Full-Time, Loving Dog Care!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Heather! I am an advocate for all animals. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I frequently serve; Calabasas, Malibu, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills and West Hills. I respond to all inquiries received as quickly as I can. Please take a moment to read through the details I have provided as it will answer questions you may have. I've included important information about myself, my experience with animals, descriptions of rates and services provided. ***Regretfully, I am no longer able to board dogs at my home due to some rule changes about having animals at my residence (as a result you will see my dog boarding services set to the "away" mode), However, I am happily here for your dog/cat/other animal care needs in your home*** Additionally, dog walking is a service I provide during a stay at your home.. I am no longer able to provide this as an isolated booking. I have owned and cared for dogs old and young, large and small. My passions in life are animals, nature/hiking, writing and music. I am 35 years old, with 15 years experience as a dog-care provider (not including the many years I grew up raising dogs in my home) I also have additional experience as a medical assistant and a security officer. I studied criminal justice in school and have always put safety first for my loved ones, myself and all dogs I care for. The security of your home while you are away is also something I am very mindful of and will follow any guidelines/instructions you have. I am patient and caring with a lot of experience on the individual dog, and catering to their unique needs. If you're considering boarding your dog in a kennel, please consider reaching out to me instead! Your dog is cared for and loved as if they are my own and I am able to follow any kind of schedule they will need. When you’re away I don't want you to worry for a second about your babies. Rest assured I will send you plenty of photo and video message communication during the time I care for them. ***Please Note*** my Rover profile indicates I only send these updates 10% of the time to clients; Rover only keeps track of updates that have been sent through their app. While I am contracted with Rover and thus will *always* book services entirely through the Rover app, I send all photo/video updates personally & directly via text to your cell phone. After sending updates for a brief period through the app when I first started with Rover, I realized that my clients seem to prefer the form of direct SMS communication for my stay updates with their dog(s). In addition, I find it important to have each other's cell phone number for the purpose of quick communication in case of unexpected technical issues with the app. Please read through all the following details carefully; my hope is that the information I've provided will address any questions you may have. I am always here to answer any questions/concerns, feel free and message me anytime. __________________________________________________________________________________ Included in each House-Sitting (Overnight): **24 hours of care** Rate: -1 adult dog; $85 -$10 per additional dog -1 puppy: $95 Examples; - One puppy + one adult dog= $105/ 24hrs. -Two adult dogs= $95/ 24 hrs. -One puppy= $95/ 24hrs. -One adult dog= $85/ 24 hrs **My rates for overnight covers each 24 hours of my stay with your dog(s) **An additional, flat-rate daycare fee will be applied for those stays that exceed 24 hours between my arrival and departure. Specifically meaning; if my arrival time on day one is much different than my departure time on the day you return, this additional flat fee will be added to the total cost of the booking. As a courtesy, I allow for 1-2 hours maximum wiggle room to account for traffic and flight discrepancies. The flat fee daycare (if applied) will be calculated at half of a one day rate of my stay with your dogs. ————————————————————— __________________________________________ Please note for any other animals in the home (cats, birds, horses, etc) that require feedings and/or administration of medication during my stay with your dog(s), I charge an additional $15 per day for up to two feedings for your other animals (dog feedings are of course included in my stay rates for the dogs you are booking) ________________________________________ __________________________________________ ***HOLIDAYS are defined as: (New Years Eve Day, New Years Day, Easter, Memorial Day, President's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day).***Due to the high demand for services on and around holidays, my holiday rate is also applied to any days in the stay connected to these holidays; Overnights: $20 on top of normal rates Drop in visits and walks: $8 on top of normal rates ___________________________________________________________________________________ For all New Guests and their Dogs: I'd love to meet you and your dog(s) and for us to get to know one another prior to booking together. Please message me, letting me know about your dog(s), what you are looking for and when you are available to meet with me! I look forward to it : ) ___________________________________________ *I ask for new guest reservation requests/inquiries to be at least 3 days in advance of when you are in need my services, (so that we can plan our Meet-n-Greet)* Please note, a booking cannot occur unless we have met prior* ————————————————————— **My Cancellation Policy is Moderate** please refer to my profile for further details. The definition of "moderate" applies to last minute cancellation prior to stays and also modifications/cancellations of days during the stay once it has begun. Any of these cancellations (per policy) will receive a 50% refund). Attention to detail, hands-on loving care, paired with the many photo and video updates I send all of my clients will put your mind at ease while you are away. Thanks for stopping by and considering me for your dog-care needs! If you have ANY other questions at all, don't hesitate to message me and ask. I respond to my messages received in a timely manner.

Heather truly is the best pet sitter you can find. She genuinely loves animals and our two pups absolutely love her! She is very responsive, reliable and constantly sent updates, pictures and videos. She house sat while we were away and we came back to a home that was in the same condition as how we left it! We will ALWAYS look for Heather for all our pet sitting needs... hands down the best!

Heather was great with our fur babies. She couldn’t have been more diligent with her care and sending us videos and photos. Our dogs loved her and she allowed us the opportunity to completely relax and enjoy our 10 day vacation without any concerns. We are so happy to have met Heather!
