Will play & run with your pet <3

Pet care experience

I've always had pets growing up and trained my dog since he was a puppy. I love animals and have been extremely passionate about them since I was young. I am very good at taking care of animals and making sure they are well-exercised and taken care of. My apartment is not very large but if you need a place for your pet to hang out for a while, I can promise that your dog will be taken outside often for potty breaks and to get their energy out. My cat is blind and very friendly. He was raised with dogs and is very laid back; mainly keeps to himself but is comfortable meeting new animals. I may also be working another job in addition to dog sitting, but other than that, my schedule is very flexible.

Heather took such great care of my dog and cat. She is such an animal lover. Very dedicated, loving and caring. I trust her care and will definitely rebook.

Heather has watched my dog and two cats for the past couple years, and I think she has always done a great job caring for my border collie, who is super energetic and loves to play!

I have known heather for 19 years and one of the many talents that she has always had is being a natural animal lover. She has a wonderful energy and connects to every animal she’s encountered. I have asked Heather to take care of my animals before, and she is fantastic at it. Whether it was with my horses, dogs, or cats, she is wonderful and takes care of them perfectly. She has always had a heart for animals and she has taken in many fur babies who needed good homes. Her love for her blind cat, Milo, has shown that especially. She adopted a sweet cat from the humane society who wasn’t wanted by people due to his special needs, and she pours all her energy into making sure he has the best life possible. Another example is her cat, Luther, who she took in while in highschool. Luther was a stray cat who showed up on her parents’ property and had clearly been dumped by someone. She took him in, fed him, gave him a warm place to sleep, took him to the vet, and allowed him to come and go as he pleased since he was already an outdoor cat. My final example was her family dog, Guster. May he Rest In Peace. Guster was a huge part of mine and Heather’s childhood. Although she was young, I have many fond memories of how Heather took care of him. We used to take Guster on walks, give him baths, and sneak him treats after dinner. I even remember one night when we were having a sleepover; we stayed with Guster in the foyer for so long while we were playing with him that Heather fell asleep with Guster in her lap. Her love for animals shows from the first moment you meet her. Although Heather is my bestfriend, I would unbiasly recommend her to anyone looking for a suitable care taker for their animal(s).

Heather is honestly the most compassionate kind person I have ever met . Deadserious. She is the perfect person to watch your pet as she has watched my dog and cat many times. She is so loving and attentive and I would trust her with any living creature. She is s giver and kind and honestly reads vibes of all creatures to attend best to their needs. The best choice.
