Information Heather A. would like to know about your pet

I am 100% unbiased when it comes to breed preferences. Things I would like to know about your pet before sitting include: -Are your pets on any medications? If so what method of administration works best for them? How often do they need it and so on. -Do they have a fear or phobia I should know about? I don’t want to unintentionally frighten your babes by taking them to the marina of the sight of water makes them nervous. Or take them for car rides if they get motion sickness. Your pets needs are my first priority. Don’t be afraid to share. -Does your pet have any behavioral issues I should be aware of? Please do not hesitate to share every little detail. I understand what it means to worry about a pet when they are in someone else's care. As your pet's sitter I want to make their time with me enjoyable and comfortable.

A typical day

There are several parks and marinas I enjoy taking my pups to! We also have close to 60 acres of hay fields and trails on our property that we enjoy hiking with our pups when the weather is nice! I have an SUV which means lots of room for the furbabes to roam around and hang their heads out of the window too!

Pet care experience

My name is Heather, I am an old soul who has always felt a deeper connection with animals than with any person. I have 20+ years experience working with various species of pets including dogs, cats, birds, mice, rats, fish, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, goats, horses, and donkeys! Currently my husband and I share a loving home with twolarge Dogs: Bella and Wyatt. Two cats: Xena and Tarzan. Several fish and plants! We have a barn with two horse and two goats. We do not have a fenced in yard but we do have plenty of space to run around on leash! We also have close to 60 acres of hay fields we enjoy hiking with our dogs when the weather is nice. I have worked with special needs animals at an animal sanctuary. During my time there I learned how to administer medications to both dogs and cats. I have experience working with senior pets as well as pets with various disabilities. I feel it is very important to take the time to get to know the animal which is why I am looking forward to a meet and greet with everyone who is interested in using my services! Please feel free to message me anytime with questions, comments or concerns!

Heather was such an excellent sitter for Annie! I got tons of videos of her playing with Heather’s sweet pup, Patches. Annie was exhausted when she came home and didn’t want to leave!

Heather was an amazing sitter for my new pup Annie! She was very accommodating of a last minute request to watch Annie and sent me tons of pictures and videos. She even checked on Annie the next day because she knew she hadn’t been feeling well. I will definitely be requesting Heather again!
