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!

I’m a repeat client of Heather. She is great at caring for my cat when I have to be gone. She sends update pictures just like I want!

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 :)

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. 🙂
