Pet care experience

Animal lover, retired and flexible

I have fostered and worked with rescues in Canada when I lived there. I have also been a cat and dog mom for the last 26 years. I have potty trained and fostered puppies and abused animals from different situations. I own my own home and can sit in my home or yours. I love to drive so I can also pick up or go to appointments if needed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I own my own home and have 2 fur babies of my own. A 15 year old bichon and an 8 year old cockapoo. If your animals come to my home they will be treated just like my own family. I am available for 24 hour care as well if needed for long periods of time. I do not crate my dogs they have free run of my home and furniture.

Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard! She provided wound care on his foot and gave daily medications. Heather truly cared for our dog as if he was her own! We will definitely use her again!

Heather takes amazing care of my two dogs and treats them like they are her own. I used to hate leaving my dogs and honestly avoided vacations because I was always nervous something would happen or they would be stressed. She sends me pictures and videos while I’m away, which helps me relax so much and actually enjoy my trips. My dogs are always happy and comfortable with her, and I never have to worry when they’re in her care. Heather is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.

Schedule

I am retired and have all the time in the world right now to do what makes me smile! That means being an amazing loving dog and cat sitter. I get up every morning take the dogs to the dog park or a good walk We go to the beach and go on trails exploring After a fun day we usually chill out when it’s especially hot and then have a nightly walk before heading to bed. I treat my dogs like family and if in my home they will have the house as they feel comfortable. If I am in your home I will follow any instructions left to insure that they are comfortable and consistent.
