This was my second booking with Heather and it won’t be my last! She is fantastic! She communicates issues effectively and problem solves. When one of my cats was being difficult and wouldn’t let her administer the shot, I was worried I would have to come home early. But before I could fully type my sentence, she’d come up with a plan for the evening to ensure she could give the shot later. I hope she will be willing to take us on as regulars! My boys just love her!

The best! I recommend Heather first, she really gets my dogs stand offish personality, she gets them and doesn't pressure them but they know that she's there to take care of them. Honestly, I will not book anyone but her for my stubborn doggies

Heather is amazing! I had to go out of state to deal with a death in the family and she came in and took care of my boys, and I had zero worries or concerns after that first visit. She was always on time, left detailed notes, and responded to my texts very quickly! She was able give my old man his meds and keep them both happy and comforted while I was away. She had no issues with the house alarm or the litter robot, which are things that have caused issues with other sitters in the past. I could tell that both my boys liked her and trusted her. I will absolutely be booking with Heather again!
