Our Approach
About Us
We, Grant and Elissa Heatherly, are the owners and doggy wait staff here at Santa Clara Pet Vacation. We are in tune with the needs of your pets during their stay. Grant and I are efficient in poop clean up and puppy snuggles. We are lifelong pet owners and have a patient understanding of the needs of many different types of pets. We have a passion for rescue dogs and through our fostering and pet sitting efforts have encountered a wide array of pet behavior, medical conditions, and animal body language. You can be sure to trust us when choosing who to leave your furry loved ones with while you are away.
Our Story
Thule
The Warden
This princess pup keeps everyone in line. She supervises play time and keeps a close eye on the guest’s food dishes to make sure that every kernel of food is accounted for.
Werner
The puppy sitter, guest greeter
You will never catch Werner playing on the job. He takes his role seriously and sits in his perch up high where he can keep an eye on everyone. Werner will also be the first pup you meet when you arrive! He welcomes our human guests while our furry guests get to know the place.
Luther
Relaxation specialist
Luther encourages naps and lazy days. Relaxation is his specialty!
