Your dog will feel right at home!

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME + MY FAMILY: Hey there! I'm Heather and I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to loving and caring for pets of all sorts! I am a homeschool mom and homemaker; married with two children (ages 6 and 9) and our two dogs —my home is a vibrant space! MY HOME: Your pup will find a warm welcome here, with someone around most of the time to provide companionship and ease any anxiety. In my home, your dog can expect couch snuggles, backyard playtime, and the occasional math lesson (promise not to make it too dull!). I believe in making your dog's stay as comfortable as possible. MEET-AND-GREET: A meet-and-greet is a must to ensure a good fit for your family and my own. There is no charge, so please feel free to message me to request one along with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and making your dog's stay a tail-wagging experience!

I was nervous about leaving Bailey with anyone because we had never done this before but Heather welcomed Bailey into her home and family with open arms. She, her pups, and her family made Bailey feel right at home and loved. She took very good care of Bailey and is great with communicating not only with photos but she's very fast in getting back with you. Bailey had a blast!! I highly recommend Heather and will definitely book her again.

Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.

Heather is super responsive and takes your pet’s needs seriously. My pup is sweet but has some anxiety issues—Heather thoughtfully supported all of his needs while providing lots of pictures and updates to ease my mind while he was under her care. Highly recommended… will definitely be booking again!

Safety, trust & environment

MEALS: Your pet's safety is my top priority. Pets are always separated during meal times with the many baby gates I have installed. Our typical schedule is twice-a-day feedings, but let me know if your pup has other requirements. PLAYTIME: I have your pet's backyard haven! I'm delighted to offer your furry friend a large and secure fenced-in backyard—a perfect playground for fun and frolic. I've got a collection of balls and frisbees galore. I am always outside with the dogs during playtime and supervising in some manner during potty breaks. BEDTIME: If your dog has a preference for bedtime arrangements, let me know, and I'll make any necessary accommodations.

Information Heather N. would like to know about your pet

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW: Please share a bit about your pet's behavior with other pets and children. My home is a bustling space with both! If there's anything specific about their preferences, habits, or quirks, please let me know. Lastly, I'd love to know your dog's typical schedule—when they eat, any medication needs, preferred potty break times, and if there are any known allergies.

A typical day

TYPICAL DAY: In my home, your pet will receive the companionship and warmth that comes from being surrounded by a family environment instead of a kennel. I have a spacious home with plenty of indoor space to relax, hang out, or do "zoomies." Our fenced-in backyard is a play haven, and they'll have the added joy of making new friends—my two dogs are always ready for playtime adventures!
