Dog's Best Friend
I have been a dog mom my whole life, and I love dogs more than people. I provide dog boarding, doggy daycare, and dog walking services in the Scottsdale / Phoenix area of Arizona. I live in an apartment with an open grassy area outside which the dogs love for sniffing and going potty. I live alone with no children or roommate other than my dog Zeke. I stay at home full-time with my dogs, so they have my undivided attention. I usually only keep 1-2 Rover dogs at a time in my home, so they will get all the attention they need. I believe that most dogs will improve their behavior, if they grow to trust you and understand what you expect. My petsitting philosophy is that dogs should be rewarded for good behavior with treats and attention. They should receive consistent feedback about their behaviors that are not acceptable, so they can modify their behaviors. Most dogs do not fully understand which behaviors are good or bad according to their care takers due to inconsistent feedback. Having someone like me to lovingly guide and support them during their most stressful times can help them reach their full potentials!

Ratings and reviews
Super attentive and responsive. Great experience!
Heather did a great job looking after my cat! I was gone for 3 weeks so this was no easy task, the the updates and photos heather sent throughout my trip made me feel at ease that my cat was in good hands.
Really appreciate Heather's flexibility.
Lots of love and attention. Detailed about my Frenchies needs. Kept informed with photos daily. Added treats was sweet. Appreciate accommodating short notice. Will definitely book again.
Heather came through again for me. My dogs love her. She takes such good care of them. She is so prompt and professional.
Heather was absolutely wonderful !!! I had never used Rover before but needed last minute coverage for 4th of July weekend. Heather was reliable and detailed with the booking process and instructions. My dog is still young and high energy, but she handled him with care and love each visit. Also, I love that she sends so many pictures from each drop in, so many cute moments !!! I would definitely recommend and be booking with her again.

Schedule
Spots are limited! I keep up to 2 or 3 dogs in my home plus my dog Zeke. I am working part-time and am very selective about the dogs I keep. They must be fully potty trained, spayed/neutored, independent, low energy, friendly with all dogs, and quiet. They do go out every 4 hours when I work. I do not keep cats or certain dog breeds, such as Pit Bulls, Huskies, and Catahoulas, in my home but can do dropins if they are friendly and non-aggressive.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a private home with no children, roommates or family members, and I have a grassy unfenced yard, so there is plenty of space to share!
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with potty time outside followed by breakfast and a longer walk. The dogs are allowed to get on the sofa with me, so they feel totally comfortable. Working from home, I adjust my schedule based on the dogs' needs: The dogs go out 1-2 times or more in the afternoon and eat dinner around 5 or 6. They go for about 3 walks in the evenings and go to bed when I do. They can sleep anywhere they like on the bed, couch, or floor.
