Pet care experience

Loving your pets like my own!

I'm an animal lover who enjoys making new furry friends! I have always lived with cats and currently own 3. I'm skilled at giving cats medications and trimming their nails if those are services which interest you. My dog experience includes taking care of dozens of puppers and volunteering at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (PRC). I also have experience caring for less common pets such as chinchillas, snakes, and turtles (and plants!) Don't just take my word for it, check out reviews from past pet owners. Shoot me a message if you'd like to utilize my skills!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can only take care of pets outside of my home because I have a cat who hates dogs and will attack them on sight.

Heather is fantastic. She made sure to double check everything and was fantastic to my little dog. My dog is shy and she opened up to Heather so fast. I'm very happy and would recommend her without hesitation.

Heather is awesome! She takes good care of my 3 kitties while I'm gone and sends pictures that I love. Cheeto, Diesel and California don't like strangers so the fact that she is able to get 2 out of the 3 to interact with her is awesome. Even if it's just coming out long enough for her to get pics. This is the second time I've used her and not disappointed

House Sitting • Oct 20, 2021

Heather was new to us and after an initial meet and greet with Huey, who immediately liked her and asked for pets, we booked her for a weekend! Heather was affordable, and took great care of our big boy! She read the Huey Handbook and anytime she had questions texted to confirm. It was amazing not having to worry on my weekend trip out of town, knowing he was in good hands with her. She sent lots of pics and updates throughout the stay! Thanks Heather :)

One of the most patient and understanding people I have ever met. Our plans changed several times due to illness in the family and Heather was flexible and understanding. I will use her services forever if she is available.

She did a great job and I even saw her playing and interacting with the cats on video.

Schedule

I work full-time and exclusively from home. I'm flexible with scheduling because I know how life can be. My ideal times for services are early mornings (around 7 am) and early evening (around 5 pm) on weekdays in addition to weekends. I often ride my bike to make my visits. If a zero-carbon drop in appeals to you, let me know and I'll make it a priority :D

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Heather can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Everything reasonable to know, I like to be prepared. I'm partial to REALLY BIG dogs but love house pets in general.
