Cat Auntie!

“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”!

Leaving your pet is always hard, especially for an extended period of time. Heather, you put us at ease immediately with your updates, photos, and kind care you gave to our boy. We are so appreciative and would recommend you to anyone looking for pet care!

Heather is a wonderful communicator and companion to Beans! Her updates are thoughtful, reassuring and creative. Beans doesn’t come out from under the couch for just anyone, but Heather won her over right away. It’s a relief to know she’s in good hands when I’m away. Thank you Heather!

Heather has taken care of my cat Al on multiple occasions and is awesome every time. Sometimes think he’s disappointed to see it’s me and not her when I get back from trips.

Heather has continued to be an amazing sitter! I just got home from a week long vacation and it was so nice having the peace of mind that she was stopping in daily to visit with my cat. Her updates are always thoughtful. I would recommend Heather any day!

Schedule

Heather works Monday-Friday/8am-4pm. So, she's very happy to visit with your babies before or after work depending on your location/preference, which can be discussed. Don't hesitate to message, all can be talked through :) In fact, Heather's response time is in a top-tier percentile, so you can rest assured that communication will be open and swift.

Cats
Heather can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
