Second Family Pet Care

A Reliable Companion for Your Best Friend. Your dog deserves to be with their family. When their family isn't available, call on their second family. My name is Heather, but everyone calls me Katt. Certified in pet first aid and CPR. Certified in dog behaviors/psychology. Basic puppy, adult dog, and senior dog training background (certification in progress). I've had dogs all my life, mostly medium to large dogs. I love all of their personalities and quirks. They are an extension of my family. My own dogs are my personal blankets and pillows, they get ear scratches and kisses and all the lovin' they can handle -- yours will, too! We'll spend time at the park if your dog is hip to that, or stroll around the neighborhood. Whatever your furbaby needs to enjoy their time with me! If you have other animals (cats, ferrets, lizards, snakes, etc.) please let me know and I'd be happy to discuss care options! I have two amazing dogs - a 70 pound pit bull and a 60 pound pit bull/boxer mix. They are the loves of my life! They will be staying at my home while I'm at yours. I also have a 10 year old cat and a new kitten; I have previous experience with ferrets, mice, rats, lizards, and snakes. I work from home and occasionally do delivery driving. If your dog does well in the car, they're welcome to come with me while I'm out. I will be with them most of the day but will need to leave one to two times daily to ensure my dogs are cared for. I will only book one client at a time for pet sitting. I may still complete check-ins or walks with other clients during that time, but my pet sitting client will take top priority. Your dog(s) will never be alone more than 2 or 3 hours unless we've discussed it prior to your booking.

Safety, trust & environment

If your dog has any potential aggression or reaction, we may need several meetings before I'm able to watch them. This is for my safety as well as theirs. We'll discuss this at our meet and greet.

We couldn't be happier with the care our pets received! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and sent the cutest daily photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands while we were away. Highly recommend.

Heather was fantastic to work with. I immediately felt comfortable chatting with her at our meet and greet. She was great with our dog (who is a voracious jumper when meeting someone new). She took great care of the house sent me lots of updates. We would definitely book with Heather again!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate a lot of time! I do a lot of delivery driving when I'm not pet sitting and if I'm scheduled to go out, I can either cancel or take your dog with me if the weather is appropriate to do so and they're good in the car.

Cats
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Heather can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I have a fondness for pit bulls, rottweilers, and labs. I love big dogs! Please confirm that your dog is up to date on shots. Let me know your preferred vet. Also anything else I should be aware of. If your dog has any aggressive issues (food aggression, toy aggression, people, etc.) - please let me know prior to our meet and greet so we can discuss. If there are specific tasks or rituals your dog has every day.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
