Seriously with those five stars: AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!
We were planning to be out of town for 10 days and a few days before the trip our usual resource for dog sitting became unavailable. My husband found Heather in a flurry of searching and immediately got a good vibe from her. Well, his first impression was correct because she turned out to be the best find ever!!
My worry was that our dogs would be alone in our house for 10 days with someone coming over just for walks. I would never have been able to leave our dogs in that situation so what I really wanted was someone who would be able to come spend extended periods of time with them.
Heather came over for an interview and was immediately playful with our dogs, friendly with our kids, professional and upbeat. She presented us with some options for care, and I immediately gravitated to her offer to come sleep at our house every night. She would get up in the morning, walk and feed our dogs, and then go off for her normal workday walking other area dogs. Around lunchtime she would come back to our place for a daytime walk. And at the end of her day she would return and walk our guys yet again, play with them in the yard, feed them, and then spend the whole evening snuggling with them. In the morning, she would walk them again before leaving again. She even brought in our mail.
But even better than all that: she sent us daily texts with pictures to let us know how they were doing. It was so reassuring on our trip to know that they were not only being cared for, but they were having a ball!
The dogs loved her and so did we. We returned to a tidy house with happy dogs. We've asked her to come back and walk them during the day a few times a week while we're at work, which we've never done before. But they clearly all love each other so it's a win-win for everyone!
Cannot recommend her highly enough! read more
