Professional dog lover
Pet care experience
I am a Fear Free certified, full time dog handler. My professional experience has been gained working with local dog daycares, dog boarding facilities, and the SPCA. However, my love of dogs and animal care experience has been a life long passion since childhood. I have always been the go to person when friends need a pet sitter. I get to know the local wildlife and strays everywhere I stay. I can't imagine living a life without loving animals. All dogs respond best to positive reinforcement. All dogs want to feel loved and have choices in how they spend their day. I am trained and highly qualified in reading dog body language. I use this to gain trust with extreme patience, consistency, and genuine warmth the dogs can read in my own body language and tone. Dogs enjoy one on one time with me at their leisure as well as safely guided socializing and play. We can work together on reinforcing positive behavior, or any concerns with your dogs unique personalities! I am excellent with animals who have special needs, administering medications, and elderly pups.
Reviews
Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!
Heidi was the perfect fun-loving, outdoor-loving, entirely responsible, snuggle buddy for Rosie while we were away. She has a gift for seeing the world through dog eyes and for loving them as they are.
We had a wonderful experience with Hiedi! Our pup Oatie is a rescue and sometimes she can be fearful and anxious in a new environment. From the meet and greet, it was immediately evident that Hiedi was highly knowledgeable in dog behaviors. She was observant and respectful. It was really nice receiving daily pictures and updates when we were out of town. Hiedi also provided daily physical and mental enrichment for Oatie, which we very much appreciated. We’d definitely be going back to Hiedi for our future needs!
This is our second time that Hiedi has taken care of our dog. Hiedi's wonderful and so patient and understanding with our shy dog. Great care and great communication!

Information Hiedi L. would like to know about your pet
There are no wrong answers! I just need to know your dogs specific likes and dislikes. Words they understand, and activities they enjoy. How do you distract your dog if they are being naughty? Does your dog have recal (come when called)? Are there any specific behaviors you want encouraged or discouraged? Does your dog have any special needs, or dietary, or physical restrictions? Are they up to date on vaccines?
A typical day
Your dog(s) will enjoy family time and cuddling, just like my own 4 year old beagle. We take walks on our 2 acres of well tended country land and free play in the fenced yard space. I work with her on being polite using treats and praise, and of course she gets all the play time and pets she asks for. Your dog(s) will spend the day exactly as mine does.

Animal care is my full time occupation. I work from my home. I have the time, patience, and experience to care for dogs who require specialized attention, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with high energy.
