Vet Student with LOTS of Experience

Pet care experience

When Fido can't tag along on your vacation, put your loved one into my loving and capable hands! I am available for overnight stays, home visits, and walking. Dogs of all sizes and ages welcome! Hey, my name is Heather! I am a veterinary technician and I have been working in pet care for nearly 10 years now. My passion for animals is the reason I am studying to become a veterinarian. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover ALL MY LIFE! When I was little, my parents would take me to parties at their friends' homes. When it was time to go home and they were looking for me they always knew to look for their friend's dog. They would always find me by Fido's side! I am so passionate about my love for animals that I know it is something I want to do all of my life! I want to become a veterinarian and work with animals on an international scale. My experience administering medication I am a veterinary technician trained to handle medical cases and to administer any medications your pet might need during the stay.

Extremely disappointed in Heather’s service. I would not trust her again to walk my dog and I would not give her keys to my house. We hired her to give our dog 4 hour long walks. The first time she didn’t show up (even though she texted to say she stayed for an hour), the second time she stayed for 30 minutes, the third time she stayed for 4 minutes, and the fourth time she stayed for 52 minutes. We have a camera on our doorbell and can tell when someone approaches our door. We talked to her when we requested our key back and she said she would give us a refund for the first and third visits. A few weeks have passed and we have not received the refund and Heather is no longer responding to my messages. I’ve now contacted Rover to resolve the issue. We remained civil throughout our communications, since we were concerned about her having a key to our house.

Heather is just hands down awesome! She shows so much care and concern for our dog. Leaving us information and updates about him on their walk. Her care and compassion for animals shows and we are so grateful for to be taking care of our dog and other fur babies. Highly recommend her! We rest easy knowing she shows up and is reliable and trustworthy!

Heather did a great job walking out 100+ lbs dog that sometimes has impulse control issues. We will use her to care for our four babies as long as she’s willing.

Heather did a great job taking care of our two dogs. She stayed in our home and took good care of the hours, the yard, collecting mail, etc. Our senior dog has significant medical issues, and Heather's veterinary tech experience was very helpful. She could monitor her condition, give her meds, and kept us informed of how she was doing. We felt very much reassured that our dogs were being well taken care of, got lots of attention, and they both looked happy in the pictures she sent us. We will definitely use her services again.
