little bit of science, love, & pups

Pet care experience

My family has loved and cared for golden retrievers since I was a child. I know how important dogs can be to our families, and I want to show your dog a great time while you are at work or out of town. As a scientist, your dog will be in responsible and nurturing hands while we go on sniffing adventures around the bay. I have been dog sitting and walking for my friends and families for 10 years. Now that I am taking a short break from academia, I want to fill my life with the love of our best furry friends -- and I want to show your dog the best time while their best friend can't be home. I am happy to walk dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I look forward to earning the trust of you, your family, and your dog!

Heather has dogsat my little terrier mutt on occasion. He absolutely loves her and I absolutely trust her! Plus she leaves hilarious commentary on their time together for me to read when I return. Mickey can be a bit of a handful but no matter if he wants to cuddle, bark at everything under the sun on walks, or play tug-o-war, Heather is on it and genuinely seems to enjoy their time together. She is definitely top of my list when I am looking for a dogsitter.

Heather is a super loving and caring person, who has taken care of our dog Pi many times. Heather loves dogs and treats Pi better than we do For Pi it's like going on vacation, when she is with Heather.

Heather has a wonderful way with dogs. She loves them and they love her back. She has cared for our golden several times, and every time she returns to care for him again, he is crazy happy. She takes him on long walks and hikes, plays fetch, and sometimes just sits and cuddles. I can enthusiastically recommend Heather.

She will never leave your dog in the car. One night Heather and I decided to stop at a diner. My dog was with us, but I wanted to eat indoors, and I mentioned that he'd be fine waiting for us in the car. It was a mild night and he's used to waiting on errands. I will never forget the look on Heather's face -- you would think I had suggested we abandon a toddler at the mall. Well, we sat outside. I can honestly say that she treats my dog better than I do. When Heather visits my dog goes completely bananas with joy. It is by far the most complete and enthusiastic greeting any one dropping by my house gets. I believe it is because she has boarded him several times and taken surpassingly good care of him. She delivers food, medicine, discipline, treats, and scritches with the practiced air of someone who lives and breathes dog. I trust her completely with my animals and know that any living thing in her care is in excellent hands.
