Highlights
Pet care experience
We like you but please go away !
The exciting news is Chris is an official Rover sitter who also helps care for your fur babies when you need us ! We could write a novel here to express our love for animals and how much love and care your fur babies will get if you chose us. But I will start with this: Heather : Full time Insured Pet Care Provider at the pet’s home. Primary sitter for services. I provide services in East Haven area but will consider certain jobs further away. I will come to your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. I will care for them providing playtime, meals, exercise, potty breaks, medications if needed , walks ( for dogs 50 lbs or less) and most important, companionship. I will drop in and provide these services including long stay visits, multiple daily visits or overnight sittings if necessary. I currently have experience in taking care of Cats, Dogs, Ferrets and Fish, turtles and basic bird care. Even chickens ! I can give medication including insulin shots and I am pet care first aid certified. I have had several Senior clients with mobility issues so I can safely give breaks as needed based on your instructions if your Dog is a senior dog. We also have a senior dog. I can take your fur babies to vet or grooming appointments for the drop in rate and additional $6 gas charge . If I can not walk your dog due to my weight restrictions, I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime in your yard but ask that it be secured or there is a lead for the dog(s). Is your dog over the weight restriction but is a slow walker and doesn’t pull? Ask me and maybe we can meet to determine if I can walk him or her safely. We do ask that they be vaccinated including kennel cough, rabies and on a flea/tick prevention. All three of our own dogs are up to date with everything . We will meet with your fur babies and you to introduce myself even if you don’t have an immediate need for service . I also tell all my clients that it’s good to have several options of sitters you can trust . Please allow us to become one of your options . Just message me that you would like a meet and greet and the date selected is when you would like to meet . ( put in for example 8/30 1pm drop in) . I will not charge for this meet and it will never get officially booked as a drop in . Chris: The best helper and partner I could have for my business and life ! He often will join me to visit and stay with the fur babies as extra company for them and me. He will occasionally help by staying with the fur friends overnight or for sitting jobs in order to allow us to accommodate more customers. If anyone is familiar with Hagaman Library, he is the reference librarian there . He grew up all his life in East Haven and is known by many. Chris is great with many animals and has experience with caring for them. You get two sitters for the price of one sometimes ! Heather is the primary sitter and will handle any medication administration and most required walks. Will always be involved with each fur customer and arrive at the start of every job. We can not wait to play and cuddle with your fur baby. Please reach out with any questions. Additional references other than on Rover are available.

Safety, trust & environment
Visits /sitting with walks are available for dogs under 50 lbs and who are not huge pullers . Home visits include quality time with your fur baby, play time, outside breaks in your own yard ( or walks for smaller dogs ) and any feeding needs. Drop in visits for cats would include litter scooping and changing, feeding and companionship if the cat wants it . Some Cats want to be fed and that’s it . I always respect your home , will never leave it dirty and will follow rules or conditions you have for your home .
Ratings and reviews
We had such a great experience with Heather and Chris as our dog and house sitters. From the moment we connected, they were friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced with both pets and home care. When we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay, Heather and Chris came through without hesitation. That flexibility and willingness to help on short notice meant a lot to us and really showed how dependable they are.


Very friendly and responsive! Also provided lots of great pics during the visit.

Always dependable and flexible - and clearly likes dogs!

Heather and Chris complete my last minute request and were amazing with our dogs!

Heather is always dependable and attentive to the dog’s needs. Highly recommended.

Heather was great with Mars, who seemed very happy after they spent a few days together. Pet “parents” will find her very flexible, accommodating and easy to work with. She clearly loves dogs.

Schedule
My pet business is my full time job but I do travel Often for family and leisure but I try to accommodate my clients as much as I am able to. Chris became rover approved and can also help As needed with certain fur friends. Also, I try to work with my clients as much as I can to provide the best care possible at reasonable rates. Depending on your needs and length of stay or number of visits, I may be able to adjust rates. I am a pet owner who only wants the best care for my babies but understands pet services can be expensive. Please ask if you have any questions about my rates or how I can schedule your service needs to make it financially sensible also. I also do give a First Responder /Military to thank you for your service .
