Heather is an amazing sitter, I felt comfortable when I was away knowing that my pup was well taken care of and he also had a couple of doggy friends at hers to play with. She is very kind, communicative and kept me updated with lots of pictures. 100% recommend!

This was the first time we had left Rex with any one other than family or friends. It turned out so great! We enjoyed our trip knowing Rex was being cared for so well. It was like Rex was part of the family. Heather has two of her own dogs so Rex had a new pack to join. I was so pleased with his care that I am planning to set up a monthly play date for Rex with Heather. Thanks Heather!

Heather is truly a natural with dogs! Her extensive knowledge and deep love for animals, especially dog, shine through in everything she does. Not only does she cuddle and care for my pups, but she also takes the time to walk, play, and even work on training with them. Heather is well versed in understanding allergies, sensitivities, anxiety and has years of experience with rescue dogs. What I appreciate most is her thoughtful updates and photo check-ins, which always ease my anxiety when I’m away. It’s clear that she treats my dogs like her own, and that kind of trust is rare. Heather is one of the very few people I fully trust with my little ones. I can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

To me, the most important part of taking care of someone's pet is to follow the rules and preferences of the owner. I always try my best to accommodate any needs or quirks. I have a very big fenced-in backyard that connects to my grandmother's place next door, who loves to give treats and pets!

Pets

A typical day

My main goal is to make sure there is a balance of mental stimulation, physical exercise and rest. Every dog has different needs so I try my best to fulfill it. I want to make every day your pet is staying with me the best.
