Experienced and Caring Companion

Pet care experience

I have about 15 years of pet-sitting experience, with plenty of references in the San Francisco Bay Area, and British Columbia. The vast majority of my pet-sits have been through word-of-mouth, as previous clients automatically refer me to their friends, but I am also appreciating the service that Rover provides! I’m responsible, trustworthy, and care deeply about animals. I keep homes filled with warm energy, and bring comfort and fun to animal companions. I have sat for dogs, cats, chickens and a lizard! I have also dealt with special needs animals, including medication administration. I look forward to hearing from you! Why I love dog sitting Lifetime animal lover. Had dogs and cats in my extended family, and have experience taking care of many different types of animals. Makes me feel good to help animals live the best life they live. :-) I have a flexible schedule that I can arrange myself, and I enjoy giving pets as much time as I possibly can. I am very pet-centered. I care by paying attention. It's like having a child in the house; they are dependent on me as their caregiver, and they deserve to have their needs attended to. I don’t have much of a weekly routine, so it fits in quite nicely! I decide what my days look like for the most part. I care for pets in other people’s homes by paying attention to them! They are dependent on me for their care and survival and they deserve happy lives.

Heather was incredible and we couldn’t recommend her more. She is kind, compassionate and immediately made us feel at ease with leaving our elderly hound with her. Communication was excellent, she adhered to all the dog’s needs, and took great care of our house while we were away too.

Heather C. took amazing care of our 2 doggies and our home while we were away. She took them on different walks every day, and made sure they got a ton of activities. The doggies just love her. The house was immaculately clean when we got home too. She even administered our dogs medications. We can't wait to use her again!

Heather is simply the most responsible, loving and conscientious doggie caregiver ever - and she takes great care of your house as well. We have had Heather dog-sit our two big huskies several times for several days at a time. She has become one of their beloved "tribe" - she loves them and boy, do they love her. We trust Heather and recommend her highly.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not one who can just ignore an animal and pretend it’s not there because its wants and needs are inconvenient. They are beings that depend on us for love and survival, so I am very attentive to their needs.

Information Heather C. would like to know about your pet

No preferences. It's good to know if/when I can let them off leash, and temperament around other dogs. Also, if there are any injuries or sensitivities.

A typical day

The time I'll spend with your dog varies depending on my availability and dog needs. I do not work a 9-5 however, so that generally gives me more time at home with pets.

I actually don’t have a routine, so it fits in quite well! I am able to plan my days around pet care instead of the other way around.
