About: 🏡 Meet Your Dog's Home Away From Home! Hi, I'm Heather, and I work from home full-time, giving me the unique ability to offer constant, attentive supervision of your pup. My home is already full of love, thanks to my resident doggos: Marvin (a friendly Old English Sheepdog) and Penny (a gentle Old English Sheepdog and Bernese Mountain Dog mix). They are social butterflies who adore making friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! 🐾 The Roxborough Adventure While we live in a 3rd-floor apartment, we believe in maximizing outdoor time and fun! Daily Chatfield Trips: We are approximately 6 miles from Chatfield Dog Park, and we make daily trips there. Your dog will enjoy endless roaming, socializing, and play potential in this massive, secure area. They'll come home happily tired! Active Fun: This means your pup gets high-quality exercise and mental stimulation every single day, perfect for high-energy breeds and dogs who thrive in an active pack. ✨ What Sets Me Apart I am capable of catering to a wide variety of breeds, ages, and personality types. My experience as a full-time dog mom to Marvin (an Old English Sheepdog) has given me key specializations: Grooming Expertise: I have a thorough understanding of the importance of daily grooming needs. If your long-haired or high-shedding dog requires daily brushing, ear cleaning, or quick touch-ups, that is absolutely no problem and will be included in their stay. 💖 The Next Step I would love to be your dog's happy home away from home! Please send me a message with a few details about your dog (age, breed, typical routine, and required dates), and let's set up a time for a Meet & Greet to ensure we're the perfect fit. 🗓️ Daily Pet Care Schedule & Routine Because I work from home full-time, pet care isn't just a side task—it is my daily routine. Your dog will receive constant companionship and supervision, integrating seamlessly into my relaxed and structured schedule. I am available for boarding or doggo daycare 7 days a week. 🛡️ Safety, Trust, and Environment My goal is to create a safe, consistent, and joyful environment that replicates the comforts of your home, with the added benefit of full-time, expert supervision. 🏠 Our Home Environment (Roxborough Area Apartment) Constant Supervision: As I work from home full-time, your pet is never left unsupervised. This allows for immediate response to any behavioral or safety concerns. Safe & Comfortable Space: My apartment is fully dog-proofed to be safe for all sizes, particularly giant breeds like Marvin and Penny. While we are on the third floor, all stair access is carefully monitored. The living space is cleaned daily, and we use only pet-safe cleaning products. Consistency: I strictly adhere to your dog's specific feeding, medication, and sleep schedules to minimize stress and maintain behavioral consistency. Dog-Friendly Pack: My resident dogs, Marvin (OES) and Penny (OES/Bernese), are vetted, friendly, and social. They provide excellent, positive companionship, but rest periods are always respected. ✅ Safety & Trust Protocols Leash Security: All dogs are securely leashed before exiting the apartment door. Vaccination & Health Checks: I require proof of up-to-date vaccinations and will communicate immediately regarding any signs of illness or injury. Emergency Plan: I keep local veterinary emergency contact information readily accessible. In the event of a critical emergency, my local knowledge of the Roxborough/Littleton area ensures quick transport to the nearest animal hospital. Communication: I provide daily updates, photos, and videos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and enjoying their stay. 🏞️ Active Care & External Safety (Chatfield) Safe Transport: Dogs are secured in harnesses and appropriate seatbelts/crates during the short drive to and from Chatfield Dog Park. Outdoor Monitoring: During our daily Chatfield trips, dogs are always under my direct visual supervision. I ensure appropriate play interactions and monitor for signs of overexertion or stress, particularly during warmer weather. 🤝 Flexibility & Dog Park Policy A Note on Our Daily Chatfield Trips: I understand that not every dog thrives in a large, off-leash environment like a dog park. If you do not feel comfortable with your dog attending the daily Chatfield trip, that is absolutely fine! We will ensure your dog receives a focused, structured neighborhood walk, or dedicated play/enrichment time instead. If you are just unsure about how your dog might handle the park, I encourage you to discuss any concerns with me. We can talk through ways to make the visit comfortable, such as limiting the time, staying in a quieter area, or using a muzzle (if applicable), to ensure a positive experience for your dog. Hydration: Water is always readily available both inside my home and on every park trip. I believe safety starts with constant attention and expert handling, which my full-time work-from-home schedule provides.

1. Lauren C.Star Sitter
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
2. Mary M.
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”
Sitters with 4+ stars typically range from $40-$50 per night for a dog in this area.

18. Mick B.
“Mickeala Was so amazing with both my cats. One being a complete curious introverted cat and the other being a clingy curious extrovert. I was worried about them with dogs as they’ve never been exposed but her experience and professionalism got them acclimated so well! She was thorough and sent tons of videos and pictures which clearly showed how comfortable they truly were. They were completely themselves as if they were at home! She was very flexible with our schedule which so happened to be all over the place which required several stay extensions and easily worked with and accommodated us. I will absolutely be using her for all of our pet care needs!”
