 dog (English Bulldog named Waffles) family. My boys (ages 16 and 18) and husband also love pets! During your pets stay they would receive quality loving care including feeding, play, and more. We have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. The fence is a 6 foot wood privacy fence. We live in a pet friendly neighborhood on the west side off of Ellis road. We would love to help your family out while you are away. ❤

Never used Rover before, never trusted anyone with our dogs besides family before; Heather DID NOT disappoint. Pictures & videos while we were gone kept us calm our dogs were in good hands.

Heather was awesome! It was so nice to leave our three cats in the care of someone who was so clearly competent and kind. The cats were very well taken care of while we were gone. I will definitely book Heather again!

Heather was so good with our two dogs! She took our request at such short notice and provided frequent text and picture updates. Heather and her son gave our boys lots of exercise, treats and was very patient with them especially since it was their first time overnight boarding. Would definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
