Safety, trust & environment

I will happily take care of your pets in your home so their routines remain in place as much as possible. To ensure I know all the ins and outs of your pets needs and they meet me with you around first, I do request that we have a meet-and-greet before the first time I care for your pets.

Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet

I request a meet-and-greet with your pet before the first visit so they get to see me with you before I am taking care of them without you around. Please let me know of any special needs your pet has, such as medications, and any ground rules you have for them to follow like not getting on furniture.

A typical day

I meet your pet at their need and energy level, and will ask you what is best to keep them stimulated and happy. I tailor my visits to the pet, so I don't have a set agenda to do at every home. We will do what your pet enjoys, be it chasing a ball, doing tricks for treats, or just resting on the couch while getting lots of love.

Pet care experience

Let me look after your furry friends when you need assistance. I love all pets and will provide them with the attention and nurturing they deserve while you're away. Having been a pet owner of both dogs and cats for most of my life, I consider them part of the family. As such, I always ensure they receive affection and companionship while under my watch. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart; I understand their need for gentle attention and additional assistance, and I'm committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a calm and patient personality that pets find easy to connect with, but I also make sure they follow your rules! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Once again, Heather came to my rescue. I had a last minute need and fortunately for me she was available and willing to come last minute. She always seems to go above and beyond whenever she can. My Labrador loves it when she comes and I have no concerns at all when I need to be away. Thanks again Heather!

Heather always takes such good care of our girl Honey while we're away. We are so thankful for the time Heather spends making Honey comfortable with lots of cuddles!

Heather has cared for Mango several times, and I always feel confident he’s in great hands. She is gentle, attentive, and clearly connects well with him. My only “complaint” is that her calendar fills up fast!
