Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable Dog and Cat Lover
I have two senior cats and a 4 year old rescue dog. I'm a Junior High teacher during the school year but have a flexible schedule during the summer. During the school year I do drop-ins (early morning and evenings) throughout the week and have increased flexibility on weekends and during holidays. I'd love to care for your pet(s)! I've completed puppy socialization classes and dog obedience training. I've cared for friend's small-large breed dogs, and volunteered in animal rescue. I'm comfortable administering medications, if necessary. I love animals and will treat your dog(s)/cat(s) like they're family!

Safety, trust & environment
Drop-in visit includes: Feeding, play, give water, administer medication if needed (please be clear where medication is located and dose), letting dog(s) out for bathroom in yard, cat litter change. Drop-ins are 30 minutes and do not include a walk (but will let dog(s) out). For new clients I request a 15 mins meet-and-greet with the animal(s) in home before accepting. I charge an additional fee for more than one dog/cat.
Ratings and reviews
Heather was excellent! Provided detailed updates and lots of photos. It was lovely knowing that our boy was in such good hands while we were away!
Heather was an amazing cat sitter! She updated us with lots of pictures and messages while we were away which really put our mind at ease. Theo took to her right away and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an attentive and reliable cat sitter! Thanks again Heather!
We were so happy to have Heather back for a second time to take care of our cat, Cosmo! Heather is reliable, communication is excellent, and we know that Cosmo is very well looked after. When weather made our return uncertain, she was able to add an extra visit on short notice, which I very much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Heather!
Heather is an amazing pet sitter! She was wonderful with our cat, Cosmo, and I knew that he was well taken care of while we were away. I really appreciated receiving details of her visits each day and we loved seeing the daily photos. Cosmo definitely enjoyed his visits with Heather. I would absolutely recommend Heather as a pet sitter and I hope she will look after Cosmo again in the future!
I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Heather provided for my cat while I was away for the week. It gave me such peace of mind to receive regular updates and adorable photos - I could tell she was in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend!
Heather is the best! She is so attentive to our sweet kitty and responsive to texts should we need to communicate. We’ll keep rebooking with her!
