Heather is fantastic! My fur baby Thor who has been going on «adventures» with Heather for over a year now. He loves his time with her and anxiously awaits her arrival during the week! He is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Swissy), which is a giant breed dog weighing in at 140lbs, and Heather can handle him well. So glad we found her!

I have to add my 2 cents worth to the other reviews. We needed someone to walk our dogs when we first met Heather. My husband and I both had arthritis and were facing joint replacement surgery. She is terrific with our dogs! In fact, even know that we are both capable of walking them, Heather comes twice a week as our dogs just love her so!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Heather. She accommodated us at the last minute to bring our little Piper as we came to town for the Big Sur marathon in April. Not only did she ask lots of questions about Piper to personalize his care for his stay, but she also gave us tips on traffic, directions, recommendations for food, etc. and was so kind and helpful. She was flexible on the drop-​off and pick-​up times for Piper as our plans were constantly evolving. We even got a picture from her that night of Piper smiling – seriously didn’t know that was possible but it’s still my husband’s background pic. cutest thing ever! I know he was happy and was exhausted on the drive home. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Monterey/​Carmel!

Heather is great! I got married recently in Monterey and found her on Unilocal.Of course leaving your furry children with a stranger for four days can be a bit nerve wracking… but the second we walked into her place, we know they’d be well taken care of. She sends pics, text updates, and keeps you in the loop the entire stay. I’d recommend anyone to her, and will definitely be calling her again in the future!

I didn’t actually get to use her service. This is a review for her kindness to help me out with my situation and gave me great recommendation that I actually use. Most business would be competitive and not wanting to refer out their business, but Heather is truly caring for dog owner’s needs. I think she is a great business owner who truly cares about the welfare of her clients or possible ones.

Our dog loves going to stay with Heather! He has been going to be pampered by her since he was about 4 months old, and is now 1.5 years old. He gets so excited when we pull up in front of her house, he knows he is going to have a fun time with a good beach adventure and/​or play time with other well behaved dogs, and he loves his Auntie Heather. She often texts us fun photos to let us know everything is OK but we never have a moment of concern, knowing she will take wonderful, loving care of our pup. Thanks to Heather for the peace of mind we have when we leave on vacation, knowing he is so well looked after!

OK. I get it now. After reading the reviews, I had to check out this «Heather». OMG she’s amazing! You could tell she is a true dog lover. They need more Heathers in the world. This is the first time we ever left our dog, Jäger in the hands of a dog sitter. He played really well with the other canines and he was absolutely pooped by the time he got in the car. I don’t think he realized how tired he was. He went on a beach adventure and Heather took some nice shots!

Took our cattledog, Sully, to Heather for 2 days of day care while we were at the First Festival. She sent us the most hilarious picture of Sully playing with the neighbor’s dog and let us know that everything was going well. Heather even drove Sully back to our hotel room both nights since the concert went until ~11pm and it would have been tough for us to drive back to pick her up. She even sent Sully home with a small bag of food when the one we brought for the weekend disappeared. What a great service! Thanks, Heather!

I hate telling everyone about how great Heather is because I don’t want to have to share her with the world. She is incredible, and her rates for her care and service she gives for both you and your dog are simply underpriced! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog or care for her overnight, Heather is the only one you should consider!

I highly recommend entrusting your pups to Heather. We were vacationing in Carmel for the week with my two vizslas but the cottage we were staying in has a policy against leaving dogs unattended. We needed somewhere for the dogs to stay during the day while we did some biking and kayaking. And Heather provided the perfect doggie day care solution. One of my dogs is a handful, always figuring out ways to get into food and food-​like objects that other dogs wouldn’t even notice. Heather kept an eye on him constantly to make sure he stayed out of trouble, which was much appreciated (and exhausting, no doubt).
The biggest indicator that Heather is fantastic at what she does is that the dogs were super excited to go to her house each day — and exhausted when they got home each night. It was great to have peace of mind that my pups were being well cared for, and I’m delighted to have found such a great doggie day care solution for future visits to Carmel. Thanks, Heather!

Heather is a wonderful dog-​sitter! She took great care of our little aussie, who literally smiles when she sees Heather. While we were away we received lots of cute photo updates and our pup seemed happy and tired when we picked her up, just the way we like her. I would highly recommend Heather for anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.

On normal sitter in San Luis Obispo wasn’t able to watch Coco when we went to Monterey for the day so we found Heather on line and are we glad. A wonderful setting 2 blocks from the beach and great personal care for Coco. Heather and Jesse were the best. we will use their services again.

We went to Monterey for the weekend but couldn’t take our little Molly (maltipoo) to the aquarium so we dropped her off with Heather. She sent us photo updates and Molly spent most of her stay cuddled on her lap/​sofa so she could be «protected» from the other playful dogs as Molly is somewhat tiny and shy. And she loves cuddles!
It was such a relief to know that our little furbaby was being taken cared even just for a few hours. Thank you so much Heather! We’ve definitely saved your number!

Heather is awesome. She was so sweet and you could tell upon meeting her that she lovees what she does and LOVES dogs. Our little love Abby was happily pooped for the evening after an afternoon day at the beach with Heather. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving Abby in Heather’s very capable care! Using a mapping app Heather will send you a text letting you know exactly where she is walking your dog and for how long, along with a picture of your dog having a blast at the beach. VERY Cool!

I would definitely recommend using Bow Wow Coastal! I left my sweet little Prince with Heather for the weekend and received text updates and pictures of him during his stay which was very comforting! Heather is so reliable and does everything she says she will to make sure that you and your dog are very happy! My Prince can’t wait to stay with Heather again!

We have used Heather twice now to sit our two pugs. We absolutely love her. Our two dogs are older and have special needs. Heather is caring of them and never leaves them alone. We can be anxious parents, but Heather completely takes our worries away. She consistently sends us picture messages of our dogs while we are away, which really helps put our minds at ease. If you are in need of a loving sitter to watch over your furry kids, your search is over. Can’t recommend her enough!

Though we live in Seattle, we had the pleasure of using Bow Wow Coastal while on vacation. Heather is incredibly friendly and warm, yet still maintains control with the dogs. Her own dog Lucy is a sweetheart so we knew our dog would be in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a gentle, affectionate, and active dog-​walker who will follow through on everything she promises. Our dog is like our first-​born child, so we are very protective. I didn’t feel even slightly worried while our sweet pup was in Heather’s hands. We can’t wait to see her again!
