20. Heather S.
“Heather has taken care of my two cats, and was fabulous! One is diabetic and needs a shot twice a day every 12 hours. Heather was working several other part time jobs at the time, but I could tell she was diligent and timely because my Ring would sound. In her texts to me, I could tell she cared so much about both of them. The other cat is such a “scaredy cat,” but Heather would let me know she had sat by her and managed to pet her! “Incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive” is about the best description I can give her!! I highly recommend her!!”
