Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Heather. I grew up with a Siberian Husky, two Alaskan Malamutes, and a Welsh Corgi. Yes, it was a packed house! Last April, my nine-year-old Shiba Inu passed away. I wanted to be around other dogs again, and I thought walking and pet sitting would be a perfect opportunity. I will not be providing dog sitting services in my home, but I am available for drop-ins and overnights at your residence. I'm an extremely active person, and I’m not afraid to walk or play a few minutes extra with your pooch. I'm very attentive, even when it comes to something as simple as crossing the street. I’m also outgoing, enthusiastic, and perceptive. I’m excellent at assessing a situation, multitasking, and handling stressful situations. I work from home and part-time at a rock gym, so my schedule is very flexible. I am extremely reliable. Whether it’s the first time I walk your dog or a continuous pet sitting relationship, you can count on me. I’m always on time and believe that communication is key to providing top-notch customer service.
Reviews
Heather is a genuinely caring and conscientious person who loves animals. She is completely reliable and trustworthy and always goes the extra mile to ensure your dogs are well taken care of. I would recommend her with no reservations to anyone in need of assistance with their pets.
I have been friends with Heather for almost ten years now. She is determined and a hard worker. She is also kind and compassionate. I have seen what a fabulous fur-mama she was to her dog Kenji. She loved to take him out on hikes, nature walks, to the beach, to the snow, and so on! I know that Heather will be wonderful to her clients and their pets.
I can't say enough great things about Heather - she is incredibly caring and responsible. Friendly, attentive, reliable, and respectful of others and their needs, she is a great choice to care for your beloved dog.
Heather was an amazing dog parent to our Shiba Inu. We lined out the rules that we wanted our dog to follow and she worked to grow our dog to be one of the most well behaved dogs. She knows how to work with and train a dog while giving proper affection and corrections when needed. Her love for dogs shows by the smile on her face every time one comes to greet her. Heather has worked a customer service job for a number of years and always goes above an beyond to please the customer. She looks for new ways to make the customer happy that others would just stick with the regular routine. She has always been reliable, given increasing responsibility at each job due to her dedication. Whether a daily walk, or in home pet sitter Heather will be there to ensure your pet is most importantly safe but also properly exercised, and loved.

Information Heather M. would like to know about your pet
I want to know all the little details or things that might make a difference in caring for your pet. Please tell me about their allergies, favorite treats, likes, dislikes, vaccination status, special training, etc.
A typical day
I feel like the first meeting with a pooch is crucial. I make sure to not scare the dog with any sudden movements or by using a high-pitched voice. I like to just be casual and let them smell and greet me in their own way. Portland is such a dog-friendly city with plenty of walkable streets and parks in every neighborhood. We’ll find some great spots to explore during our time together. I am very attentive and detail-oriented. I understand that people have a way of doing things that is unique to them, and I have no problem catering to that. My experience with animals over the years has made me a compassionate pet sitter. With my flexible schedule, I won’t have any trouble providing focused canine care. I'd love to meet you and your furry one!
