About Heather D.

Communication

15 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
100% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Safety, trust & environment

I can supply references of my former clients on the East Coast if needed as I’m still in touch with them. My two feline-kids don’t allow strangers in the house so sadly cannot do boarding at my home.

Information Heather D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if any special needs or concerns with your cat/cats as I have experience in a wide variety of conditions from Diabetes to Asthma to Senior Care.

A typical day

Keeping cats minds & bodies active is important so I always recommend toys to keep them moving and plenty of wildlife window watching of birds and squirrels!

Life-long Cat Lady

Pet care experience

My first cat was literally born in my crib while my Mom was in labor with me! I’ve never not had cats in my home and now have 2 feline kids. As a former volunteer with a rescue in NYC, I am well versed for medically sensitive cats like giving various medications (shots, oral liquids or pills, inhalers), specialized diets including supplements and am trained for bottle babies as young as a week old. Another special skill would be nail trimmings so happy to assist when needed!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
