I am the Mary Poppins for dogs!

Pet care experience

I follow instructions to a T. I will give your baby the correct food, treats, amount of exercise, and an abundance of hugs and kisses. Playtime is a must if your dog stays over with me. I have had 15 years of experience taking care of my oldest dog, Bailey, and my current dog of 7 years, Vixey. I provide a loving environment and always make sure to treat animals just like family. I know how to handle both small dogs and big dogs. I have taken care of Pomeranians, Papillons, Pit Bulls, Black Labs, Australian Shepherds, etc. I know how to adjust to their needs and their daily exercise routines. I always have fun spending time with these lovely fur babies. They give me absolute joy to be around. I also used to work as a receptionist/vet assistant at an emergency animal hospital. I know how to address and handle emergency situations with animals in a calm, efficient manner.

Safety, trust & environment

I leave my clients home the same if not better than they leave it. I respect house rules and will be VERY transparent about what is happening during my time with your fur baby. I have heard about many bad experiences that my clients have had in the past with different sitters. Trust is huge to me, and I make it a point for my client to always know what is going on.

Information Heather P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how well your dog gets along with other dogs. My dog is very friendly but timid at first especially with particularly rambunctious pups. If your dog is uncomfortable with this, just let me know! Small breeds are preferable since I live in a small apartment. But I can take some medium breeds like spaniels. If your dog is not house trained, that is perfectly fine since I have hardwood floors. So messes are easy to clean.

A typical day

I live around dog parks, walking tracks, and dog beaches. I love to just let loose and have fun with dogs. If I have them panting from excitement and absolutely tired and smiling at the end of the day, I know I have done my job right.

Availability

I’m currently working at Disneyland, so my schedule can vary from time to time. But typically, most days I work in the morning. I’m available for early afternoon/evening dog walks. I’m also interested in house sitting only around the Anaheim area so that my work would be close by and I won’t be in traffic more than with your pup!!
