The best care for your best friend!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Heather H. I love animals. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have always had a genuine passion for dogs! As someone who has used services for my own dog in the past, my goal is to help families take off some pressure so both they and their pets can enjoy life to the fullest! I have one dog of my own, Finnigan, a six-year-old Goldendoodle whom I adore. Recently, we rescued a four-month-old kitten who we call Huck. I love exercising with Finn every day and he pushes me to be the best I can be. Most recently, we hiked all of Acadia National Park's peaks together. Currently, we are exploring all of the local dog-friendly preserves, trails, parks, and oceans. Being outdoors with dogs is my favorite place to be. Some hobbies that I have are photography, hiking, art and cooking. Professionally, I have been working in nonprofits for eight years, mostly in fundraising, stewardship, and events that support children's causes. I am available for days, nights and weekends for walks and drop-in visits. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have; I would love to help you and your pup (or kitty!) as much as I can! I look forward to hearing from you.
Reviews
Heather’s buddy, Finnegan, is one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever been around. Heather and I have been taking dog kids for walks together for a few months now, and I can’t tell you how much fun it’s been been watching those goofballs play. We, meaning Heather and myself, have spent most of the time during our walks laughing at the hilarity our dogs can produce, and I’m certain we wouldn’t be laughing if either of us were bad for our dogs; It’s easy to spot that kind of thing. There aren’t many people I’d trust with my pup, but I’d happily give my pup to Heather if the situation ever called for it. Oh, and Heather’s also one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever known. Honestly, she’s great and she’s strong and wise. You’d be doing yourself a favor in hiring her.
Heather is amazing! Her love for dogs and her ability to connect with them is evident from the first time you meet her! Heather treats dogs like the valuable, cherished part of the family that they are and goes above and beyond in her care of not only her own beloved dog but all dogs! I can't say enough wonderful things about her! I trust her with my fur baby wholeheartedly and look forward to seeing her again!
About Heather H.

Skills
Information Heather H. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know if: *Your dog has any special dietary/feeding needs or special exercise requirements, *If they get along with other dogs/animals (for example, would he/she enjoy a long hike with my dog or prefer a walk around the neighborhood alone?). *How well your dog does off-leash and how do they interact with other dogs, if at all. *Are you working on any training I should be aware of? *Do they have any food/toy aggression?
A typical day
I want to give your dog the best experience possible and will work with you to ensure that happens through tailored visits. If your dog prefers a walk around the neighborhood, fetch in the backyard, or an adventure to a local dog park, beach or hike, we can make that happen.
