Pet Sitting Heron Walk

About: Honestly, I don't think I've gone more than a few months of my life without a pet around. I grew up with dogs and have since lived with and looked after dobermans, beagles, doodles, pointers, and pitbulls, amongst others, so a big, strong, or stubborn dog doesn't throw me off, and neither does a nervous first-timer. I've also lived with cats for years, so I speak fluent "aloof but secretly obsessed with you." Along the way I've picked up a lot of the extra care stuff almost by accident: giving meds on a schedule, handling a dog with leash reactivity, sticking to a strict routine for an anxious pet, being patient with a senior pet who needs a little more help getting around. I'm not saying I've seen it all, but I've seen a lot, and I actually enjoy the pets who need a bit more thought and attention. They're usually the most rewarding ones to work with. I'm currently a full-time master's student, and don't currently have other part-time work, but I will communicate if that changes in the future. I do have evening classes that are online except for one. Otherwise, I'm available to spend time with your fur babies. I like sitting in your pet's own home when that's an option. It just tends to be less stressful for them than a strange new place. Every pet's a little different, so I'm not going in with a fixed routine; I'd rather figure out what actually works for your dog or cat and stick to that. If your pet needs meds, has a quirk, or gets nervous easily, that's not a dealbreaker for me, if anything, tell me more, because I want to get it right.

“Brooke is awesome and truly goes above and beyond. We came home to our babies feeling happy and relaxed instead of anxious like they can be when we’ve been gone. Book her today!”

“Raeanne was absolutely phenomenal! She took such wonderful care of my kitty this week, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the updates and care she put into everything. I would absolutely recommend Raeanne and would happily have her watch him again anytime! 💕”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and haven’t looked back! We currently have two dogs, 7 & 1, Shiloh and Shepherd. I raised a puppy with my sister and most recently Shepherd who is a retriever/poodle mix. I am currently building a small business but it is very flexible. I can be available every day at any hour and would love overnights, weekends and longer term stays! I will treat them as my own. We will spend a lot of time together. I love taking walks and having a furry friend with me. I want them to feel as safe and secure with you gone as possible. I will provide daily photo and text updates so you can see what fun we've been having. I will bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water plants as well.

“Ashley was super sweet! My dog can be hyper and she was able to handle her with no problems! And she was able to accommodate to my dogs schedule. Your dog will be well taken care of in her hands!”

“Dana is a gem! She took incredible care of my cats and made my place look better than when she showed up! She thoroughly cleaned all the litter and made friends with my cat and always got freshwater as well… Like clockwork every morning and evening… 10 stars as far as I’m concerned! Thank you so much, Dana… Highly highly recommend her!”

“Claire is wonderful- was a life saver for Beatrice! Had a walker suddenly quit on me short notice - sent Claire a request on a Sunday and she was at my house for meet and greet the same day. I work so much and it is a relief that my Beatrice is cared for and it is truly sincere as she is a fur mom too!”
