Lots of experience and love!

Pet care experience

I am a certified veterinary technician with a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science and Technology and have grown up training my own animals (although I am not a professional trainer). I spend lots of time with every animal I care for and have been offering house and pet-sitting services to friends and neighbors since I was 9. You can rest easy knowing that I have experienced a wide variety of situations and that I can also handle medical emergencies well with my training in the veterinary field.

Safety, trust & environment

I have grown up with large dogs and horses and have had years of clinical experience with them, so I am very confident in my ability to handle your pup no matter what size they are. If you're here for a cat don't worry! I grew up with what we called our cat herd and was known as the cat whisperer at a few clinics I've worked at. I am a big fan of enrichment and would love to know what your pets' favorite toys are to keep them happy. I also know how important it is to exercise pups to keep them healthy so if they have a walking schedule, or something similar, let me know so I can help keep them moving! Although I am unable to stay overnight, I still make sure to spend plenty of quality time with your fur babies.

Information Heather R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets get any medications and when to give them. It is also important to tell me if your dog has any triggers or issues with resource guarding etc. so I can keep all pets in the house safe and as happy as possible.

A typical day

I will of course take care of any scheduled feedings and usually take dogs out every 4 hours but if your pup needs something else I am happy to accommodate. I think it is important to customize the care to the dog so let me know what they like! Whether it's playing fetch for hours or cuddling on the couch to watch TV, my job (and passion) is providing what your pet needs as an individual.

I usually have a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pet's needs at whatever time you prefer. I like to meet up with you and your animal before I take over and can work with you easily to make it a convenient day and time. I cannot currently stay away from home overnight due to having a new puppy to care for but can do a late evening and early morning check-in if that is what you prefer.
