Full-time pet caregiver.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Heather! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child as I grew up with dogs, cats, and small rodents as pets. For the past 10 years I have worked professionally caring for other people’s pets either full time or part time. I am currently doing this full-time while I work on my masters degree. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and small rodents. I have cared for senior cats and dogs and am capable of administering medications. I’m currently not boarding as I live in an apartment at the moment. I am available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not boarding at the moment as I live in an apartment. I am available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I won’t accept clients that live over 10 minutes away.

Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet

I don’t discriminate breeds or sizes, however I won’t continue walking a dog that shows signs of aggression if it’s something that I can’t manage comfortably. Please be open and honest about your pets behavior. It’s important I know of any medical conditions, allergies, and your vets contact info. Any other info you want me to know or details about diet are always helpful.

A typical day

I like to have varied walks, I generally won’t take the same path more than twice a week unless a client insists to stick to a specific path. If there is a park nearby I like to try and spend some time there so that the dogs have an opportunity to socialize.
