I'll treat your furbaby like my own

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an animal loving teacher who loves playing with cats and dogs during my off times and/or mornings and evenings. I don't have my own dog due to cost/time, but I am a dog lover and grew up with family dogs my whole life. I currently have an awesome cat, Oliver, who thinks he's a puppy and follows me around the house and loves snuggles on the couch. I completely understand the trust it takes to leave your precious furbaby with a stranger because I have my own. I do everything I can to treat your pet with the love and care I would want provided to my baby. I love all kinds of dogs and cats and feel comfortable caring for any size or breed as long as they're friendly. I usually am pretty good at making friends even with the most shy or nervous pets. I have much more availability in the summer since I'm off then. I live in a great area with lots of trails and parks and I'm hoping to explore more of the area (and my clients neighborhoods) with my new doggy friends!! Please let me know if you have any questions or your dog has any specific needs or interests that I should know about! I'm excited to meet your dog!

Heather was attentive, responsive, timely, and fun. She kept us posted on her timing and was very communicative during the day walks. Especially during this stressful time it helps to have someone you can count on. My wife and I could not more highly recommend having Heather watch your dog (or cat for that matter)!

Heather has taken care of my pets for a number of times now and I've always been very satisfied with how well she's taken care of both my dog and cat. Both my pets are rescue animals and can be skiddish and anxious around unfamiliar faces, she has a gentle approach to them and is very patient and kind. After only a couple visits, my pets were comfortable around Heather and she has given them kind and loving attention while I am away. She is consistent about dropping in to visit them and makes sure the dog goes on a long enough walk, picks up their mess and cleans the litter box, and feeds them as we have asked. She also spends quality time with them with every visit, and is not one to just go and feed them and then leave immediately. She had a cat of her own and I trust that she knows how to care for other peoples' animals in the same way.

Heather has been watching my kitties over the years and I highly recommend her! Not only does she make sure they’re well taken care of but she keeps them happy too. She takes the time to show them love and play with them.
