Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship and consistency while you’re away. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to accommodate a variety of care needs and give pets the attention they deserve. I understand how important routines are for both cats and dogs, and I make it a priority to help them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for,

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and low stress environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so I can keep their day as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself, ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, meals, and companionship while maintaining the environment they are familiar with. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a clean, secure space and plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Information Heather F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, medications, fears, triggers, and any behaviors you’d like me to be aware of before the booking. The more information you can provide, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I welcome pets of all sizes and breeds. For everyone’s safety, I do ask that any owners be honest about and history of aggression, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or significant anxiety so I can determine whether I’m the right fit and provide the best possible care.

A typical day

A typical day depends on the pet’s personality, age, and energy level, but my goal is always to keep them happy, comfortable, and engaged. For dogs, that may include walks, playtime with their favorite stuffy or enrichment toy, plenty of affection, and time outdoors. For cats it might be interactive play, treats, brushing, lap time, or simply keeping them company and maintaining their normal routine.

I have cared for or owned both cats and dogs since I was 10. I love all pets and would be happy to care for yours when you are away or walk your dog when you have a long day.

We are so grateful for Heather!! We have older dogs and we really needed someone who could just chill with them while we were out of town. She was so great with them, so communicative to us, and we could just tell by their demeanor when we got home that they were never stressed and that’s such a good feeling to have 🥹
