Highlights
Pet care experience
I bring pawsitivity to all sizes!
Growing up, I enjoyed helping neighbors take care of their pets—everything from walks and sitting to boarding. One special time I looked after my neighbor's 9-year-old dog for three months. I made sure she was happy and healthy, and we had a blast learning cool tricks together, like shaking paws, sitting, spinning, and lying down to keep her entertained. Communication is a cornerstone of my pet-sitting service. I understand the importance of keeping pet owners informed and at ease. I am committed to providing regular updates tailored to your preferred frequency, whether it's through messages, photos, or videos. This transparent communication ensures you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands and enjoying their time under my care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a pet caretaker, I prioritize your pets' well-being, whether at your home or mine. For house sitting, I always begin by understanding your pets' preferred routines. If they have specific meal times, play schedules, or favorite spots, I make sure to stick to those established routines to keep them comfortable and content. In your space, I'm respectful and adhere to the guidelines you provide. If your dogs have preferred sleeping spots or favorite toys, I honor those preferences while maintaining a tidy and safe environment. If walks are needed, I tailor them to your dogs' preferences. Whether they enjoy shorter walks around the neighborhood or more extended outings at a nearby park, I adjust to their exercise needs. Communication is key—I keep you updated through messages or photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. Whether it's sending you a snapshot of their cozy nap spots or a quick video of their playtime, I strive to provide specific and timely updates about your dogs' activities.
Ratings and reviews
Heather was incredibly responsive and took great care of my kitties. Her update pictures helped put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her as a sitter!!
Heather was great with Cassius! Constant communication leading up to and during their walk. Will definitely contact her again in the future.
I have consistently used Heather for the past 2 years to check in on my cat whenever I am out of town. She is kind, helpful, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!
Heather is so sweet! She offered a repeat meet and greet when we got our second pup so he could get to know her as well. She was also able to help with drop ins last minute this visit which was so appreciated. She is thorough, asks great questions to ensure good care, and sends photos with her visits! Highly recommend :)
Very kind and helpful! Was great with my cat!
Heather has dropped in to care for our cat several times, and really made sure she was taken care of for our latest week-long vacation. We can trust her in our space and she communicates beyond expectations. Love getting photos and videos while we’re away! Heather also takes tremendous care in delivering medication daily. Will always rebook with Heather!
