Having grown up on a 100-acre horse farm I started caring for our domestic pets and large livestock at age 5. I began as a 4-H member, Youth Morgan Horse Club member and later qualified for the Grand Nationals in Oklahoma as stock seat equestrienne. Fast forward to year 2008 when (low and behold) I actually became a mom to a beautiful white miniature Golden Doodle named Shelby. A few years later I found her a toy brother, from the same Alabama breeder, and named him "Lucky". To this day, at age 8, he's still my Lucky Charm. On a cold winter night, back when dogs had dog houses (like Snoopy) and I was just a kid, I asked my dad if my black lab "Rocky" could sleep inside for the night. My dad's expression looked as if he needed a reason- so I provided him with one: "He's a person too!" I think that sums up how I feel about my pets and others' pets. They are important members of the family and I will always make certain that they are well cared for and loved while you are away.

Heather worked for our family for over 1.5 years. During that time she decorated and furnished 2 spaces for us (an office and a rental apt.) as well as managed a renovation of a third, an art studio. With her keen eye for art & design, and her ability to find good deals she has a knack for setting up/staging/designing spaces. She is also not afraid to roll up her sleeves and get to work doing physical labor, being a very capable painter and "handyman" as well.
