Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Care. Happy Dogs.
Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with German Shepherds, adopted my own hound mix as soon as I could, and later took in my mom's reactive GSD when her Alzheimer's meant she couldn't care for her anymore. I lost both my dogs in 2024 - they were 15 and 13 - and haven't been ready to restart my pack quite yet. In the meantime, I've been dog sitting to get my canine cuddle fix. I've raised and trained puppies, handled anxious and reactive dogs, and administered all kinds of medications from eye drops to pills to subcutaneous fluids. My dogs survived every emergency you can think of, from spiking eye pressure to a GDV/bloat, until old age finally got them, so it's highly unlikely your dog would have an emergency or issue I wouldn't know how to handle. I'm the person my friends call when their dogs get sick, for pre-vet advice. I'll take great care of your furry kiddos.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My anxious dog warmed up to Heather in minutes and had the best time. Heather was excellent at communication and made us feel at ease leaving our dog in her care!! Would rebook, highly recommend, don’t hesitate.
Heather took great care of our pup and she kept us well informed during his stay. The photos were all great, real keepers. We’ll be returning customers for sure.
My dog was living the dream while with Heather. She took great care of him and gave him good attention and even helped me with a brush to groom him with!
Our dog connected with Heather immediately! It was clear from the photos and messages that our dog was enjoying her time with Heather and extremely comfortable in her home. Heather is personable and professional, and we would book her again to care for our dog.
Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.
She was amazing! I received pictures and updates while our dog was in her care. It made me feel really at ease seeing my dog so relaxed and enjoying her home/property. She was even able to accommodate extending her stay due to our travel being delayed. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be using her services again! Thanks again Heather!

Schedule
I work remotely and am home almost all day, just leaving to run errands, head to a dance class, or visit with friends. Your dog will have nearly 24/7 care, only occasionally left alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live on an acre and a half with a partially fenced-in lawn safe for quick potty breaks. A long leash would be helpful for playing in the yard, and I have plenty of space for your dog's crate to come with them. I live just a short drive from Preddy Creek and would be happy to take more active dogs for hikes to get their energy out (but lazier dogs will be comfy and cozy here, too). I prefer to take care of dogs in my own home, where I have my work set up, but am happy to stop by your place to water plants or pick up mail/packages if needed.
A typical day
First thing in the morning, I'll let your dog out in my fenced-in garden and get your dog fed. The rest of the day depends on your dog's energy level! Senior dogs can snuggle up on the couch or nap in sun patches around the house, and higher-energy dogs can get hikes/long walks or some play time in the backyard.
