Pet Care Extraordinaire

I have been caring for pets for about ten years. Growing up, I had a dog named Atticus Finch, a rooster named Uncle Ben, and a guinea pig named Peanut Butter and Jelly. So not only am I wonderful with animals I know the heavy responsibility that comes with taking care of their emotional, physical, and social needs as a pet owner and also as a professional dog walker. I will not only ensure that their basic needs will be met. I will also be in constant communication with you through text and email reassuring you that your beloved pet is in the absolute best hands. I will keep you updated on how our walks were and send you plenty of pictures of their cute FLUFFY faces.

Heather is mega organized, meticulous and really good with pets. Our cat, usually shy and cautious, has remembered her since previous visit and came out to play!

This was the first time my partner and I left my cat alone for so long and having Heather take care of him gave me such peace of mind. Heather was communicative and a true professional. She sent written updates and Les of photos and videos every time she visited him. She played with him and brushed him and kept him such good company. She even vacuumed my house she watered my plants. Our cat was as safe, healthy, and happy in Heather’s capable and loving hands. I would definitely book her again.

So grateful to have found Heather! She consistently accommodates my last-minute requests and provides professional, loving care for Poppy. I receive regular updates, can truly relax knowing Poppy is in great hands, and always come home to a happy pup. Poppy can be a bit of a handful, but Heather’s experience and calm approach are evident. I’ve used her several times over the past few months and would highly recommend her for both dog sitting and walking.

Heather is soooooo nice to my cat Shawn, she played with Shawn and cleaned everything, and she threw away the litter and helped us close the windows. I'll definitely ask her for another help in the future!!!

Before booking any new clients I insist on having a meet and greet first. So I'm able to discern for myself the type of temperament my potential paw client has and from there. I would ask if they have any food or skin allergies. I would also inquire about their families history and their triggers. I would then leave space for my client to disclose whatever she or he was comfortable with regarding their dogs care.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
