Home full time!

Hi! My name is Heather and I LOVE dogs and have been told by past clients they love me too! I have a deep connection with each and every dog I care for. I'm also home full time ( other than getting my kids at school) to spend time and play with them. We adopted a small beagle mix puppy a couple years ago, and she's very friendly and loves to play! I am willing to work with many different types of dogs and lengths of stays. The only thing I ask is that they are up to date on shots and flea medication, as well as being good with children. I truly love animals and I'm looking forward to having the additional company. Let me help you find a home away from home today!

Boarding • Nov 26, 2025

The only reason I’m not leaving 5 stars for Heather is because an already scheduled drop off date had to be changed by her at the very last minute which caused me to have to really scramble to get my dog Maggie to her by an alternate time the next night. Other than that I was very pleased and will book with her if I have future boarding needs. Heather took very good care of Maggie who has some separation anxiety issues and made her feel comfortable. Maggie requires medication in the form of a pill 3x day which Heather agreed to and took care of. Correspondence and pictures were adequate during the stay. All toys and other items that I left with her were returned when I picked Maggie up at the end of my trip. Once again I would recommend Heather.

Heather kept us in the loop when our pet needed more support and a vet visit

Heather was great! We had to book last minute and she had openings, was in town, and had great rates. Communication was great, and my daughter enjoyed seeing pictures of her dog while we were out of town. We don't use sitters outside the family often, but I'm so thrilled to have found Heather to watch our boy when we were in a bind. We will absolutely reach out again in the future.

We felt very comfortable leaving our doggo with Heather for a week again! We especially appreciate her communication and flexibility around dropoff and pickup times. Thank you Heather!

Heather was great. Our pup had some separation anxiety and was out of sorts the majority of time for her stay. Heather was attentive and communicated with us the whole time. She took excellent care of our girl.

Heather took care of Min for more than 2 weeks while I was away for abroad trip. Min had anxiety issue and Heather handled it well. She was in communication with me for the whole time and sent me pics on daily basis. I wouldn't hesitate to send Min again to Heather. Thank you.
