Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal rescuer turned sitter!
Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I am a retired teacher, divorced, an empty nester, and have one small personal dog named Daisy. I have experience in giving insulin to diabetic cats and dogs, caring for deaf or blind animals, geriatric animals, and in puppy and kitten care. I also have experience with barn animals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and with wildlife if you are a licensed rehabber and need assistance. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. It's super common for me to help with other household tasks, as well! Feel free to ask about other things you may need done around the house while you're gone!

Safety, trust & environment
I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.
Ratings and reviews
My dogs absolutely loved having Heather stay with them. We were gone 12 days and Heather gave them lots of love, exercise, and attention.
Bella had a really good time with daisy.
I actually have not seen Bella that ecit
We love having our boy stay with Heather when we’re away. As soon as he sees her his tail starts wagging! She has a lot of experience with dogs and doesn’t mind giving him his meds. She even sends us pictures during his stay. We like knowing he’s safe, well taken care of, and happy.
My husband and I felt as if our dog was well taken care of. We will definitely ask for Heather again
Heather was a very gracious host to our two dogs. This was our first Rover.com experience. Traveling in our camper but wanted to get to New Orleans. Our dogs were safe and well cared for while we enjoyed NOLA. Heather is very convenient to Paul B Johnson state park and would recommend her services for others. We got back early enough that she allowed us to pick our dogs up before boarding the second night. We appreciated the flexibility.

Schedule
Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsHeather can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Let me know of any allergies or problems with food. Behavioral issues such as fear aggression or toy aggression do not mean that your fluffer cannot stay with me - I have alot of experience with behavioral issues - but I do need to know beforehand in order to provide a safe environment for them and for my pack. I also need emergency contact numbers.
