As a retired dog trainer and behaviorist, I can safely watch all types of dogs. Big, small, sweet, or sassy & spicy. From working dogs to fearful and aggressive dogs, I watch them all while keeping everyone separate and safe. I have at my home several fenced areas for play and potty time, kennels, and a climate-controlled facility building all that is monitored 24/7 with security cameras. Dogs get rotated to spend time inside my home and also in my facility, fenced play yards, and kennels. Your dog(s) will be given time and attention throughout the day including feedings, walking, playtime, and lounging around visiting. With me, your dog(s) will be treated like part of the family. I absolutely love and understand dogs and I love what I do!!!!! Although I have retired from training dogs, I am fully capable of providing the utmost care for your dogs and properly handling any issues that could arise while boarding them. My many years of dog training include basic obedience, socialization, search & rescue, and working K-9s. This includes scent work, bite/protection work, recall, etc. As a behaviorist, I have worked for many years fixing dog issues such as aggression, food/dog/cat aggression, fears, and anxiety. I always ask how you want your dog cared for ans what works best for your dog. I don't mix dogs that don't know one another for safety reasons unless you request your dog have social time with my personal dogs and only at your request and comfort as well as the dogs comfort level . My dogs are very well obedience trained social and stable pack structure with zero dog aggression or reactivity. With that being said tho I want tour dog to be comfortable so I always read the dogs body language and also allow them time to get used to me and my place and dogs very slowly . But if you rather your dog not have contact with other dogs or don't request is specifically for safety reasons we do individual walks and play and potty times . Your dogs Safety and happiness and comfortability is my first priority always !!!! I have plenty of space to care for your dogs individual needs a d keep separate and happy if you don't want them around dogs or kids or people they don't know . I look forward to caring for your dog and building a relationship with you both as your trusted dog sitter 🐾

Heather was great, our doggos had fun and we were sent videos daily! It was much nicer for our dogs to be with Heather and in her home than a clinical type setting of boarding them with the veterinarian clinic. We will definitely use Heather again!

Heather was great with my boys. She sent me videos and updates was very good with responding to my messages. Her property is fenced and there were different areas for the dogs. They were happy with Heather, I most definitely would use her again. Thank you Heather.
