Pet care experience
Whether it’s pet sitting or dog walking or simply giving an animal some company, I’m your gal. I’ve spent my whole life taking care of countless types of pets: dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, snakes, frogs, and hermit crabs (all personally owned by me & my family) ! I’ve dog sat and walked for friends abroad and in America, up to three medium dogs at a time. Most of my experience is with medium to small dogs (around 30 lbs) and puppies under a year old. I’ve had to give dogs medication (pill form) before as well. I genuinely love playing with and caring for dogs. I once watched my friends dog for a week and I walked him so often ( he always wanted to go and I was on summer break) that his owner noticed he was slimmer and more energetic when they came home! I’ll take them to the beach, the reservoir, the park! Wherever! I am also more than glad to take adorable pictures to send to you if you’d like :) I currently own a cat, so I understand how those little personalities can vary! From friendly to fearsome, I can provide food and companionship to all. Covid Precautions: I understand we live in strange times in which we must try our best for the wellness of others. I spend my whole work day wearing a mask and washing my hands all the time, so I’ve got absolutely no problem taking any precautions you’d prefer when caring for your pet. I can wear a mask while I care for your pets, wash my hands upon entering your home, and spend as much time in your home / outside with your pet as desired. I am also fully vaccinated. Please let me know if you have any preferences for covid-specific care.
Reviews
Heather was awesome. Our little Reese loved her the minute Heather came in. We will definitely be calling Heather for future sittings.
Heather accommodated us on short notice and did an awesome job taking care of our 2 boys. She provided frequent updates and was very transparent. Will definitely use her again!
Heather is reliable, caring, and a great house sitter!
We used Heather for the first time this past weekend. She was terrific and took great care of our dogs (we have two). She was even able to befriend our skittish rescue dog Maya who is afraid of new people and Heather was able to attached a leash and walk Maya which most of our prior dog sitters were not able to do. Would highly recommend Heather!!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are incredibly important when caring for animals. I always start by asking you what needs your pet has - are they afraid of thunderstorms? Do they need a snack after dinner? Are they too old to go down the stairs anymore? What can I do to best care for your pet. Whether I am just taking them on a walk or staying for the week, I make sure to send pictures and updated on your pets experience with me! I want you, and your pet, to know I’ve got them covered!
Information Heather N. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds! If your dog has a special personality that needs attention please let me know! No puppy is quite the same and I am glad to take care of your lil pal as you see fit.
A typical day
I can drive them to the beach and the reservoir and the dog park! I love being outside! If your dog enjoys runs I can bring them along for my runs (with breaks too of course our fur buddies don’t run quite like us).

Availability
I do have a full time job operating Sunday - Wednesday. While I can sometimes offer flexibility those days, typically I’ll be available evenings or early mornings. Thursday - Saturday I’m fully available to walk, feed, pet, and befriend your pets!
