Pet care experience
Senior Dog Savvy & Extra Patient
I’m especially comfortable caring for adult and senior dogs, including dogs who need a little extra patience, help getting around, regular medications, or a consistent daily routine. I understand that older dogs can have their quirks, changing appetites, mobility challenges, and very specific ideas about how their day should go, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m attentive, reliable, and big on keeping pets comfortable and their owners informed. I’ll follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions closely, and I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels for dogs who would rather enjoy a slow sniff around the block than run a 5K. I’m not currently taking puppy-care bookings, as puppy training isn’t my area of expertise. My sweet spot is providing calm, dependable care for adult and senior dogs while keeping their normal routine as intact as possible while you’re away.

Heather has a natural ability to understand what dogs want and need, and it’s clear how passionate she is about caring for them. She does a great job adapting to each dog’s personality and energy level. Whether a dog wants to spend the day playing, walking, and exploring or would rather take things slowly and relax, Heather is happy to meet them where they’re at. She’s attentive, caring, and someone I would absolutely trust to make sure a dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

Schedule
I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to keep pets company throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, meals, medications, and plenty of attention between meetings. My schedule is generally predictable, and I’m home most of the day during the workweek. That makes me especially well suited for dogs who are used to having someone around, seniors who may need more frequent breaks, or pets who simply prefer a little extra company. I’m also happy to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. If they eat at 5:30 sharp, expect a lunchtime stroll, or have claimed a specific spot on the couch as sovereign territory, I’ll do my best to keep life feeling normal while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort come first. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing around. I keep a close eye on pets outdoors and make sure gates and doors are secure before letting them out. Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide regular attention, monitor how they’re doing, and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m especially mindful of senior dogs or pets with mobility issues who may need extra time, shorter walks, more frequent breaks, or a little help getting comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely. I want your pet’s environment to feel familiar and predictable, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.
