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 did a wonderful job watching my dog on a super short notice, will definitely use her services again!
Absolutely amazing! Roxie had such a good time and was well cared for. Sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kept close eye on Roxie and didn't leave her alone during fireworks during the holiday weekend. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again!
Heather was great with our boy Gustavo. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was very pleasant to talk with. She made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her as you can tell she understands pets! Her husband was pleasant as well and they gave great feedback about how our dog was. Definitely going to be calling again when in need for a sitter! Thanks!!
Heather was responsive and accommodating to my dog Gatsby who has aggression towards other dogs. She sent daily pictures of him. Will book again in the future.
