I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met!

Safety, trust & environment

When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!

Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the following: 1. Any special dietary or medical needs? 2. Is your animal crate trained? 3. Is your animal friendly with dogs? 4. Is your animal friendly with cats? 5. Does your animal show any food aggression? We would like to meet your pet prior to us working together to ensure we are the a good fit!

A typical day

When a pet stays with us, I match their energy. If they want to be a couch potato and cuddle with me, that's what we do! If they are a ball of energy, I'll go for a long walk, play ball when we go outside, and go to the dog park (if approved by the owner). I maintain a routine for potty breaks, bedtime, and feedings so your pet will have comfort in consistency. I am also flexible to adjust needs on a case by case basis to accommodate for any special needs or requests to the best of my ability!

Pet care experience

Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets.

Heather has watched my dog, Jupiter, at her house and has come to my home to watch over my 3 cats. She did an amazing job! She was very professional and courteous when coming into our home and visited the cats every time she said she would (we had previous sitters say they would come and then forget :( but we can see when our garage is opened) and sent pictures every time she was over. She went above and beyond cleaning up what are cats got anxious and destructive when we were gone and spent time with them to calm them down. Jupiter has stayed at Heather's house a few times and he absolutely LOVES aunt Heather's house! He can be nervous and gets anxious in new environments but Heather was amazing with him. Jupiter had a new problem pooping in the house and we brought a crate over and she helped start crate training and Jupiter never had an accident while at her house. I felt bad bringing a new crate over without Jupiter having experience with it but I didn't want any accidents and Heather worked it out amazingly well! If you need a considerate and professional dog/cat sitter Heather is definitely the person to come to! She has experience with a variety of animals and that really shows in any strange/emergency pet situations that have come up while she's watched out animals. 10/10!

Heather has had a life long partnership with various animals. She has worked with training dogs and understands how to handle many different personalities. I have entrusted my kitty into her care while I was traveling and came home to a very happy, healthy and stress free kitty. She was very good at keeping me up to date with pictures and information about my kitty every day. I wouldn't hesitate to call upon her again to watch my dear kitty.
