Dog hair is my glitter!
Pet care experience
I fell in love with animals when I was just a little girl. I couldn’t wait to visit my grandparents' houses because of their many dogs! As I grew I was able to teach the dogs new tricks, take them for walks and play fetch with them. After I learned how to properly care for the dogs, I adopted my own puppy! He was spunky little Bichon Frise named Jazz. I spent all my time training and playing with him. He never left my side. Because of the bond Jazz and I had it was very difficult to leave him when I would go out of town. I never felt comfortable leaving Jazz at the kennel. There were too many other dogs and I knew he wouldn't get the one on one care that he was used to. There weren’t many pet sitting options in my area at the time. This gave me great insight into what my clients experience when they seek out the best care options for their own animals. I want to be that dependable person they can call to take the worry out of leaving their fur babies behind. My friends and family call me the animal whisperer and it’s true! I am able to connect with animals on their level and understand their individual personalities. I am passionate about my work and do it with a gentle and kind demeanor that is unmatched. I believe pet sitters need to have a passion for the animals they serve. Animals pick up on our energy and they need to feel the positivity and happiness of the person who will be caring for them. I always make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and secure while you are away. I get to know your pet’s individual needs and will specifically cater to those needs. I have a special gift when caring for older dogs. I will always make sure they receive the best care so you have peace of mind while you are away.
Reviews
Heather helped out when my regular walker was on vacation. Bella had a great time with her.
My pups just loved Heather and so do I! She updated me on every walk and took pictures.
Heather is great! My dogs loved her and she treated them like family.
Heather is great with animals! My dog loves her. I don’t trust many people when it comes to my pup and she’s definitely at the top of the list of people I do trust. She’s great with him and treats him like her own!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a full time pet sitter so pet care is my routine. I also do grooming and training if you are interested in other services.
Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet
I like to schedule a meet and greet before any scheduled sits so the dogs know who I am and have the chance to sniff and explore my scent. Then I get on their level to play with them so they see that I am friendly and fun. We can go over a lot of the details during this time but please feel free to let me know ahead of time what activities your dog enjoys and I will be sure to keep them engaged as if you were home with them.
A typical day
I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood that is great for walking. We can also explore the many trails and dog parks around the metro Detroit area. In short, I take my cue from you and your dog’s preferences—we will spend our time walking, playing, cuddling and doing anything else they enjoy!

I prefer an open communication style and make sure my clients know they can get ahold of me when they need to. This ensures both parties feel satisfied and know what is to be expected. Pet sitting is my passion and I work diligently to make sure my business runs smoothly and efficiently.
