Availability

I'm free all summer and pretty flexible beyond that. I love spending time outdoors (no matter the weather) and getting all my steps in with cute company by my side! My family loves dogs as much as I do, so they all pitch in loving on our cute visitors.

I'm both a human and dog mom. I'll care for your pet like they're my own. At your place, I'll be in and out according to your instructions--your house; your rules! Anything in there other than your pet is not my business--I'll respect your space, no worries. At my place we have a large grassy area out back, a big gated deck for sunning, and sidewalks throughout the neighborhood. We have a variety of gates if any separation is necessary in my house, and your pet can even have the sunny finished basement all to themself if you prefer.

Information Heather P. would like to know about your pet

Please, make sure they’re bathed before drop-off, and let me know what to expect from your pet — all the specifics about what you'd like their time spent with me to look like. It's also good to know ahead of time about any fears or triggers like thunderstorms, bikes, etc. I'm always happy to send you photos and updates :)

A typical day

Walking, brushing, and a zillion toys for pulling, chasing, or chewing; a big sunny deck, and a wide open space behind the house for romping--all good! My husband, grown daughter, and I all enjoy the DOGuests that come to our home, so they would almost never be alone.

I'm super empathetic and treat pets like part of the family--always looking for ways to make sure they are comfortable and content: fed, watered, walked, patted and played with.

Phoebe had a wonderful time staying with Heather. She’s been sleeping all day- the ultimate sign of a fun visit. Heather is a great communicator and sent sweet notes and pics of our pup. I definitely recommend Heather for living care of your fur baby!

This was our second visit with Heather and a longer stay (just over a week). She and her family took excellent care of my boys, with daily updates. It’s always hard to leave my “babies” with someone, but I feel very comfortable with Heather because I know they’re safe and loved. Definitely recommend!

Heather was extremely kind and diligent in taking care of Cinnamon for an entire week while we were out of the country. My husband and I felt completely comfortable leaving our senior dog with her. Heather asked many questions, since Cinnamon is 15 years old. She sent us photos and updates, but not too many, knowing we were on vacation. When we picked Cinnamon up, she was perfectly content staying at Heather's house, so I knew she had been loved and happy. We are so grateful we found Heather because we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Cinnamon was in the best possible hands. A million thanks!

We had another great stary with Heather! My dog loves going to her house and playing with her dog and it's nice knowing she's safe and having fun. Will definitely use again!
