Highlights
Pet care experience
I say hi to dogs before humans :P
I have had my own dogs for 10 years. In that time I have fostered around a dozen other dogs and successfully rehomed most of them (had one "foster fail" lol). I spend a lot of time at the dog park and am known by all my friends to stop and pet any dog I see in public and will go out of my way to do so :) I also am a member of a group that helps transport foster doggos to their new furrever homes. I have also helped raise 3 females for a corgi breeder I am friends with. I have had kitties my entire life. The two I have now are super sweet but I think additional cats in the house would be hard for them :(

Ratings and reviews
Heather did a great job of looking after our blind, diabetic dog. She was able to give her insulin injection without any problems and no issue with her special feeding schedule. Our dog enjoyed being around heathers dogs. She communicated with us if she had any questions or concerns.

Schedule
I am currently working all kinds of odd jobs so I have time to dedicate to whatever needs a dog family may have. I am happy to schedule other work around pet needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When dogs are in my home I would make sure they could be outside or inside, as they wished. We often leave our back door open on nice days so the pups can go in and out. We also take frequent walks around town. If i was house sitting I would make sure to be with the dogs as often as they are used to from their owners. In either scenario pups would receive their regular walks and would be loved and doted on. I am happy to arrange video chats with owners so they can check in on their pup while they are away.

A typical day
Depending on the pup we can go to blue mountain, jacobs island, or raillink park. If your pup needs walks away from others i have several hiking spots i frequent that are not used by many people. I have a dog that loves to swim so sometimes we take a day trip to a lake. when we are home the pups get occasional healthy treats and there are lots of toys to play with, inside and out.
