Heather is the best! She was very prompt. And was very attentive to both my doggies. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to have their dogswalked because she is great with them. Looking forward to seeing her again. As a matter of fact, she is, at this moment walking my kids around my community. That is so wonderful. The best to you Heather and thank you so much .

We recently went out of town and needed a pet sitter for our two dogs. It’s always hard to use a new pet sitter that you allow in your home. We met with Heather of PAWsitive Stay and immediately felt comfortable. Heather is serious about her job. She took notes and asked questions. She is personable and thoughtful. We received regular updates and pictures. Our house looked great when we got home, dogs were happy. We were so pleased that we booked a longer stay for later in the year! Rest assured that Heather will do a wonderful job and we highly recommend her.
Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once in total • My home, venue, etc.

Heather really helped get us thru all of the things we needed from a pet and house sitter and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care.

Our senior dog was wandering near our pool and Heather rushed right over to put her back behind the gate so she couldn't fall in. This dog is 17, can't hear and can hardly walk. I was worried about leaving her with a pet sitter but I now see how dedicated Heather is and I am much less worried now.

Heather cared for my dog for more than one month. She visited twice per day without fail. She also watered my houseplants. She brushed my dog & played with her in the backyard. My dog was in excellent shape when I returned. Heather texted me photos of my dog most every day. And we talked by phone when something didn’t seem quite right to Heather. I highly recommend Heather Grimes for dog sitting!
