“We are so happy we found Heather to care for our two dogs when we were away for 5 days. She was great at communicating and made an extra effort to get to know our dogs before we left them in her care. She sent great pictures and updates to let us know how things were going. The house was very clean and dogs looked well cared for when we returned. We will be asking Heather to care for our dogs again in the near future.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.
About: I have always lived with pets even as a kid. I have worked with humane societies by fostering. Your pet will get so much love in our home! I work at the school so I am currently on summer vacation looking for a little supplemental income. I am home most days and if I leave it isn’t for long. I have a 6 foot privacy fence, I would say large back yard for in town, and a kiddy pool that my fur babies use to cool down on hot days. I have a yorkie and a corgi mix, I allow them anywhere in the house.
