Highlights
Pet care experience
Each animal is a new friend!
Each animal is a new friend and I’m here to help their whole family! I’ve been pet/house sitting for friends and family for more than 8 years. I appreciate how each animal is a special individual and enjoy getting to know each one. My length of stays have ranged from 1 day - 2 months. If you choose me, I like to visit/meet prior to my sitting to make sure it's a good fit for all and help your fur baby get to know me with you present. No pressure if your schedule doesn't allow for it, it's not a requirement. Thanks!
Cat care experience
Heather also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m respectful, detail oriented and adapatable. I adapt my caring service to meet the homeowners routine/needs. I want to minimize the disruption to the pet’s normal routine and keep a happy home for the pet & parent’s return.
Ratings and reviews
It was our first time hiring a non family member to care for our girls. Yet it became very clear upon our first meet & greet that Heather B was like a family member to us! Our girls were treated like royalty. We received many photographs throughout out vacation that showed us our girls were very comfortable with Heather B. We will definitely ask for Heather B again & we sincerely suggest if you need a caring pet sitter, Heather B is the one to recommend! Warm Regards & with much gratitude, Andy & Pia
Once again Heather was amazing with Willow, Minnie and our house while we were away! Always sending pictures and updates. We even had some work being completed and she was extremely helpful!
Heather did a great job with pet. She communicated daily during our absence. She took the extra time to find out how to calm her during a storm. She stayed overnight and kept the house immaculate. I highly recommend and will use Heather again.
This is our first time using Heather and she was great! She was really good with Otis, attentive to all his needs and took great care of our home over the three days we were out of town. Absolutely no worries! I will definitely book with Heather again.
Heather did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated with lots of photos and regular communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Any concerns or questions were communicated promptly, and she was always professional and responsive. When we returned home, our animals were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they had received plenty of attention and love. Heather was also incredibly respectful of our home, furniture, and belongings, leaving everything in great condition. I would not hesitate to book Heather again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Heather, for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies! 🐾❤️
There are so many words I could pick to describe Heather but if I had to choose one it would be that she is absolutely WONDERFUL! She took care of our dog and cat with the same loving care that our family gives to our animals. Both of our pets are elderly and she was so attentive to their needs and made sure they were taken care of the entire stay. She was great with communication, also great with administering medication to both of them and going above and beyond while staying out our house. We also came home to a clean house which I was so appreciate of that! I would absolutely use her again for future trips. Highly recommend!!

- Where possible, I prefer to have a pre-sitting meet/visit with the parent & fur-baby to make sure it's a good fit for all and help your fur baby get to know me with you. No pressure if your schedule doesn't allow for it, it's not a requirement. I like to know about your fur-baby’s: • Language. What hand/body language queues will the fur-baby recognize? What do you do to offer comfort(a favorite toy or certain food?) Example: “Stay” with palm of hand facing them. •Triggers. What might set off your fur-baby to behave extreme in any way(happy,sad, defensive) Examples: “Don’t get close to the food bowl while they eat, they have food aggression. “Watch out for squirrels, they will take off after one when they see it.” “Don’t eat any carrots around them, they will jump and cry until you give it to them.” “Cuddle them or stay close during any storms, they are terrified of thunder.” •Routine. What is the normal schedule you keep? What is the longest your pet is comfortable being alone? Where do they sleep/eat? How many bowel movements are normal each day? • Habits. Are there any behaviors your pet often/occasionally does that I should be aware of? How do you respond and how would you prefer I respond in those moments? Example: “They will go to the corner of the room and pout if the other pet takes their seat. When this happens, I will usually pick them up and cuddle them, but you can either give them their toy or a treat if they don’t seem ready to cuddle you.” •Health concerns/habits. Are there any current or past medical notes I should know about? Example: “Sometimes they backward sneeze and it seems as if they’re choking, but the vet confirmed it’s normal and suggested to give the pet space. The vet suggested to call if they show any of these other symptoms…” •Communication Preferences: How much do you want to communicate about your fur-baby while I stay with them? I’m happy to keep it to necessities only, so you can soak up your time away or I can give updates often, have a daily call and send pictures every day. Just let me know how I can help bring you peace!
