Highlights
Pet care experience
Furry friends are my favorite! 🐾
Hi! I'm Heather 😁 Originally from Central NY. Then moved to Northern Virginia. Now calling the Charlotte suburbs home. Not only have I cared for a variety of pets (dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc.) and taken care of my own babies (cats, dog, gecko), but I have also volunteered at a PetSmart Adoption Center taking care of cats in need of homes - which included emptying litter pans, feeding them, and giving them medications/special food as needed. I also have experience with senior dogs who have mobility issues as well as dogs and cats needing oral or ophthalmic medications. I used to live with one of my best friends who was a licensed veterinary technician who taught me a lot about animals in general (we used to have 5 cats, 4 rats, and a large fish tank in our small apartment!) If your cat or pup needs a different medication (such as an injectable), I am easily taught their routines, as I am a registered nurse by day. I have two cats of my own. One 11 year old female cat named Eevee, and one 4 year old male cat named Jefferson. My husband and I had to say goodbye to our elderly female dog, Mya, a few years ago and we were heartbroken... but we know now that she isn't suffering, and is watching over us. We also had to say goodbye to our gecko, Rico, a couple of months ago right before our baby was born. We hope to rescue more pets in the future! I am currently a stay at home mom, so my availability is flexible. The baby just tags along :) I only offer services in the client's home at this time. Meet & greets are a fantastic way for me to meet your pets and have them get to know me before I enter your home on my own (we don't want any stranger danger!). I do very well with written or verbal instructions and take notes on what your babies' specific needs are as to take the best care of them while you are away. I will not allow anyone access to your home, unless you have already approved them with me. And I will make sure your babies are safe and secure before I leave. I treat your pets like royalty, because that's how I'd want my babies to be treated!

Safety, trust & environment
I do not allow care for pets in my own home at this time. Please only inquire if you'd like house-sitting services and/or drop-in visits. When I am providing house-sitting services, I treat your pet as I would my own - cuddle time, play time, and keeping their home schedule/routine as much as possible! And of course, you can let me know of any extras your individual pet needs.
Ratings and reviews
Heather was the go-to petsitter for myself and my parents for years before she moved to Virginia. She is a complete animal lover and will take amazing care of your pets and your home! I could not recommend her more!
Heather took care of our daschund Quincy for many years. She is kind and loving because Quincy was very shy and he warmed right up to Heather. We felt very comfortable with Heather taking care of our dog. We were very sad when she left our area we had lost a dependable addition to our family.
