I have been an animal lover all my life. When i was little I used to make little hospital beds for flies my parents would swat and attempt to nurse them back to health. I have deep love for all animals and desire to help families feel better(it's like leaving a child for me) when they need to leave their animal family for work, overnight or trips. I was a foster mom with a local rescue in Minnesota for many years and have dogs,cats, ferrets,lizards, fish a hedgehog and bunny of o my own.I have done work with organizations helping to find lost dogs and volunteer work at animal sanctuaries. I will take care of your animals like they were my own precious babies with all the love, snuggles and silliness they can handle:).I have experience with puppies to elderly dogs and kittens to senior cats. We used to live on a hobby farm and have experience with hooves and farm chores:) I take care of chickens, cows,horses,alpacas, goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep etc so if your pup shares a home with those kind of animals I am the experienced one you are looking for! I have special experience with large breeds. German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Great Danes etc. known and welcome:) I am a student of the Trust Technique which is a program that teaches practitioners how to create a peaceful connection with trust and communication and how to have a healing effect on animals.

Heather helped my mom's dog (when my mom unexpectedly had to go to the hospital) with grace, speed, and good communication! Highly recommend!

Dog Walking • Apr 21, 2026

Heather was fabulous and was able to walk my fur baby last minute. It was so nice knowing he’d get to go out and potty.

Our drop-in visit from Heather went great. The kitties seemed unstressed when we returned home and the updates provide during our trip were very much appreciated! The next time we need a sitter I will be reaching out to Heather again.

Please let me know if your dog has special needs, conditions, triggers or behaviors. For example if your dog is scared of thunder I will be sure to stop over and sit through a storm. If your pets like soft music or the tv on, have a favorite toy or other comfort cares I will make sure they get that.
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.
