Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive & caring ready for new pet adventures!
Thanks for your interest! Pets have always been a part of my life. I've had many dogs from puppies that I’ve gone on to train and various other pets - cats, dogs, fish, birds or lizards. Right now I have an energetic ‘smarty pants’ Border Collie and a very elderly cat that thinks he is a dog! An animal lover in general I'm always interested in learning and understanding their behaviors. I’ve always enjoyed caring for any animals (except maybe spiders!) Possibly the most unusual and rewarding opportunity I had was raising days-old abandoned endangered baby ducks. From a child, I've always marveled at how each pet has their own personality and quirks! I’ve done lots of house sitting and pet care in the past for friends and neighbours whilst they have been away, tending to specific needs, routines or rules that owners have in place. I'm intuitive to animal behavior in general and will be happy to entertain, look after or comfort your member of the family to help them feel at ease. Whether that be fun walks and adventures or simply giving company and reassurance in their own home. I look forward to getting to know your pet!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm sensible and kindhearted. I understand leaving your home and loved one(s) in the hands of another can be worrisome but rest assured I treat your home with care and respect. Having done house sitting in the past, I'll be more than happy to keep you updated on how your pet is doing and also look after your property so that you can relax and enjoy your time away!
Ratings and reviews
The first time Ziggy has met Heather….. he was very quick to curl up on the sofa with her. When we came home he did greet us but then returned to follow her everywhere. We certainly hope that Heather will be available to sit with him in the future
A great sitter, so reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable with my dog. Highly recommend!
Heather was lovely , kind and patient with Coco . I felt comfortable leaving Heather and Coco for the first time at home together and will definitely recommend Heather and use her services again
My dog is quite anxious and can be a (noisy) handful but Heather was very patient and understanding. She spent the whole day with her and took her out walking twice despite the hideous weather. I received lots of lovely reassuring photos. I'm sure subsequent visits will be easier and quieter (please god!) for Heather once Rosy has got used to having someone new in her domain. Thank you for stepping in to help out when we really needed a capable and reliable sitter.
Heather looked after my cat overnight, she was proactive in her communications, eager to meet and learn from my cat prior to booking and very responsive throughout. I came home to a happy cat and the flat was in great condition as well, thanks Heather for looking after my cat while I was away!
Heather was great. Made an effort to come and meet us in advance of her first sitting session and was super flexible with the times I needed covering. Simba had a ball. I hope Heather did too.

Schedule
I have lots of flexibility at the moment to pop in and check in on your pet, go for walkies or just be around for company whilst you are away. If you need something more specific, then I'm open to that too. Feel free to get in touch!
