About: Hi there! I'm Kristy, a lifelong dog lover with a passion for furry friends and I would love the opportunity to assist you with your dog walking and care needs. What sets me apart? I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I'm familiar with different sizes and breeds, and know how to use harnesses if needed to ensure a comfortable and safe walk. I’m active and love running with dogs who need that extra burst of energy. Dogs can sense good people, and I'm one of them – trust me to treat your pet like my own. I'm pretty flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Whether you need early morning walks, or midday drop-ins, I can work with your availability. Just let me know what times work best for you and your dog! When caring for pets in my home: I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Dogs will have supervised indoor and outdoor time, ensuring they get both exercise and rest. I maintain a clean and comfortable space, with access to fresh water and cozy resting areas. Meals and treats are given according to your dog's specific dietary needs and schedule. I offer plenty of affection, playtime, and attention to make your dog feel at home. When caring for pets in your home: I follow your routines and guidelines to ensure your dog feels comfortable and secure. Walks, playtime, and feeding are done according to your schedule and preferences. I ensure your home is respected and kept tidy while I'm there. I provide updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured about your pet’s well-being. I handle various needs, from administering medication to special care for puppies and seniors.

About: With 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior companions. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or providing a calm, comforting presence for anxious or older pets. I also have two cats of my own, so I know how to earn the trust of even the most independent pets. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, respect, and love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I already care for my own two cats and have built my schedule around providing consistent, loving attention. Whether it's morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make time for each pet’s routine. I treat every visit as more than a task—it's a chance to connect, comfort, and care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free—whether it’s feeding, playtime, meds, or litter duty. I respect your space, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I aim to make each visit feel like you never left!

“Heavyn was absolutely amazing and super communicative. She provides in depth report cards, arrived on time, and made sure to ask questions when needed. I would highly book Heavyn! My dog loved her and cannot wait to see her again :)”

“Kristy is truly exceptional. Shes an avid runner and loves taking my three cocker spaniels for a run whenever she watches them. She even gave each of my dogs a new bandana during her last visit. Kristy's professionalism and genuine care for my pups are remarkable!”


Miranda M.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Miranda to look after my cat, Bear, while I was out of town—and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went! From our very first chat, Miranda was kind, responsive, and clearly a true cat lover. She took the time to get to know Bear’s routine, likes, and little quirks, which immediately made me feel at ease. While I was away, she sent me daily updates with adorable photos and sweet notes about how Bear was doing. It was such a joy to see him looking happy, playful, and totally relaxed. Miranda made sure his food and water were fresh, the litter box was spotless, and—most importantly—he got plenty of love and playtime. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Bear and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
