Pet care experience
Animal lover who wants to help you!
I've had a family dog my whole life. I joined the Army in 2009 and after getting injured in Afghanistan, when I got back to the states, I adopted my first dog in 2012 on my own, a beagle named Bubba, who became my PTSD service dog. After being medically discharged in 2014, I moved back to NY state. In 2015, I adopted my beagle mix Bailey, who was a handful to train as her past was riddled with unfortunate events. However, she is now a social butterfly and loves everything and everyone. In 2016, I adopted my third dog, Harlow, a Bluetick Coonhound. So I have 3 hounds and I like to think that I'm very good at taking care of dogs and animals. I regularly bathe, walk, and feed animals for family and friends when they need a sitter. I'm very patient (thank you US Army) and always give the utmost care to whatever task I am given. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible. I am unable to stay at anyone's house or board animals, as I do have my own 3 (though I have an amazing partner and he takes care of our pups also). I can easily follow specific directions you have for your pets needs, such as crating, potty break times, play/walking and will treat your pets/home as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
Heather did an amazing job with my dog. Highly recommend choosing her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

We could not have asked for a more conscientious, devoted pet sitter. Heather was here every day, fed, watered and checked on our cat. She went above and beyond and even sent us photos of our cat. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet to give the utmost care.
