Pet care experience

Professional in-home pet care!

**16yrs experience in offering Professional Boarding, Daycare, and Training. I have owned, ran, and operated in-home and commercial facilities during this time.** I started training dogs in 2010, and then opened my professional training company several years later. Now I follow my passion with helping people and dogs live peacefully together, and enrich both human and the dog's life. I am constantly learning more from new books, classes, and conferences every year, and have mentors across the world who help me continue my education and expand my knowledge. I strive to have the most effective and fair way of communicating with dogs. I have worked with over 10,000 dogs to date, and would love to care for yours as well! I have 13 years of experience in: -Canine psychology and behavior -Pack psychology -Dog Training & Behavior -Dog Walking -Owning and Operating a Dog Boarding & Daycare facility -Puppy whelping and training before 8 weeks and puppy development (ENS and puppy culture programs) -Canine Anatomy and Nutrition -Raw Nutrition and Holistic/Natural Health -Canine Theriogenology (Study of reproduction and breeding) -Obedience Training -Off Leash Training -Gentle E-collar methods -Training Through Play -Canine Cognition (aka “Dognition”) and Emotion -Canine Evolution -Animal Welfare and Law -Essential Oils for Animals In my 13 years of Professional business, I have offered: -Group Puppy Classes -Group E-Collar Classes -Group Walking Classes -Pack Walks -Private Lessons working in Obedience and behavior modification -Board and Train options where dogs live with me while they are being trained -In Home Boarding -In Home Daycare -Agility Classes -Swimming Classes It is what I do for a living 24/7. All day, every day, we take care of animals, train owners, and also train staff at daycare and boarding facilities on proper safety measures, husbandry, and Standard Operating Procedures. We have taken care of a minimum of 3 dogs all the way up to 30 dogs (with staff) on a daily basis. These days, with our current lifestyle, we keep our numbers to around 8 in our home. Every day, they get social time with other dogs, individual play time, fun activities, and rest time throughout the day. Every day is an adventure here! WHAT TO EXPECT BOARDING/DAYCARE: I offer a safe, comfortable place for your dog. I have large and small crates available for nap times with blankets, beds, and play soft music for them if I have to leave. Your pets are part of our family while they stay with us, however they are not the only animals here that I care for. Their safety and wellbeing are our main concern. If they have to be left alone during the day, I always separate and crate everyone to keep them safe, as well as at night. Dogs will be crated when not 100% supervised, when rotating groups throughout the day, during training lessons I teach during the day, if I have to leave, and at night time. This is for everyone's safety. Every day, they get multiple opportunities to play with the other dogs and/or toys if they so choose, love and attention, and structure in the home so they know exactly what is expected of them. We offer puzzle toys, chews, and play games with them every day! *We have children, and we schedule our day around our clients. Please be on time for your drop off appointments! I CANNOT ACCEPT LATE DROP OFFS! Drop off times: 7:00-7:45am (please let me know an ETA) Pick up times: 4:00-6:00pm (please let me know an ETA) We do not offer services for reactive or aggressive dogs at this time. All dogs coming into our home must be good with other animals and children.

Heather took great care of our dog, Melina! From the moment I contacted Heather to the point when we picked up our dog, Heather was very responsive and communicative. The drop off and pick up was super easy! If we are back in the area, I know I will absolutely use Heather again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have almost 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, all breeds, and special needs as well. I have worked with tens of thousands of dogs, and fostered hundreds. I have delivered and cared for 14 litters of varying breeds, and did senior geriatric care. I have knowledge and experience in vet tech care and special medical needs. Your pet will be in the best of hands when I care for them.

A typical day

It all depends on the day! A typical day starts around 6am with a potty break (15min) and then come back in and play time for another 15-30min or so, and then breakfast. Everyone is then settled down to digest their food. Cuddles, activities, and 2-3 more potty breaks throughout the day. In the evening: dinner, another final potty break arpune 9-10pm, then bedtime! Activities could include: socializing multiple times a day with other dogs, play time inside, cuddling, playing ball, swimming, sprinkler time, fetch, puzzle toys, etc. I incorporate your dog into our daily life every day! One of the things that sets us apart is my extensive knowledge of canine behavior, anatomy, health, and nutrition. I have been in the dog industry for 16 years! I have been training, boarding, running daycare, participating in rescue/shelters, and teaching workshops for that long. I enjoy watching dogs play together, and learn from each other. I also enjoy teaching people about proper dog play! Let's let dogs be dogs, while offering safe, structured activities for them to exercise their brains!

You dog will be crated sometimes throughout the day, and at night time. This is for everyone's safety when I can't watch them 100% of the time. Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medication, injuries, supplements, is fed raw, etc. I run a structured home, so your dog will be plenty tired and happy when they go home! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE senior dogs, and would love to watch your old dogs while you're away! That's where my heart is, mostly. **I do not take on dogs who aren't friendly with kids or other dogs at this time**
