Pet care experience

Pets taken care of by vet tech

I am 47 years old. I worked as a vet tech for 20 years. I currently work from home and have a degree in Criminal Justice. I have a husband, 30 year old daughter, several cats, 1 bunny, fish, and a duck. Have also owned snakes, hamsters, and Guinea pigs in the past. I foster kittens through Tenth Life Cat Rescue, specializing in the bottle babies. I can take care of all kinds of pets and any type of special needs they may have. I can give injections, both Sub-Q and in the muscle. I can give oral meds, no matter what form (liquid, pill, powder). I don’t charge extra for medication administration or specialized care. Your fur babies will be very spoiled by me, all while maintaining your house rules!

Safety, trust & environment

I can stay over night, as well as come during my lunch break if needed. I’m very paranoid about escapes, so I’m very careful when traveling through doors to ensure no escapes happen, as well as ensure doors are securely latched.

Heather is an amazing sitter. Dewey always loves to have her stay with him, and I know he is in excellent hands while I’m gone!

Heather was once again amazing and went above and beyond for my fur babies. The peace of mind knowing that your babies and your home are in good hands is priceless. Heather is kind and patient with all of 4 of them. Each with their own unique issues that she handles with love and kindness. She provided us with regular updates and pictures as well. Thank you Heather, I will forever be grateful that I found you and will absolutely use your services each and every time.

Heather was so great with my cat! Heather was responsive, responsible, and caring with my cat while I was on a trip for about 5 days. Heather entertained her and even watered my plants while I was away, and left my cat and my apartment the same way I left them :)

Leaving Bailey is never easy, especially because of his seizure history, but Heather made the entire experience stress-free. She was dependable, caring, and attentive, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Knowing Bailey was safe allowed us to enjoy our trip without constant worry. We are thankful for her help and would happily recommend her to friends and family. Bailey will definitely be seeing her again! 🐾

Heather is amazing! This is the second time that we hired her to watch our two dogs while we were away. Our 5 year-old border collie had (his first) grand mal seizure while outside with her and she was calm and reassuring all while protecting his head from the concrete. She reached out to ask me if he had ever had a seizure (which to our knowledge he had not had) and after talking I told her I would check our Ring camera to see if it recorded it. Sure enough the whole thing was recorded and we were so grateful with how well Heather handled Marlo. On top of that Heather had to clean up after our GSD had diarrhea in the house (likely stress) and worked hard to leave everything clean and neat. We highly recommend her and will definitely request Heather to stay here next time- but hopefully for a less eventful visit!

Heather was great! She took very good of my animals and sent updates regularly. She was also very diligent in ensuring my escape artist cat stayed inside. I felt very good about leaving them in her care!

I like to meet the dog first and get to know about their personality. Being a vet tech, I am able to work with many different personalities and can read body language to know when they are not comfortable or are upset. I am not put off, or “run away” by a dog that is a nervous growler (like the kind that stand behind mom/dad and give a low growl just because they are unsure of me). These guys are usually my best friend by the time I go to bed the first night. 🙂
