About Me

Hi, I'm Heather. Before operating my mobile pet care business full-time, I worked in a grooming salon where I gained valuable hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes and temperaments.

I take pride in the ability to adapt my care to each pet's individual needs by offering private dog walking, pet sitting, and occasionally grooming services. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away.

As both an animal lover and a people person, I believe that great pet care starts with good communication and by building professional relationships. I value the trust and responsibilities that pet parents can share with me.

I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies or kittens, and animals with special needs.

I am First Aid certified and fully insured.

I'm also a trained artist that specializes in pet portraits and can offer custom paintings of you or your loved one's pet.

Reviews

From first-time bookings to longtime regulars — here's what pet parents have to say.

"Heather is amazing with our dogs! She is so patient and has taken the time to get to know their unique personalities and work with them! She walks them 3x a week and is always so good at communicating what time she will be there, and how the boys were with her. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!"

Catherine

"Heather was so great house sitting my dog and cat. She checked in to give regular updates and photos to let me know how they are, which made me feel at ease while away working. An added bonus is her talent as a dog groomer. She did an awesome job. I'll be scheduling her to take care of my boys for all my future trips."

Rachael

"I have booked with Heather multiple times. She is very communicative and thorough, and always asks if there's anything else she can do. My cat Aspen loves the play time she gets when Heather visits. I feel much better being out of town knowing that Heather will look out for her."

Rex

"Heather was amazing to work with! She was a huge help walking our dogs while we were away for four weeks. My dogs loved her and she was so kind, taking such good care of both our active 5 year old Frenchie and our senior Frenchie and sending great pictures and updates along the way. She's the best!"

Trish

"She is a great groomer! She is sweet, patient, calm and passionate, you can see that she loves doing what she does. My baby is a little grumpy with the nails cut and she was amazing about it. Besides she has all the professional equipment to do a great job. I highly recommend her as groomer!"

Yesika

"Heather was so sweet!! She took the time to come by to meet me and my dog and was so willing to help! She made sure to keep me updated the whole time while I was away! Will definitely have Heather take care of my dog again!"
