Heather was AWESOME! We had to leave our 9 month old puppy for the first time for an entire week. Heather has 2 dogs of her own that helped our puppy feel right at home and kept her distracted with a lot of doggy playtime. Heather was also able to spend time with her in play, as well as cuddling with our puppy when playtime with the big kids wore her out. Heather sent us pictures and updates every day and was quick to answer questions we texted to her while we were gone. Heather's house and yard were clean. Heather herself was personable, accommodating, responsive and reassuring. Our dog had such a great time with Heather that we were honestly concerned that she might not want to come home with us at the end of her stay. Heather was interested and in and willing to help us reinforce some things that we were trying to teach our dog - such as not jumping on people. Our puppy actually came home smarter, more mature and better behaved for having spent time with Heather and her dogs! I give Heather our highest recommendation and look forward to using her again in the future!!
