Trustworthy & loving dog sitter!

Pet care experience

I grew up with 2 German Shepherd Dogs and a shelter mutt, and I miss having dogs around! I am a reliable professional who will truly love and care for your dog as if they were my own. I have experience with anything from reactive/high drive dogs to slower senior dogs-and love them all equally! NOTE: I sadly cannot take pitbull breeds due to my building's policy!

Heather was such a great sitter for Mable! She sent plenty of updates with pictures, which is always appreciated during a first sit. Thanks for giving our girl extra TLC during the rain 💕

Heather is attentive, kind and communicative! I felt completely at ease knowing Bonnie was in her care all weekend. I know she was so well looked after!

Heather was very kind and welcoming to Newton and showed him lots of love. He seemed very comfortable in her home. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos. He had a health issue while he stayed with her and she handled it really well, communicated with us, treated him kindly even though he was sick in her home. Thank you so much Heather!

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.
