Pet care experience

Dog mom with vet care experience

Hello, my name is Heather, and I am an experienced pet caregiver with over 13 years as a devoted dog owner and three years of hands-on experience in veterinary care. Although I have transitioned from the veterinary field, I remain committed to staying informed about the latest practices in pet safety and care. I have successfully trained multiple dogs and have worked with a variety of breeds, including Belgian Malinois and Akitas. My passion for animals drives me to provide exceptional care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet I look after.

Heather and family did a great job making Mena feel welcome! They sent pictures so we were aware of how she was doing. We were very comfortable with her in their home.

Buford loves going to visit! Heather is great with him, sends pictures and videos and makes sure he is well taken care of. We’d highly recommend them to watch your dog.

Buford absolutely loves going to visit. There’s great communication on any concerns and Heather provides a couple photos and videos each day. We’d recommend them to anyone!

Schedule

I currently work full-time at a car dealership; however, my partner works remotely, allowing him to spend the majority of the day at home with the animals. The dogs receive full attention and around the clock care. We have multiple dog beds and water bowls throughout the house and always give your pet a safe space to decompress when in our home. No dog goes outside unattended and everyone is fed separately to assure 100% safety and so your pup doesn’t get into food that may not sit right in their tummies.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets as if they were my own and respect any special instructions you have for them. I am very particular about my own pets so I completely understand if you are particular about yours :)

Pets

A typical day

I am passionate about providing both mental and physical stimulation for dogs through a variety of engaging activities. I enjoy playing mind-stimulating games and introducing scent work to enhance their cognitive abilities. If you have supplies such as KONGs or lick mats, I would be happy to use them to keep your dogs entertained. Additionally, I will throw the ball and engage in other activities until I feel they have had enough exercise. I adhere to daily routines and strive to incorporate the specific types of stimulation your dog enjoys into our schedule, ensuring a fulfilling and enjoyable experience during their stay.

If your dog has any special needs or requires medication, please inform me in advance so that I can ensure their care is tailored to their requirements. Additionally, please note that I have two children who are home 50% of the time. If your dog is not comfortable around children, kindly reach out to me beforehand. In such cases, we may need to consider alternative arrangements, such as drop-in visits instead of boarding, to ensure a safe and stress-free experience for your pet.
