Safety, trust & environment

Heather's attentive presence, grounded energy (certified yin yoga teacher), & doting companionship ensure that your fur babies' nervous system remains regulated & uber relaxed. She conducts herself in the most respectful manner in regards to your home/nesting space.

Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet

Things Heather welcomes to know: - To ensure mindfulness & respectfulness, what behaviors/sensitivities does your baby express (eg: sensitive to certain noises, prefers to lounge under beds, etc) - Do your fur babies have nicknames? - Do they have preferred scratch-me-here or don't-you-dare-scratch-me-here spots? - Besides you as the parent(s), do you have a local emergency contact? - Do you have a primary veterinarian’? Do you have a preferred off-hours clinic?

A typical day

Heather loves a good game of chase the teaser toy on a string with kitties or the timeless 'follow that shiny spot reflecting off my watch face' game. Cozy snuggle sessions with a curled up pet in her lap (or wherever they feel most content to land) are always welcome too!

Cat Auntie!

Cat care experience

“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That’s the problem.” -A.A. Milne An uber-empathetic soul that feels like that awesome Auntie to everyone's pets! Feels their greatest legacy is how happy/content/safe their pets have felt over the years. They'd love the opportunity to share that energy with your babies! Heather is also an avid photographer & is happy to try to capture some beauty shots of your babies for you! They have extensive experience with special needs/health accommodations; including but not limited to blindness, hip issues, chemotherapy effects, extensive medication schedules/regiments (we’re talking spreadsheet-level regiments; happy to adhere to whatever your babies need!), diapers, etc. Heather treats animals like the integral part of the tribe that they are; they’re showered with love & snuggles (with consent), they’re constantly engaged and chatted with, and made sure to feel that they’re “livin’ the life”!

I was absolutely thrilled to have Heather watch Claude and Olive while I was out of town on business. I appreciated the daily updates and photos--I have absolutely no doubt both of them were well cared for during my absence. She also brought in my mail and checked on a couple of outdoor plants. I think they were slighted disappointed when I walked in the door after my trip and they realized I wasn't her! lolololol It makes me feel so much better to have an additional option when it comes to caring for my cats. I will absolutely use Heather again and highly recommend her services to anyone who's looking for attentive and authentic pet care!

Heather continues to be such a reliable sitter for my cat and even helped water my plants during this last visit!

I've booked Heather multiple times, and she's been wonderful every time. She's reliable, communicative, and always sends thoughtful updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I'm away.
