Pet care experience
I earned a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy - which makes me no “expert” on dogs but an expert in care! Experience helps with the care of animals part though! I have housesat for dogs of all sizes from elderly chihuahua to a young labradoodle. I have experience with picky eaters, potty training, teething, deaf dogs, and those who require daily medication (including insulin shots). I have also housesat for homes with dogs and cats and even the odd blind chicken! Please know for any overnights my fiancé will join me and your pets. He has lifelong animal experience, so someone is sure to be around for your animals :)
Reviews
Heather and Andy took amazing care of our dogs and home. They are caring and capable, sending lots of updates and photos. Our dogs quickly bonded with and enjoyed them during their stay. I highly recommend them. A great experience for us and our two pups.
Heather and her partner, Andy, were amazing!! They took good care of our dog and cat during our 3 week trip. Very reliable, trustworthy and left our house clean and in wonderful shape. They care about your pets and your home. Highly recommend.
Heather did a wonderful job looking after Red. Her care allowed us to be worry free leaving our baby. I would highly recommend Heather.
Heather has dog sat for my little pup, Luca, and was absolutely fabulous! He adores her! Heather would play with him all the time, which was great getting his energy out. She has also dog sat for my parents with their little Maltese and they’ve always had nothing but nice things to say about her. She is reliable, communicative, and loves all dogs! I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I plan to care for animals at your home or guest house and will maintain household rules and expectations. Your animal’s safety and well-being is at the forefront and I’ll make sure their whereabouts are known, food and water consumed, and play is had!
Information Heather V. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer to know if your pet has any triggers or odd tendencies. I will like to know if your animal has any allergies. I would also like to know if your dog should be taken to the dog park or if they should stay more isolated.
A typical day
I will do my best to fit my schedule to what is familiar to your pet. I tend to wake up early which gives time for morning pets and exercise. I love to help dogs get their zoomies out, particularly just running around on the grass together. As mentioned, with my fiancé around most of the day, we can generally care for your pet with no disruption to their daily schedule.

Availability
I work full-time out of the house, Monday through Thursday. I can usually be around most of the day for your pet(s) Friday through Sunday. My fiancé works from home, so your animals will have near 24/7 company.
