Ready to pamper your pet!

Pet care experience

I am a single mother of 3 and dog mommy to three. I also have 2 cats. I have been a professional groomer for 13 years and have a passion for all breeds of dogs! I was trained at a corporate pet store and have worked under a master groomer in the past. I will pamper your pooch like they were one of my own. I also have lots of experience with cats, both from personal ownership and from a grooming aspect. Upon request, I can perform basic grooming care such as nail trimming, ear cleaning, brushing and bathing at an additional charge for both cats and dogs. I hope you will let me take great care of pet when you are not able to.

Not satisfied by any means. I was not allowed into the home to see where my family's pet, Denim, would be staying during the time in which I had to leave town. It was not until the second day that recieved any update on how Denim was doing. I was told by her son upon pick up that Denim slept in the bed with him during her stay, not in the crate that I left with Heather to be used during her stay. Upon getting home, I discovered Denim's crate was damaged in multiple places. I sent pictures and videos to Heather asking about the damage because it was not explained at pickup (nor was she present at the drop off or pick up) that any damage was done. Heather is unwilling to take any accountability nor do anything to rectify this matter despite the crate no longer being able to function because it no longer locks and is bent at the door opening, stating it was not her fault and no other dog caused the damage despite the fact that there was another pittbull present in the pictures that were sent to me in the update. I have used this same crate with several other sitters in the past and never had an issue. I have used Rover.com for years and never experienced the sitter being absent at pick up and drop off, Denim panting for water as soon as I laid eyes on her until getting home to hydrate her, or anything property being damaged. Very unsatisfied.

I was completely satisfied with Heather, I could tell how well my pup was taken care of. Heather really cares for dogs, she was very pleasant to deal with.
