Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Exotic, Farm, and Pet
Hello! My name is Heather. I'm a 30 year old Boone local. I have 10 years of paid experience as a pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, horses, cattle, chickens, and ducks through ownership over the years. I have professional experience working at a dog kennel for 7 years. I have worked with special needs animals including diabetic, handicapped and elderly as well as newborn animals. I have a home with 40 acres of creekside land so I can offer boarding services for all dog breeds and provide plenty of interesting hiking, swimming and playing if your pet stays with me.

Ratings and reviews
Heather took great care of our Sheila, who appeared to really enjoy her time at the farm. Her home was a great place for Sheila to have fun and relax with other animals and caring people. She will be back anytime we have to travel without her. Thanks!
Heather accommodated us very last minute! We are so grateful and our dog had the best time playing with her dog. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
Heather is such a fabulous sitter for our pets! They always have a great time and are well cared for while we are away. Highly recommend!
I don’t think Atlas missed us at all!! Heather was great to work with and she was very flexible which helped us out!
Heather was so sweet and loving to our little Molly! She helped Molly relax on her first time away from us. She’s great!

I work away from home two days a week and I am home otherwise, except during my personal activities of course, so I have room for flexability and lots of time spent with your pet!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer in home pet care and boarding. For those wanting to board, I provide a safe environment with lots of room. I have house with a large amount of land and safe places to walk and play. I have room and experience with safely isolating your pet if there are issues with aggression or if you aren't comfortable with your pet being around other pets. Potty breaks are provided every 3-4 hours for dogs and longer walks or play outdoors at least once a day weather permitting. I am well versed on pairing dogs for play based on temperament and other measures relating to age and physical traits. I have experience handling separation anxiety and other behavioral or complicated health issues, including those needing injections or oral medication.

- I need to know the house training status of a dog, if there are any issues with aggression or any special circumstances such as health problems. I can work with any of these issues, I just need to be aware of them ahead of time so I can make accommodations. Please make me aware if your dog is not spayed or neutered and the status of her cycle if she is female. For boarding, I also prefer that the dog be crate trained for safety purposes.
