Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. I make sure the environment is clean and tidy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.
Home
Information Heather V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for, including bathroom problems, chewing, dog aggression, or any concern at all. Every dog is unique! We require all dogs have their rabies vaccine, and tick/flea preventatives, and be crate trained.
A typical day
Your pet’s day with me is calm, fun, and familiar. We stick to their routine with walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I add in simple enrichment like sniff walks or puzzle toys to keep them happy and engaged. Seniors and special-needs pets get a slower pace with lots of comfort and gentle care. And you’ll get updates and photos so you always feel connected!

Where Pets Feel at Home.
Pet care experience
We own a local family pet care business; and we believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. With years of hands-on experience, advanced training, and a lifelong passion for animals, we provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I’ve lived with animals my whole life—dogs, cats, birds, and small pets—so creating a safe, comforting space for them comes naturally. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to seniors and special-needs animals who require extra patience and understanding. I’m trained in Pet First Aid and always focus on maintaining steady routines and low-stress care. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, medication reminders, or just someone gentle they can trust, I’m here to make them feel at home while you’re away. My family also loves giving back to the community—we regularly donate to local shelters to help support animals in need. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do; it’s a part of who I am.

Reviews
Heather was fantastic with our elderly dog. She was so kind to take the reservation at a late notice, as we were traveling out of town, and had to attend a memorial. She took great care of Buster, and I would highly recommend her.
We had a great experience with Heather taking care of our dog. Great to see pictures & updates on her stay.
They took care of my dog for 2 days. They sent me photos every day and kept me updated. They were kind, friendly, and sweet people. I had a very smooth experience with no issues at all. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would gladly trust them again. Highly recommend!
Our two large dogs had a great time with Heather and came back so well-rested and happy! We really enjoyed receiving photos during their stay, seeing how much fun they had! Thank you, Heather!
