Pet care experience

I have many years of experience as both a pet owner and a foster for dogs. I also have a roommate who is home a lot in the fall/winter months who also REALLY loves dogs so your dog/dogs will get tons of attention! My experience as a foster mom has exposed me to all types and personalities of dogs so nothing really phases me, and I have a long list of questions I will ask you to be sure that your dog is extremely comfortable in my home. I have two teenagers who will also be there to play with, exercise, and love on your dog. I have one female spayed dog, Denali, who gets along with other dogs, and two fixed male cats (so please let’s discuss your dog’s experience with cats!) We have great trails right behind our house for wonderful walks and I live not far from the Klatt dog park, so I often go down for socializing, too, with your permission of course! **Please note I am unable for last minute sits as it does not allow enough time for a meet and greet with my animals.**

Heather took fantastic care of my large, high energy dog. She got him out for multiple walks and had other dogs for him to play with! She is very kind, friendly, and easygoing. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!!

Heather took amazing care of our dog Clarabelle, again. She takes her on multiple walks a day and sends photo updates. Clarabelle can be anxious when we're gone and not eat as much, but with Heather she is happy and relaxed and eats all of her food. We highly recommend Heather!

Heather was a perfect “sitter” for our pups. She kept us up-to-date on their condition and helped calm them when the bears and moose were around. We will definitely request her to take care of our dogs again.
