I’ll run your dog up to 2 miles!

Pet care experience

I work from home full time and I want to give your doggo some love at ANY time! I have a boxer and a basenji mix of my own! I was given my first dog (West Highland Terrier) when I was 4 and have had a dog ever since. I have trained all of my own dogs with positive reinforcement. I am energetic, fun and athletic (pretty much a human version of a boxer, but with thumbs and a MUCH bigger nose LOL). I can run your dog up to 2 miles in a 20 minute period or slower for the doggos with little legs! I have volunteered at rescue leagues in the past, but that turns out bad because I fall in love and think I need all of the pets. Please help me by giving me a pet fix without having to exceed the cities pet capacity laws!

Heather was a great dog sitter for my dog, Josie. She watched Josie over a few weekend trips and was great to work with. Heather was super flexible and worked with my busy schedule (this helped with pickups and drop-offs). I have moved out of the state but highly recommend Heather as your next Rover sitter- she LOVES animals and has the kindest heart.

Heather has such a huge heart for animals. I don’t have even the slightest hesitation trusting her with both of my dogs! She is always excited to see them and truly loves my dogs like they are her own. Heather is amazing!

Heather is great with dogs. She takes the time to play with them. If the dog wants to run, she will run with them. If they are older and like a slow walk she does that too. She reads the dog and matches to what they need. No need to worry about your fur baby when Heather is on the job.

Heather is a true animal lover and I always feel super comfortable allowing her to watch my dogs. I know they are getting plenty of exercise, love and attention when they are with her.

Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have a sensitive temperament, whether or not aggression falls into that category - I can work specially with a dog that may have this sort of temperament. I would like to know their age and breed.

A typical day

There is a local park that is not very busy that I like to take my dogs to occasionally, otherwise there are larger near-by walking trails that I often take my own dogs on. We also have A LOT of toys and lots of space to play with them!
