The Reliable Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have taken care of my own dog and other dogs in my family since I was 10. I have dog sat for extended periods of time, as well as short visits for friends and family. I trained my dog myself as a ten year old, as well as my brother’s dog in my 20’s. Not only basic commands, but fun tricks as well! I have worked with pets at the pet store I worked at as a teen and currently volunteer at a cat shelter. I also take care of my three cats at home and watch my brother’s dog frequently with his busy work schedule. I have not had to provide injectable medications in a few years, but am happy to learn it for your individual pet’s needs. I am no stranger to liquid medications for my cats.
Reviews
Once again, Heather took excellent care of my Diamond as a last minute request! She was punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond! Truly showed my baby love while I had to be gone for a while!
I can’t say enough good things about Heather—super reliable, punctual, and accommodating! I had a family emergency happen and Heather agreed to watch my dog at the last minute! She has taken very good care of my dog and has went above and beyond! If you’re on the fence about having her take care of your dog, have no worries— your pet is in wonderful hands!
Heather is amazing! My pup was really hesitant about interacting with someone he didn’t know and Heather was so patient and gentle with him. Fast forward to two weeks later and he is excited to see her, does tricks for her and gives her kisses! Thank you, Heather, for the incredible care of our little man!
Heather was extremely reliable and a great sitter as always.

Safety, trust & environment
I have 3 cats at home. Your pets safety and well being is treated as a top priority with me. I have been obsessed with any and all pets since early childhood and they have such a warm place in my heart. I have cared for pets with special diets, supplements/meds, specific walk schedules and the triggers they may encounter on said walks. No task is too tall of an order for me! Your pets needs come before my own and will be treated with the utmost gentle care.
Information Heather R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or certain triggers I need to look out for on walks or around other people/dogs. I want to make sure all of your pet’s needs are satisfied.
A typical day
I love to make sure each dog is provided for physically and mentally, whether that be with exercise at a local dog park, catching new smells in the neighborhood or working on fun new tricks/reward puzzles.
