Availability

My husband & I do both work FT. While I work full-time in a corporate role, my evenings and weekends are wide open, perfect for giving pets the love, attention, and care they deserve when life gets busy! I also do work remotely twice per week to support those odd days when in a pinch. We are normally available for walks in the evening and weekends.

Information Heather L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I love to learn all about their unique personality and needs! Please let me know if they have any special routines, medical needs, quirks, or triggers—like fear of loud noises, separation anxiety, or leash reactivity. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and right at home! Given that we have 2 pets within the home, your furry friend would be house trained and dog/ cat friendly.

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of tail wags, playtime, and plenty of love! We start with a morning potty break, breakfast and a refreshing walk, especially if your pup loves the outdoors. Throughout the day, there’s time for fetch in our large, fenced yard, cozy naps, belly rubs, and enrichment games to keep their minds active. In the evening, we wind down with a stroll on the nearby 5km trail and some cuddle time. Whether it’s play, rest, or just companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and right at home.

Heather and Al are absolutely fantastic! Our GSP just did an overnight stay for the first time and they were amazing with her. From the start to finish the care and attention they gave our girl was truly heart warming. We received lots of photos, videos and updates throughout her stay. She got lots of walks, runs in there amazing backyard and lots of love, pets and cuddles. Ray had so much fun playing with there dog Garth too! He’s an awesome boy! We will definitely be bringing Ray back to stay and play with them soon! 🐾
