Information Heather F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of. The more information I have in advance, the better I can serve your pet.

A typical day depends on the pet! I can play as much as their energy requires, or I can be a mellow, comforting presence if the just need a lot of love, affection, and cuddles. I am here to provide for your pets needs during the moments you are unable too 😀

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by all sizes and temperaments of dogs for most of my life. I was always the go- to dog sitter for family and neighbors beginning around the time I was 10! In high-school, I volunteered at the Humane Society, doing kennel maintenance, dog walking, feeding, and play-time. I later performed these same duties in college when I worked as a kennel assistant in veterinary clinic that provided pet boarding. In this position, I was also required to administer medication and give baths. I went on to become a Special Education Teacher and acquired a facilty dog to be a part of my classroom. In order for this to happen, I was required to attend a 2-week intensive training at Canine Companions for Independence, where I learned a lot about dog behavior, care, and handling. I sustained a knee injury in 2024 that prevents me from rigorous walks, but I am certainly able to provide shorter, basic walks, playtime, and take care of all feeding, bathroom needs. I would love to help you out if you ever need a little extra help to make sure your pup feels safe and loved!

Heather is a very caring animal lover. She has cared for my pets several times. She has given my diabetic cat insulin when she cared for him. She take care of special needs pets, a dog(blind and 3 legged) even a bearded dragon and a tortoise. She is kind and very caring. She is great with animals and I really recommend her as a pet sitter!

Heather is very responsible pet owner. She has taken care of all my fur babies over the years. She is a diligent loving dog walker. And sn awesome cat "mom/aunt". Before she retired as a Special Needs teacher, she had a service dog, Laverne, who went to work with her everyday to help support her students. That was a lot of dedication on Heathers part. It just goes to show you where her heart is with all animals. Heather is highly recommend.
