Pet care experience

I am a 41 year old mother of 5 beautiful children and 1 grandchild . I moved to The Blue Mountains almost 6 years ago and have fallen in love with the beautiful scenery and friendly community. I have over 20 years of experience in animal handling. I started out as a student apprentice veterinary technician and then moved on to dog training/handling, and kennel manager at a dog boarding/daycare facility. I have grown up with animals all my life and they are my passion. I do a lot of hiking with my dogs, we explore the many trails this beautiful place has to offer.

Heather, thank you so much for looking after Manzy! She was so happy when we came home! Well looked after for sure! We really appreciated your updates as we have never left her for this long. We will definitely call upon you in the future, and recommend you to others!!!!

We needed a last-minute sitter while visiting Blue Mountain, and Heather was incredibly accommodating. She took great care of our dog, making us feel at ease so we could enjoy our activities. Our pup came back happy and relaxed, highly recommend Heather if you're looking for someone reliable and caring!

Heather took very good care of my dogs and cat for the week I was on vacation. This was the first time I had left my pets with a stranger, so it was reassuring to get regular photos and updates from her.

Heather has been walking Doc & Gemma during the month of June while we have been away on vacation. Her knowledge and experience with dogs in particular has been an asset for us as one of our two goldens has reactive tendencies. Heather’s demeanour is calm and confident which are two important traits that we look for in a dog walker. It has been a pleasure working with her.
