Information Heidi R. would like to know about your pet

We do not take any dogs who have a history of biting or aggression. We respectfully ask that you don’t bring any dogs who bite or hump. Male dogs who have reached maturity need to be neutered to reduce aggression and humping prior to receiving care. A portion of our fence is 4 feet tall per city ordinance. If your dog has been known to jump fences, this might not be a good fit for you.

A typical day

We rarely take any of our Rover dogs for walks. I prefer to stay in our safe enclosed area to reduce any risks associated with leash walking. I’d hate for a dog to get loose and run into traffic or get lost. Our yard is large enough to give them plenty of room to run. We usually rotate dogs in and out of the house a few times each day, organizing them into two groups based on who plays best together.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Heidi. I own a house in the Vine neighborhood, have a fully fenced backyard and live just three blocks from Bronson hospital. I am a teacher during the school year and I enjoy doing dog sitting with my two kids on the weekends and all summer long. Dogs must be kid-friendly. We prefer dogs under 50 pounds but will accept a gentle giant.

Heidi was so great with our boy! She was very welcoming and sent lots of pictures! Her dogs were friendly and it looked like zuko had a great time. We would definitely book with Heidi again !!

My separation anxiety-prone husky was in wonderful hands with Heidi and her family. She sent me tons of photos of my baby snuggling on the couch, playing with her beagles, and getting snuggles from the kids. My pup went to her two days in a row and seemed totally content to be dropped off the next day. I couldn't ask for anything more!

Amazing doggy day care! Moose had a great time here and was always excited to go back the next day. Heidi sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you know your pup is doing well. I will definitely book again. Would highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
