Pet care experience

I love dogs! And I work from home!

I have owned two wonderful sibling labs from puppy age up until their sweet old age of almost 15. My dogs passed away a few years ago and I miss the companionship of a dog/s. I work from home and would love to keep your friend company. I have 10 acres (not fenced) and have lots of wildlife smells for your pup to enjoy! I will always leash walk your dog (since I do not have a fenced yard) and will safely walk them all around our property so they can smell all the good nature smells! I can take them out for as many potty breaks as needed and I am willing to provide lots of belly rubs! I have two cats in the house so your dog will need to be okay with felines. I also have an indoor bunny that is in a fenced off area. It’s fine with me if your pet is large or small.... I love them all! When your dog is in my care I only watch one dog at a time. I want to give your dog all of my attention and make sure they feel comfortable while staying here!

Heather was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and gave regular updates. After a week, my dog had clearly bonded with her so I will definitely look to use her in the future.

Oscar is now a regular with Heather and I couldn't leave him in better hands. She clearly dotes on him and he loves going to stay.
