Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs.

About Heather E.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.

Information Heather E. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, I always like to gather some key details about your pet before our first visit. Every pet is unique, and understanding their routine, preferences, and needs helps me ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both of you. Some important things I like to know include: Feeding schedule and dietary needs (including any allergies or restrictions) Daily routine and energy levels Medical history, medications, and vet contact info Behavioral traits (shy, friendly, protective, anxious, etc.) Triggers or fears (loud noises, strangers, other animals) Favorite toys, activities, or comfort items Commands or cues they know How they typically react to new people or changes in routine Any areas in the home that are off-limits or need extra care The more I know, the better I can care for your pet like family—and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

A typical day

Keeping pets happy and active is one of the best parts of my job! I love customizing playtime and activities based on each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, I enjoy going on scenic walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or simply exploring the yard or park for some sniffing adventures. If they enjoy training games, I also like working on basic commands or mentally stimulating puzzle toys. For cats, I bring out their playful side with feather wands, laser pointers, toy mice, and interactive play sessions—or just give them cozy lap time and gentle brushing if they prefer quiet companionship. Whether your pet loves to run and play or just relax and snuggle, I make sure they’re mentally and physically engaged, comforted, and loved while you're away.

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for.

I recently had the pleasure of having Heather care for my dog, Noodle, and my cat, Luna, while I was away for a few days. From the start, she was professional, communicative, and showed genuine love and care for both of my pets. Noodle absolutely adored Heather! They went on long daily walks together, played fetch in the backyard, and even worked on a few basic training commands. I could tell he was getting great exercise and mental stimulation because when I got home he was calm and happy. Luna, my cat, can be a bit shy around new people, but she warmed up to Heather quickly. She appreciated the quiet cuddle time and got plenty of attention, play with her favorite feather toy, and her routine was kept just the way she likes it. I received regular updates, photos, and even a few short videos that gave me peace of mind. It was clear both Noodle and Luna were in loving, capable hands. I highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for both cats and dogs!

Heather is an awesome pet sitter and dog walker. I highly recommend her. She has been taking care of my energetic Labrador, Max, for the past few months, and he absolutely adores her. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She takes Max on long walks, plays with him in the yard, and always sends me updates and pictures, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m at work or out of town. She’s reliable, kind, and incredibly patient—even when Max is being a handful! I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares for my dog as much as I do. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced to care for your pet, look no further than Heather.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Heather! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. My pets immediately took to her, and that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Throughout her time with my pets, Heather provided regular updates, including photos and detailed notes, which made me feel completely connected and reassured. She followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond—playing with my pets, keeping their routines consistent, and even tidying up before I returned. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, compassionate, professional, and affordable. I wholeheartedly trust Heather with my pets and home, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Wow...My dog was so happy. I have never felt more secure and happy leaving home overnight. When I got back, he was there with her and, although happy to see me, he was almost trying to bring me to meet his new friend!! This is truly a woman who loves dogs and who dogs love. will request her exclusively
