Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet
We would prefer small or medium breeds, as it seems to be the best fit for our two small dogs to play with. I like to know about general temperament as well as anxiety or separation issues. Would like dogs to be up to date on general vaccinations.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks. There is also a dog park very close by that we can visit with your permission. I will not walk dogs off leash. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he is most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog All day on the weekends. We are generally away from the house on weekdays for a span of 8 hours, but I can come home to play and let the dogs out if needed.

Pet care experience
As pet owners, we know how difficult it can be to find affordable and safe pet care while traveling. We just bought a house with a fenced in yard and are looking to help some other pet parents out as well as allow our dogs to find some new play mates. We live in a great walking neighborhood and will walk your dog, as well as let him run around (supervised) in the fenced yard. Our home is smoke-free. We have two small 15-20 pound dogs and a cat that thinks she is a dog. All are up to date on vaccines and have no history of violence. They are both well behaved and friendly. One is kind of lazy and likes to just find a quiet place to rest and the other is more active and loves to play. We allow our dogs to sleep in the bedroom with us and your dog will be welcome to sleep wherever she is most comfortable. Typically, we are home for the most part of the day on weekends and on weekdays are away from the home during normal work hours but can stop home to play or let the dogs out if necessary. While we love big dogs, we would prefer to care for small to medium size dogs as this proves to be the best fit for our dogs. We will only care for a dog from one family at a time, and will accept up to two dogs from the same family depending on the size. *We will accept puppies but may limit the areas of the house they are allowed in. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs and cats and various pocket pets since I could barely walk. I grew up caring for various neighbors' pets and then established myself in pet and house sitting with a few families here in Columbus. Now that I have my own home I am willing to host as well. About my yard We have a small fenced in back yard with a cement patio. It is mainly grass so dogs shouldn't get too dirty, but I will wash them if they do and it is okay with you. It is a perfect size for our smaller dogs with plenty of room to run. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication topically or orally.
Reviews

Grover had an awesome time for his first stay in Heather's home. This was also his first stay through Rover. Heather did a fantastic job of giving me peace of mind that Grover was well taken care of and happy. She provided daily updates, including pictures. Grover really enjoyed staying with other dogs and having a fenced in yard to play in. I will definitely plan to book with Heather again!


I was definitely worried about my dogs staying at a "stranger's" place since this was their first time. They tend to be very anxious dogs and typically don't do well with other people or other dogs. Heather did an amazing job making me feel okay about the stay and making sure my little pups were taken care of! She was totally flexible with our schedule, kept me updated on how they were doing, and sent lots of pictures. She was super accommodating to my little guys which was wonderful. They also got along great with her two dogs, even thought I have a particularly grumpy one. I am definitely keeping Heather's contact info for future stays :)


Heather was wonderful with our furbabies! She sent pic updates, which I loved. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking! Her dogs are the sweetest pups & played so well with mine! I'll definitely be rebooking with her in the future :-)
Heather is a loving pet owner with a big heart! She is a wonderful choice for a dog sitter and will treat your pets as if they are her own. Great choice!
