Pet care experience

Happy to be your doggie grandma!

We've had dogs since I was 10 years old. They ranged from Rottweilers and German Shepherds to Beagles and Dachshunds. I love dogs as much as they love me. I firmly believe the more love and attention you give them, the more love they give you! It would be my honor to take care of your pets in your home where they feel safe. I will happily walk your dogs, check in on them, or house-sit for you. I’m retired and am available any time of day. I take any responsibility for your pets very seriously.

Safety, trust & environment

The only reason I can't board your dogs is that we already have five dogs at home. I am very patient and will give your dogs all the love they deserve. I am used to giving medication in their food, but if necessary, I can also administer it orally. They will never be without fresh water, and food will always be on time.

Hettie cared so well for our pack of 5 dogs and handled that with no problem! We had no concerns leaving them with her and knew they were in great hands with Hettie! We appreciated her taking the time to play with EACH of them often while we were gone for a week. Couldn't have gone without her! Will use Hettie as often as we can when we leave town.

Hettie is fantastic! She watched our two pups for us while we were on vacation for a week. We got regular updates about their well being, including photos and videos. It was great peace of mind to know she was taking care of our home and our “kids” while we were away.

Hettie is wonderful! She loves animals and they love her. She's timely, detail oriented, and sent me a daily updates of what she and my pup had been up to. Her care and kindness takes away any anxiety I have about leaving my pup behind when I travel for work. She's the dog sitter you're hoping to find!

Hettie was amazing with our Charlie boy. She was very easy to communicate with and Charlie instantly fell in love!! We will definitely use Hettie again!

I’d like to know if your pets are allowed on the furniture and bed. What interval for potty breaks? Do they go for walks? Are they taking medicines? What are their personality traits and demeanor?
