Pet care experience

Your Pet’s *Second Best Friend

Thank you for considering me, I can’t wait to meet your critter! I have volunteered with Compassion Animal Rescue Endeavor of Tallahassee during all four years of undergrad. Here I assisted with dog training classes, guided socialization of the rescue dogs, and walked dogs regularly. It was a great experience to see rescues come in and to then see them blossom into happy, healthy pets! Additionally, I have volunteered with Jacksonville Humane Society during my summer internship in 2018. In my time in this volunteer position I was trained in both dog and cat handling as well as dog walking techniques. These technical trainings have allowed me to have an increased awareness of behavioral aspects of the animals. I would love to continue this hobby of mine through Rover. I love spending time with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and my training has well prepared me to look after your pet! *you’re first of course, but I am stiff competition!

Heather was amazing! She was so kind and considerate of what I needed for my fur baby! She communicated incredibly well and always answered when I needed her!

Heather was wonderful. My pets love her. We also came back to things tidied around the main floor, which was not expected! 10/10 will use Heather's services again.

Heather is great, the pups love her and she communicates so well! I like knowing while I’m away the dogs are comfortable at home hanging out with Heather. It is so nice to see pics of them on walks or just hanging out. Recommend Heather 10/10!!
