Animals Love Me!

Hello, my name is Heather and I love animals. I have extensive experience as a dog walker and dog and cat sitter. I have taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Neapolitan Mastiffs. While I usually watch one or two pets in a household, a former client of mine had 5 dogs who were different breeds, 3 rabbits, and 2 cats. I have my own cat named Shadow and have been a cat owner for most of my life. I became a vegetarian because I love animals. If you entrust me to watch over your pets in your home, I will treat them like my own. I am caring, gentle, reliable, and hardworking. If I am taking care of your pets, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, and whatever else you may need. Whenever I see a dog or a cat, I pet him or her. When I visit one of my former clients, he remembers me and wags his tail in happiness. :) Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! Why I love dog sitting I love taking care of dogs because they are so sweet and each one has a different personality. :)

Safety, trust & environment

While I can't care for dogs at my home, if I stay at the client's house, I usually sleep wherever the client chooses, and cater to the dog's needs.

Heather is great! I’m thankful for her flexibility and communication as we had to reschedule multiple times.

Folks, I can't recommend Heather more if I tried! She was phenomenally responsive, caring, and super diligent about each and every detail. I had major surgery, so working with Heather was one big area I didn't have to think twice about. The cats LOVED her. I could tell because when I came home they didn't even look at me twice. ;-)

This was the first time we had Heather come and do an overnight with Jesse. Jess just loves her and she did a great job. Showed up on time, followed all the directions for elder care for my Jess, sent updates and photos to let me know they were doing well. The house was left the way we left it and Jess seemed very happy. I have already booked a longer stay with her in the near future. I’m so happy I found her!

Heather was awesome! She saved us at the last minute and my pup loved her. Will definitely use her again. Great neighbor!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

I would like to know if the dog has any particular quirks, like if he is aggressive towards certain breeds, and any other tips about him that might be helpful.
