Pawsitively Dependable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Animals have always been apart of my life. I have a background as a veterinary technician and been caring for friends and family pets since I was young. I would also assist my mom when she owned her own pet sitting business. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care so you can feel confident you pet is in good hands.

Heather was amazing! She gave our girl so much love and I could just tell from her photos and messages that Matilda was having a blast! We are so thankful to have found Heather as she gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book Heather as a first call the next time we need a sitter. Thanks so much Heather! 😍 🐾

Heather has been wonderful with our dog Rocky. She is very dependable and reliable. Her communication is great. Rocky loved Heather from the moment he met her. She handled the initial greeting chaos great- calm, confident, and so kind. You could see Heather's love for animals right away, We would highly recommend Heather to other pet owners and we will definitely be using her services again.

I would recommend Heather to oversee my pets anytime I was away. Heather has grown up with animals her whole life and would do anything for your animal to have a fun, safe, comfortable, loving time while you are away. She has done pet sitting for my cats multiple times!

Heather as been our go to person with our two golden retrievers and cats. With a vet tech background and her knowledge is a comfort for us when we travel. The dogs are so excited to see her pull up that we have no guilty feelings leaving our boys. Our cat never sits on our laps only beside us. But when Heather is here Tabitha sits on Heathers lap. I would recommend Heather to anyone who truly loves their pets. She will keep you informed daily if you like and take pictures of your sweetie pies.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
