Home Away from Home

If your dog is mellow and likes to hang out at home or a hyper active dog that needs to be out and about I can crater to their needs. I am up for hikes up in the mountains, strolling around town, and or staying home. I currently have an Australian shepherd who goes with me almost everywhere. I do rover full time so we are out and about doing many walks around the town, so your dog will get lots of attention and care. We like to go on hikes on the weekends and walks around the towns/parks during the week. I'll try to make your dog the most comfortable being away from home by trying to stick to their regular routine. We need to have house broken dogs but if an accident occur in the home it's not the end of the world. Dogs are welcome all around the home and can rest wherever they like. My girl does well with all sizes from small to big breeds. I like to do meet and greets with all new clients prior to any stay to make sure our dogs will get along to keep a peaceful and friendly environment. Please do not to message me last minute if you are a new client. It's very important to me to see our dogs interactions before I book any stay. Dogs are family here and will be treated as such. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs 😊 During the week I like to do early am walks before the heat starts, quick afternoon potty break walk, and a longer walk for the evening. I do have regular scheduled walks through out the day so rovers staying with me will also be joining us on our walks. I also like to go to the park to throw the frisbee to allow the dogs to run around. Weekends are more for hiking or going to the beach. I do rover full time so dogs will get lots of attention and care. I live in an apartment so we go out a at minimum between 3 to 4 times a day for potty breaks and some exercise. Longer walks are for early am and evening walks to avoid CA afternoon heat.

Heather is a lifesaver! Our dog loves her and her dog. She’s so quick with communication and helped our family so much while my husband was in the hospital. Thank you Heather!

Heather has been our Dogsitter for many years. She’s always my first choice. I feel completely comfortable that my dog will receive the best care from Heather. She is responsive to booking requests and questions and regularly shares updates with us when our dog is in her care.

A typical day

I love to go hiking up in the mountains. There are many trails near my home and it just feels good to be outdoors. I also love going to the dog beach in summer and venturing up the snowy mts in winter. I am a pretty active gal and my girl Billie Jean and I love to see what the world has to offer.
