Pet care experience

I already love your fur baby!

Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! Since I was a child, I’ve taken care of dogs. I grew up with a sweet, special needs bichon frise and cocker spaniel. As an adult I was a dog mom to a wonderful Jack Russell. When Roxy crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, I started house sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all dogs- young, old, and special needs. I have given medication to cats and dogs for medical conditions and separation anxiety, in addition to providing extra love and care. I love animals and would be glad to help you have a wonderful vacation knowing your pets are well cared for! If you have any questions, feel free to be in touch. A little more about my background: 
I graduated in 2003 from John Hopkins University with a Master’s in Education. I'm an elementary school teacher. I teach close by and can drop in anytime. I can provide house sitting in your home and /or mine. I can take care of your pet’s individual needs.

Heather is very dependable and caring towards our Moochi. Although it had been many months since Moochi had seen her, he remembered her and rubbed against her when he saw her. Heather is also a very good communicator. I highly recommend Heather!

I live in a gated community and have trails for walking. My experience living here has been wonderful for dogs! There are many dogs are in this community.

A typical day

Animals will be stimulated physically and mentally. They will get lots of TLC! I know of several dog parks if they like to socialize. On the other hand we have nice trails in my community if your pet likes to walk solo.
