I am very attentive and respectful of others homes, dogs, and instructions. Knowing that my own dogs take a minute to warm up to someone new, I will be sure to follow specific routines or guidance given! Your home will remain as it was when I enter!

Information Heather J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any triggers for your dogs or specific ways you’d like me to walk or care for them! I’m happy to follow your guidance.

A typical day

I love to play games, cuddle, and do training exercises! It’s great to see dogs learn new tricks! I use walks as exploration time for dogs.

Caring, Attentive, Dog Mom of 2!

Pet care experience

I’ve always had dogs in my life! I adopted my first dog, Beth, in 2015 when she was just 14 weeks old, and I trained her myself. During the pandemic, I adopted my second dog, Buz, at 8 months old who had aggression and resource guarding issues. Because of them both, I am very watchful of dog behaviors and am not afraid of big barks! I know training basics and am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes!

Heather is wonderful with dogs! She handled our less-than-perfectly-trained pup better than we’ve ever seen anyone manage. She’s also incredibly communicative and always on time. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Heather is an amazing, compassionate and attentive pet caregiver! She has pets of her own and understands the importance of being attentive and loving to all animals. She is a very proactive communicator and sends updates every step of the way, making me feel at complete ease. I trust her wholeheartedly with my pets and give her my strongest recommendation 😊
