Loving Care While You’re Away!

Hello, I’m Heather, and I’m thrilled you’re here. I live in the Dover area with my three fur babies—Opie, Rousey (both 10 years old), and our rescue who will be turning 5 this year. Dogs have always been a deep source of joy for me: their loyalty, healing presence, and adventurous spirit inspire everything I do. With over three years of hands-on dog care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable working with puppies through seniors, and I have experience administering medications and pills as needed. I understand that some dogs are anxious, and I approach them with patience, gentle handling, and plenty of time to feel at ease. What I Offer - Loving, one-on-one attention tailored to each dog’s needs - Daily updates and photos so you can see your pup’s day - Care for all ages, from puppies to senior dogs - Medication administration when required - Thoughtful, calm handling for anxious dogs - Safe, home-away-from-home environment I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming your little one into my care. Thank you for trusting me with your cherished family member. Have a blessed day!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were my own. I ensure they’re well-fed, safe, and comfortable, and I love seeing their tails wag and their eyes light up with trust. For peace of mind, I have security cameras around my home to monitor safety and confirm they’re always okay and free from threats.

Thank you Heather! Our first experience with River was a wonderful one thanks to Heather. The TLC to our dogs, the great communication, and attention to all the care details was so appreciated. Heather was awesome!! It was nice to be away and not have to worry one bit. Highly recommend Heather!

Heather was wonderful with our 2 kittens while we were away. She helped keep our minds at ease and our kitties tummies full. We would definitely recommend Heather as she went above and beyond for us! Thank you Heather!

Heather was very attentive and went above and beyond our expectations. She was hired for drop in visits which we expected her to let Zula out in the back yard to go potty and run. Heather instead took her for walks and ensured Zula was entertained and well exercised. Will definitely book Heather again!

Schedule

I currently work a full-time job with a flexible schedule. I’m available after 2:00 PM and in the early mornings. I’m seeking part-time opportunities for dog and cat walking. As a fellow dog mom, I’m passionate about spoiling your precious pets and ensuring they receive attentive, well-planned walks and exceptional care.

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or special concerns, and share any anxieties or shy behaviors I should be aware of. This helps me tailor care and ensure a safe, comfortable experience for your pup.
