Hello furbabies!

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I am a Rover badged, military veteran Pommy Mommy that would love to take care of your babies in my home (or do check-Ins in yours) with my furbabies. For the safety of other animals please understand if I'm not able to host your unneutered/ unspayed/ unvaccinated or has acute medical conditions adult furbaby Those still maturing are okay. My small breed pups play well with all types and sizes of the animal kingdom. I've taken care of cats, fish, and dogs for 20+ years and enjoy animals as a part of the family. Short notice and day care visits (at a reduced cost) requests are welcome if I am able to accommodate. I also watch over small farms. Please keep in mind that the visit MUST be booked in order to reserve it. After you have made arrangements with me, please tell me of a change in plans at your earliest convenience so that I can arrange my life accordingly. I put a lot of effort into prepping for your babies stay with me. ** I am happy to do dog walking/house security after work in the evenings/weekends as well. Due to recent safety reasons, I will not have meet and greets with incomplete profiles. Your babies will be part of the pack here. All animals will adjust. Do not worry, they will be fine, happy, and safe with us. I have a fenced [dog run and deck] and friendly fur babies to keep your fur baby company. Some owners may want to consider a kennel for high anxiety pups as they need extra care and can be destructive in a unfamiliar home. Damages will incur a fee.

It was clear from both the pictures she sent and from the way my animals behaved back home, they were completely at home with Heather. Abigail, my pup, is pretty happy go lucky but my cat, Jasper, tends to be a scaredy-cat at best. Even he opened up to her after a day or so and he reacquainted himself with home when I picked him up much more quickly than in the past.

Information Heather R. would like to know about your pet

Please update profiles to be accurate in dog's weight and demeanor. Destructive pups will be crated or placed in a large pen. Kitties get a private room for their safety. I stay near where the animals sleep and they are allowed to be wherever I am in my home or yard. During good weather, the pups and I go out in the back yard for fresh air. They will have water and shade while we are outdoors plus playtime.

A typical day

The furbabies are part of our daily lives. If you have a shy family member, I have a guest room and office to sit them away from my furbabies since they like to play with everyone. My pups play well with all types and sizes of the animal kingdom. I've taken care of cats, fish, and dogs (7 years) for 20+ years and enjoy animals as a part of the family. Short notice and day visit requests are welcome if I am able to accommodate. Please allow the animals to communicate with each other to set boundaries.
