Availability

Working remotely full time gives me the ability to be there for your pet 100%. When your dog is at my house, I am able to let your dog out into my fenced yard for supervised play and will give frequent potty breaks as needed. I also schedule time throughout the day to take your dog on walks as requested. When I am housesitting, I will work remotely from your home and therefore I aim to work around your pet's normal routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood and a friendly dog at home to keep your furry friend company. I am happy to take your pet on frequent walks or let them out as needed, depending on your pet’s needs. Fresh water is always available and I will feed your pet as requested. Many of my clients have food allergies and I am very cautious when feeding your pet and follow all feeding instructions. Happy to make time for playtime and give treats as requested. While I typically only take in one dog at a time when boarding or doing daycare (unless there are multiple dogs from one family), I am open to making exceptions, but require that all dogs and families meet prior to booking. I do have two step-children (ages 16 & 13) that are home 50% of the time. I try to book when they are not home but will let you know if schedules overlap before we book! I am certified with the American Red Cross in Dog/Cat First Aid which expires 04/15/2026 and I carry petsitting insurance through Pet Care Insurance (PCI). This annual policy expires 07/20/2024.

Information Heather J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. It’s helpful to know your pet’s typical daily routine and their activity level. Are there any behavioral issues I need to know about? Is your pet on any medication or do they have any allergies? Where do they like to sleep? Are they are allowed to have treats? Is your pet crate trained? Is your pet current on all vaccines? I require a meet and greet before scheduling any service so we can meet in person and make sure I am a good fit for your pet.

A typical day

I always want to make sure your pet is well cared for and stimulated throughout the day. Whether that means taking in new smells during a walk through the neighborhood, playtime in the house or in the yard, or just giving your pet some space and quiet time; I’ll make sure they feel loved, stick to their routine, and get the attention they need.

Always There For Your Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets in my life-for my entire life! I've been so fortunate to have had a family pet in my life since I was born. I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I understand the love and compassion that our pets bring into our lives and I always strive to treat your pets like my own! I've been pet sitting since I was a teenager and have been the go to sitter for friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family. I’ve worked with rescues, puppies, seniors, and everything else in between. I have experience administering both viral and injected medication and have worked with rambunctious dogs to those that are older and need their space. I also have experience caring for cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, frogs, houseplants, coy ponds, and large gardens! I have a 6 year old vizsla/coonhound rescue named Murray at home! He's an active dog that loves playtime with other dogs of all sizes and loves going camping, taking walks, and playing tug of war.

Heather is such a wonderful sitter! Albus and Odin were so well cared for and it’s so nice to know our pups are in good hands. Thank you so much Heather, James, and Murray!

Heather is so amazing! We used her once a few years ago when our normal sitter couldn’t watch our pets and she did great then! Fast forward a few years and our normal sitter stopped doing Rover so we had to find someone else. I felt so confident that Heather could be the right fit for us and I was so right! She has great communication, listened to all that we needed, was flexible, thorough, and we came home to a well taken care of home and our pets were so happy! We are very picky with who we let in our home and Heather is just so wonderful! Thank you Heather for a great experience! We will hopefully use her as our regular sitter going forward! ♥️♥️♥️

Heather was so helpful with our same-day booking. She was so sweet with our pup and even sent us updates on how she was doing!

Heather is the best. She was available last min for my week vacation after a family member flaked on watching my pups. She responded quickly to my request and kept me updated the entire time. The pictures also let me see how happy my pups were while I was away. I will recommend and use her services again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
