Safety, trust & environment

Do you have a dynamic duo or terrific trio? I have a special leash to make walking multiple dogs easier than ever. I approach each pet care based on the needs on your pet. If you have a nervous dog, I'll help them feel a little braver with some training games while we walk. If your dog feels the need to pull all the time, I can introduce some games to help them slow down and smell the roses.

Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you pet has any medical problems or unique traits. Do they have a specific schedule? Do they require medications? Are they super talkative?

A typical day

I like to work with each dog individually, sometimes that's extra long or very short walks, lots of puzzles and games, or sometimes it's spending lots of time helping the dog settle and be calm in a new situation.

Pet care experience

I've been walking for Rover for a few years as well as I helped with neighborhood dogs as a teen. Since moving to Bowie, I seem to have become popular for families with multiple dogs. As an adult I own 3 cats and a dog. I have experience with giving subq shots to cats as well as transdermal medications and ear drops. I have experience with reactive dogs and am willing to work with them as long as they aren't human aggressive.

Heather was absolutely amazing! She watched my dogs, Rayo and Mochi, on very short notice and took great care of them. She was reliable, kind, and made the whole process stress-free. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
