About: I have 1 dog that is a golden retriever. I’ve had pets all my life and love taking care of them. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)

“Heidi was sooo personable and agreeable to my needs and proved to be an outstanding care giver to Paco! It was the first time I ever had someone outside the family watch him -truly, peace of mind. She was willing to show-up early, mid-day and visit late so he could stretch his legs (run through the yard!). I highly recommend Heidi B !

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.
