Hi, my name is Heather I have been involved in caring for animals for many years whether it was my own pets or the grooming and boarding facility I worked for in my 20s. I am 50 years old. I am from the Quad city area originally but lived in Houston for 30 years, I recently moved back about seven years ago. I have a nice little house in Bettendorf with a great yard including a vinyl privacy fence. I will give your pet a loving fun, playful experience, and I’m very happy to send you video and pictures so you can see how your pet does while they’re with me .

Heather was fantastic. She took great care of our babies and listened to us when we gave her the run down on their unique quirks. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Heather was great with my two dachshunds. She kept me up-to-date on how they were doing so I could relax and enjoy my son’s wedding. Will definitely use her again if I’m in town and need a Rover sitter.
