🍂🐶🎃Fall Break Availability🐾🍁🎾

When caring for animals, safety is my primary concern, followed closely by happiness and wellbeing. You can expect to receive daily updates, pictures and videos. You can also expect prompt responses from the moment I receive a request, during the booking, and even follow up messaging after the booking has ended. I make individual care plans depending on age, size and breed of the dog. Meaning that if your pup/s have high energy, more play time is necessary and allotted. If your pup/s are a laid back senior, then we spend more time relaxing. With safety in mind, I do crate dogs when I have to leave the home (no more than 2 hours at a time) and at night. Even if your pup is a perfect angel at home, sometimes, when in new environments, they like to explore. I would not want them to ingest or get into anything potentially harmful when I can't have my eyes on them. ALL DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED PROIOR TO BOARDING IN MY HOME

Heather is amazing! This is our second time booking with her. She does so well with our 9 month old puppy and we always come home to a happy pup. She is great about communicating with us and sending us lots of pictures. Will continue to rebook in the future!

Heather was so communicative and understanding! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and he will definitely be back in the future.

Heather is the gold-standard for dog sitters. She is extremely trustworthy, puts maximum effort into caring for your dog, and stays in frequent communication for your peace of mind.

Heather was the best! She sent us daily updates with plenty of pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing our babies were in good hands. We also loved how organized and efficient pick up and drop off were. She made the whole experience easy and stress free, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Heather made Cocoa feel right at home. Her attention to detail was very reassuring to me during my travels. Picture updates showed Cocoa having a blast! I think my velcro baby had the best weekend with Heather!

Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our four legged child! Heather was very thorough and easy to work with through the booking process. She made our first time using a rover easy and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you again!

Pets

A typical day

It's important to give the same level of love, attention, and care to every animal as though it were my own. However, each dog has it's own individual needs, I am able to cater to whatever each dog's needs will be.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Heather can host up to 10 pets per night
I require up to date vaccinations (Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP), as well as proof of flea, tick and heartworm prevention. I would love to know anything that needs specific attention, such as injury, illness, behavioral concerns, any known allergies, and routines. I feed my dog a raw diet, so there's no problem feeding your dog/s a raw or any other specific diet. I do not have any breed preferences. Please pack 2 extra days food rations, just incase your pup needs a few extra calories, or you're delayed in returning home.
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.
