Pet care experience

Professional & friendly dog lover!

Hello! I’d love to care for your pet! I’ve grown up with larger dogs, and have a 9 year old yellow lab, Moose. She is my fur baby and tends to get spoiled. We are active (walks and dog park visits), as I want your pet to enjoy him/herself. I am a teacher, so my availability is open more so in the summer and holidays. My husband and I do not have any additional children yet, so my schedule can include your pet! I can wash and dry pets, feed them, walk them, brush them, play with them, etc. I house/pet sit for family and friends, and am comfortable around most animals. I’m almost always guilty of asking to pet dogs while doing errands, because that’s just where my heart is. I’d love to give your doggo some love, attention, and fun.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to give the pets attention (play or pet them/spend time with them) and keep them engaged and entertained. I like walking and hiking, so taking them for walks or to a park is great!

Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Heather was reliable and great with stopping over to let our dogs out while we were out of town. She even took care of watering our flowers and cleaning up after one of our dogs when they had an accident in the house. Would definitely use her again!

Heather prepares well for the visits and is dependable. She communicates with us promptly and clearly. Our dog likes her and he has a new best friend. Will definitely request her again this summer.

Heather responded quickly and bailed me out on a last minute request. I appreciate her willingness to be flexible and walk Otto a couple hours beforehand.

Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!

I ask things like if pets get along with other pets in the house, what time they are to be fed and let out, what are their routines, what are there personalities like, and if there are any medications to administer.
