Just want to pet all the dogs

Pet care experience

I got my current dog Meika, a German Shepherd dog, when I was 14 years old. I did all of her training, feeding, and taking care of on my own. She’s not 10 years old and lives with my parents (the home she grew up in) because she’s too old to live with me. I feel too much guilt to get another dog, but I’m desperate for some dog time! I live by myself in a big house with 10acres of property. It’s not fenced in but I have a long line that will still allow your pet plenty of freedom to run and get their energy out in a safe way. I also worked in a pet hotel for about a year (references available up of request). I learned a lot about different breeds of dogs during my time there. I learned pet safety as well as pet first aid. I became familiar with different diets and schedules as well as tended to senior and/or special needs pets. I will treat every pet as if they were my own, so they’d get a lot of love and anything else they required. I will also send pictures, videos, or FaceTime with pet parents if they wish - I’ve boarded my dog before and missed her so much, so I get it!

I have known Heather for about 6 years and there aren't enough good things I could say about her. In that time she has shown time and time again how responsible she is and what a big animal lover she is. Amongst friends and family she is the first one calls when in need of help with caring for their respective fur babies. Heather has also worked within the Pet Smart dog hotel and through that job alone has earned many skills that make her the best person possible to care for dogs. If her skill level and experience were not enough Heather also has a deep love and passion for caring for dogs. One of the biggest reasons she has looked into this opportunity is dedicate time to doing something that truly makes her happy while also helping fellow dog owners. So big or small, one pupper or many, you could not find a better caretaker for your fur babies than Heather.

Heather is a natural when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it’s cats or dogs, she has a special connection with them that puts her above the rest! My shiba inu can be testy and stand-offish, but Heather found ways to help her open up, and now Kaiya gets so excited when Heather comes to care for her! She’s reliable, friendly and professional, I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!

I've known heather since we were 5 years old. So you could say I know her pretty well. She is responsible, caring and beyond all things a LOVER of dogs. If there was a job Heather was born to do it would be taking care of dogs. She grew up in a big family with plenty of pups around. They had family dogs and her older siblings grew up and got dogs of their own. She took care of them all. If a family member was or is out of town they ask Heather to take care of their pups. Not just because she is good at it but because she genuinely loves it. She even got her own dog at a young age and took care of her like she was her own child. And let's be real, our pups are our children. Heather also worked in the Pet Smart Pet Hotel, caring for many pets at a time. She is an experienced, caring, animal lover who will take great care of your pup or pups while giving them plenty of snuggles, pets and love. If you're looking for a reliable, responsible and animal loving person to take the best care of your pet, Heather is your girl! I highly recommend her and once you meet her, the love and attention she gives to your pup or pups will speak for itself.

Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet

I am a sucker for German shepherds and big dogs in general. But I love all dogs!! I just need to know feeding schedule, if they have a favorite toy/blanket, any bad habits I need to watch out for or beware of, or any health or other behavioral issues I would need to be aware of.

A typical day

I have a huge yard that I could play endless games of fetch. I also have a big bed, perfect if your dog wants to cuddle. If you’re dog is still in training, I have experience with that as well and will easily be able to pick up any commands you’re training them so that they maintain a consistent schedule. I work from home so your pet will rarely ever be left alone.
