Safety, trust & environment

For the safety of your pets and mine, I am unable to take same-day appointment requests with new clients. I like to do at least 1 meet and greet with your pets before any paid visits, so I can get to know your pets and their personalities, and make sure you feel comfortable with my services.

Information Heather K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors or dietary restrictions that we’ll need to be aware of during play (and treats) time.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs mentally and physically. We’ll take long walks to “read the newspaper” and sniff all the great smells of play with a puzzle toy to prevent boredom. My favorite breeds of dogs are working dogs that tend towards mischief when bored, so I am always looking for new activities to keep pups stimulated.

Cat lover with years of experience!

Pet care experience

I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’ve been a dedicated pet lover my entire life, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pets. I understand that your furry friends are part of your family, and I treat them as such. I have over 20 years of pet care experience with cats and dogs, from kittens/puppies to seniors, including experience caring for multiple dogs at once in doggie daycare/overnight boarding. However, I prefer being able to provide direct care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar home. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll take the time to understand yours and their individual needs, routines, and preferences, so they feel comfortable and loved during your absence. Whether it’s midday visits for pets at home during long work hours, or extended weekends away, you can be sure your pets are in good hands. A bit about me: I currently live with 3 very talkative kitties of my own, who each have very unique personalities and preferences.

Heather is our first rover sitter and we couldn’t have picked better. She is amazing with Winnie and so caring. She even gives some love and attention to our cat when she visits. I highly recommend Heather if you’re thinking about booking for the first time. 🤍🐾

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.
