Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, responsible pet care in SM
I've been taking care of animals my entire life, from my own dogs and cats, to those of friends and neighbors, and now I do it professionally part time. I work from home and my husband is retired so our flexible schedules allow us to spend quality time with your pet during the day, for overnight boarding, and extended stays. We provide a quiet, loving environment, making us a good fit for animals with separation anxiety, or seniors who need constant care or medication. We do not leave dogs by themselves during their stay with us. Since we live in an upstairs apartment, dogs that are a good match for us are fairly quiet and well behaved and can settle down between play and walk time. But I'm happy to do drop ins and walks for puppies and rambunctious pups! **Pick-up and/or Drop-off** is available for an additional fee. Price depends on distance. If interested in this service please inquire and I can add the fee to your invoice.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Heather is seriously amazing. We just moved to the area & we were so anxious to find a new cat sitter we could trust. She was absolutely amazing with our babies, was very responsive, attentive, and her amazing photos of our fur babies helped us to miss them a little bit less 🥹 we will surely use her in the future!
Heather did an awesome job with our kitties! They were clearly well-taken care of while we were gone and got lots of love. Would highly recommend Heather!
Heather was a wonderful cat sitter!
Heather is amazing! Avie loved her, she was attentive to her needs an also shared such cute photos every day. Will absolutely book again!!!
Heather is so thoughtful and attentive! We have three cats and she took time to get to know everyone's unique personalities and their group dynamic. She spent so much timing playing with everyone and building a relationship with the shyest of the bunch. Definitely recommend Heather!
Heather is the best. Both my cats loved her and we had a stress-free vacation because she took care of everything. One cat needs an insulin injection with his meals and Heather was experienced with that which was a dream. Thank you Heather!

Schedule
Having animals in my apartment with me makes the days better and I tailor my own work schedule around them. Pets can make themselves at home, are allowed on the furniture, go where they want to and can sleep the bed if they want to. I have doggie stairs for little ones, lots of clean, comfy blankets, plus balls and toys. I LOVE to walk and am happy to provide as many outside breaks as necessary, as well as long energetic walks for dogs who enjoy exercise.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our apartment has a security screen door for fresh air and views, and many securely screened windows for cats who enjoy bird and squirrel watching. I am a licensed and insured pet care business and have experience with special diets and administering medications, including pills, liquids, transdermals, subcutaneous injections and fluids.
A typical day
Your pet/s will get lots of attention, walks around the neighborhood and/or to several local parks. I tailor activities to your pet's needs, whether it is frequent potty breaks, or longer energetic walks. I'm also happy to walk with a front pack or push a stroller for senior or special needs dogs. As you can see from my profile I love to take pet pictures and I'm happy to send lots of updates throughout the day!
