Perfect Pooch Care

Pet care experience

Hi, would your pup like to have a knowledgeable and loving caretaker while you're away?!? If so, I'm your sitter. I use Rover for my furry children, while I'm on vacation, and have had great success. I have a BS in Animal Science from the University of Maryland and my MS in Laboratory Animal Science from Eastern Virginia Medical School. My full-time position is managing a Neuroscience lab at the University of Texas at Austin. I live in an house (fenced in backyard included) with Sherman, Quebert and Ido, my 4 legged companions. Sherman is submissive and does well with other dogs. Quebert is large, very large, and just wants to play. Ido (the cat) isn't so sure as to whether she identifies as a feline or canine. So if you would like your buddy to be ours while you are way, they are more than welcome. I am also free to come take care of your pup at home, if you would rather them stay in their home environment. I am comfortable giving oral and SQ medications and have experience doing so from previous work in animal hospitals and labs. Sherman, Quebert and Ido are "people-food" free. Feel free to ask any questions you deem necessary. We are open books and love to get to know our clients!

Heather did a great job watching our cats for us while we were out of town!

Heather did a great job keeping us updated and sticking to the plan initially discussed. She was easy to work with and we will certainly look to use her again if we need another Rover in the future!

This was our first time using Heather. We were very pleased with the ease of making arrangements and with the feedback on Casey:-)

Olivia had a terrific time with Heather and her dog Sherman. I got fun pictures every day, and Olivia hated to leave. She's looking forward to her next stay!

The backyard at my home is large and fenced in, great for romps and fetching. I have a mile loop that Sherman and I walk. It includes neighborhood roads and does not include major streets.
