Advanced Dog Handler

My name is Heather, and I have been a dog handler for many years. Besides my own pets, I built a dog business in Denver, CO, where I offered regular doggy daycare and boarding while I was pursuing my undergraduate degree. I am currently working from home, allowing me all the time in the world to provide your pet(s) with the love and attention they deserve. My puppy Grizzly is 1 year old who I walk 3-4 times a day and am always going out to parks and adventuring. He has been socialized well with other dogs and cats. The first 4 months of his life he lived with a large dog and 2 cats. He will be excited to have another playmate in his life. I have a passion for dog sitting and understand how crucial it is for owners to receive updates and pictures of all the adventures we will embark on while you are away.

Heather did an amazing job with Lou! She took him to the park and I know he was in heaven. She sent pictures and videos to keep us updated as well. Would definitely recommend

Heather was great with our dog Arya! We were so nervous leaving her with a stranger for 10 days, but had no reason to worry. Heather sent us lots of videos and pictures of Arya playing and going to the dog park. She was fantastic!

Heather is a good person to send your dog if you have an active dog who enjoys the the company and interactions with other doggies. She keeps them active by bringing them on field trips to parks and taking them on long walks. She is very kind to your pet as well.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 22, 2019

Heather was great with the pup and got him lots of play time and walks so he was nice and tired when I picked him up. I plan to use Heather again soon.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 13, 2019

Heather is great! Clearly cares for the dogs and keeps them super active and engaged. Good communication throughout the day. Kosmo was nice and tired from all the activity and slept like a rock when he got home. :)

Heather was great! I had a video/picture daily of my pup and he looked like he was having the best time. I get nervous leaving him places, he can get pretty anxious, but he seemed to do great and came home super tired!

Schedule

I am currently working from home and will be able to supervise your pet throughout the whole day. There are many small parks in my neighborhood that we are always walking to throughout the day. If I get time I am always trying to find a dog park for some off-leash fun time.
