Devoted Pet Lover
Pet care experience
“I was born to love dogs with every single beat of my heart I was born to take care of dogs every single day of my life” 🐾🐶 A customized twist on Queen’s classic song that captures my passion for our four-legged friends. With an abundance of love and attention, your beloved pets are in the caring hands of a devoted dog enthusiast. I’m deeply committed to their well-being and ensuring peace of mind for their owners. My experience includes managing a dog rescue and shelter, overseeing up to 40 dogs of various sizes and breeds simultaneously. I firmly believe that there’s no such thing as a “bad” dog; it’s the humans who may need guidance. My skill set covers basic obedience commands, canine behavior reading, and even dog bathing and grooming (excluding nail trimming – ouch!). Potty training puppies and maintaining clean, sanitary, and safe environments are part of my daily routine. In times of illness or injury, I’ve promptly sought out veterinary care, ensuring the best possible care for your furry family members. To me, all dogs are treated just like my own, so snuggling and cuddling are non-negotiable. 😍 Music is another shared love, and our home is filled with tunes that help us relax together. 🎶 I’m not just passionate about dogs; my heart extends to all animals. ❤️
Reviews
Hedieh was great with our 10 month old puppy and booked with us on very short notice. I would highly recommend!
I only choose the best for my two dogs. Hedieh is the best and she cared for them like her own :) Highly recommend
Hedieh, watch our two dogs while we were away and the dogs loved her, we felt at ease for our trip, she kept us updated with pictures too. We highly recommend her and would love to use her again for our next trip.
Hedieh is amazing!!! She is walking our dog while we are out of town and he is with my parents who are not able to provide him with the exercise needed. She had an immediate bond with him, has been extremely communicative and reliable and we feel so much less stress about being away because she is taking extra good care of him. She gives 120%. I highly recommend her!
