Information Heather H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, and any special needs they may have, like medications, allergies, or triggers. I also like to know how they are around other animals, new people, and during walks. The more details you can share, the better I can tailor their care and keep them happy and comfortable while you're away!

A typical day

Depending on their energy level and personality, we’ll go for walks, play fetch, enjoy some tug-of-war, or just have a good cuddle and belly rub session.

Loving Pet Care Like They’re My Own

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Heather, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. I’ve had the joy of volunteering at two different humane societies, where I worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, ages, and needs. Through those experiences, I learned how to provide not just basic care, but real comfort and connection for animals in all situations. To deepen my understanding and provide even better care, I’ve also completed the Fear Free Shelter program for both cats and dogs. This training helps me reduce stress and anxiety in pets, making their time away from you feel safe, calm, and positive. Whether it's a walk around the block, a weekend stay, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I always treat them like family. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I pay close attention to individual routines and personalities.

We only trust our Truffle with Heather. Heather is the best. Truffle is so at home with Heather and her family that we can go on our vacation without any worries. We love how Truffle was so comfortable at Heather’s - sitting on her daughter’s lap while she was doing floor exercise, sitting on Heather’s lap enjoying the sun, bothering Heather while she was making the bed. Just like at home. Heather’s home is Truffle’s home away from home! Truffle loves being at Heather’s which makes leaving her at Heather’s a very positive thing for Truffle and us!

Second time staying at Heather’s. It’s like Truffle’s second family. Truffle loves Heather and her cat Willow. She got to meet Heather’s daughter and I saw photos of Truffle with Heather’s daughter. Truffle was giving her kisses. Heather is very communicative. Sent lots of photos. Most importantly Truffle feels love and at home there. Heather will be Truffle’s forever sitter… the one sad thing is - it can be hard to book Heather. What to do? She’s the best sitter. Fingers crossed - hopefully next time Truffle needs Heather, she will be available!
