Highlights
Pet care experience
ROYAL OAK DOG MOM PAMPERED PUPS
I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages since I was young. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, cuddle and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive and experienced with puppies, senior dogs and pets who need a little extra comfort and reassurance. Your pet’s safety, happiness and routine will always be my top priorities.

Ratings and reviews
Heather is great with Rue! Rue is really shy and timid with strangers but she was very comfortable with Heather.
Heather was super responsive and set me at ease with my first time utilizing Rover. She was very accommodating and I will absolutely utilize her again for drop ins when I am away in the future. Thank you again Heather. You were the highlight of Fig’s weekend as well!
Heather has been caring for my pets for over a year. I have a sweet Bully and a spicy Calico. I work a lot so she comes over for walks and cuddles. When I travel for work, she makes sure to give them extra love so they don’t get sad. Always keeps them on a routine and never worry about them because I know they have a bonus “mommy” and they look forward to seeing her ❤️
Heather is a fantastic dog mom who will reliably show up when booked and cater to the owner's preferences. She can handle a wide array of dogs from big to small, timid to bold, as she has a German Shepherd mix and a French Bulldog of her own. Both dogs are incredibly friendly to other dogs and enjoy playing with them. Her home and backyard are spacious, clean, and located in a safe area, so dog parents don't need to worry about them getting into anything harmful. I have a Chihuahua who hates everyone, and Heather has been so gentle and patient in earning her trust despite my dog's endless barking throughout the process. She genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She has watched my dog and cat before when I have gone on vacations, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, fun, and loving pet caregiver.
Heather puts so much love and care into my senior dog, Vincent. Every time I leave town he stays with her and her dogs and he genuinely gets excited to go visit her house. She remains kind and communicative through mishaps. When my usually sweet and well behaved boy decided to steal an entire box of cookies off the counter, eat them all, and vomit them up on her rug, she alerted me immediately and provided the proper care.
Heather has watched my cat while I'm on trips for years now! 100% trustworthy, friendly, and reliable! Sometimes I think my cat likes her more than me :)

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and enjoy making time for pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-ins, overnight care or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help provide a calm, loving and reliable environment. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I’ll always keep you updated while your pet is in my care.

A typical day
Your dog will enjoy a calm, loving and structured day with lots of attention, potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, playtime and cozy naps. I tailor care to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they love to play, go for walks or simply relax nearby with companionship and cuddles from me, Una and Boo.
