Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors we should account for. We understand dogs and "normal" signs of anxiety or fear, particularly when being in a new environment. However, we do not feel comfortable hosting or walking dogs who are generally anxious or aggressive.

A typical day

We have a large, fenced backyard for your dog to enjoy as much as they want. Our neighborhood is also very walkable and we like to get out and take a couple loops each day.

Whole Lotta Dog Love

Pet care experience

I love dogs but am in a place where I don't currently have my own. Rover is perfect because I can use my flexible schedule to do something else I love - take care of your much loved canine. Seems a win-win to me! I have had pets, particularly dogs, since I was a child, most recently a much-loved 80-pound rescue mix, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes.

Heather and her husband were wonderful, allowing us to come in advance to get acquainted with them and their place. They have a large backyard and lovely home, and provided video and picture updates.

Heather is the best! She and John have a beautiful house with fully fenced garden where Mojo seems to be the happiest. Heather was great at communicating with me and sending pictures and news of my baby everyday. She was amazing with my dog and incredibly understanding when my flight back home was delayed. She kept my dog longer than originally planned and was so accommodating and helpful during a stressful travel situation. I really appreciated the flexibility, communication, and care she showed. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate with their pets.

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.
