Pet care experience

Rover est 2014. Granby farmer 2020.

Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. I'm a natural pack leader and communicate well with all domesticated animals. Look no further if you want real-time updates, photos, and the assurance that your baby is in the best hands while you're away! My current pups are a 5-year-old, 50 lb male, named Clyde, and a 10-year-old, 80 lb male, named Bernie. They were adopted at the ages of 6 months & 1 year. With a lot of hard work (and many long walks) they have been socialized and turned into well-mannered pooches. I would love the opportunity to help you with your animals! Let me know what you and your pet need and it will be done!

Safety, trust & environment

When your pup stays at my home they will be treated like family. I have a 6.5 acre farm with lots of fenced in areas to roam, so they will get tons of opportunities to stretch their legs. When I am in your home, I will treat it as if it were my own. I will always pick up after myself and am even happy to assist with minor chores as needed.

This is the first time we used Heather to take care of our 13 1/2 year old goldendoodle, Mollie. She was awesome and Mollie loved her. Heather was quick to respond to our text and also sent pictures of her visit with our pup. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

Heather is the best handler we’ve had to date. She caught our attention with the statement “natural pack leader”. Which is what’s needed for our dogs. This told us that she clearly understands K9 behavior and what is needed to take care of our dogs. Her character, personality and skills is the first thing we noticed when she showed up for her meet and greet. And she showed up ready to go to work coming with her own things (leash, toys and treats). Within mins our minds were at ease. The dogs love the time and attention they receive. There is absolutely no issues. Heather is the best. James and Angelique

Heather was great with my 14 year old dog Priscilla. I feel at ease knowing she will be walking her.

Schedule

Generally speaking, I will only accept bookings from a limited number of clients each month to make sure that we (my husband, myself, & our dogs) all get a break. For outcall services my schedule tends to vary a bit from week to week & day to day depending on the weather, my reoccurring client's schedules, & which towns I have appointments in each day. I don't gurantee exact times because of this, but can generally narrow it down to a 1 hour window for my arrival time. For overnight house sitting I do not offer constant care. I have reoccurring walking appointments which will take me away from your home for several hours during the day as well as responsibilities at my own home & farm which must be attended to. My husband works from home & pet sitting is my full-time job, so someone is always here. I do not overlap multiple clients for services in my home. In your home, pets will be treated exactly as they would be if you were there. In my home, pets will be expected to abide by some ground rules. For example, we do not allow dogs to counter surf or to sleep in our bed. We keep gates up on certain rooms & at the bottom of the stairs for everybody's safety.

How long have you had them? How do they interact with other dogs? What are their quirks or their fears? What do they do on a typical day? Are they house trained/kennel trained? -We do kennel if we have to leave the pups unsupervised for any reason. If your dog will be staying overnight, we ask that you bring their kennel with you. Are they up to date on all vaccinations? -We ask that you provide us with a copy of their most recent vaccinations before any stays at our home. *Meet-and-Greets before a new client's first stay are important to our pack dynamic. Because of this, it is unlikely that we will accept last-minute requests from new clients. **Because of the high volume of requests that we receive, I may not respond to messages from owners that are outside of my service area or to owners who have not fully completed their Rover profile.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
