Information Heather V. would like to know about your pet

What is their temperament? Do they have any fears or anxieties? Separation anxiety? What are their preferences? The more information, the better. How do they act around other dogs? Kids? Cats?

A typical day

We can go to the dog park (with your permission), or take long walks around the park and neighborhood. I can brush or bathe your dog upon request. Most of all, I will give them lots of love and snuggles!

Pet care experience

Life-long animal lover and vegetarian. I have had every type of pet you can imagine: rats, turtles, snakes, and of course cats and dogs. My daughters and I currently have 4 cats, one small dog, and a leopard gecko. I live in downtown Long Beach right next to a very nice park. If your dog stays with me, I can take him or her to the park every day. My dog Bear is very sweet and friendly. He is neutered and current on his shots. I have a large crate so you don’t have to bring yours. Our cats can be kept in a separate bedroom from dogs if necessary.

Heather took great care of my cat. Lira is an elderly cat with health issues. Heather came by everyday fed her, scooped litter box and gave her medicine and some love and cuddles.She also gave me detailed feedback and pictures after her visits. I am planning a trip for my birthday next month and I hope she is available to take care of Lira again. Highly recommend.
