Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet lover as long as I can remember. All of my friends call me first when they will be out of town because they know I’ll jump at that chance. Being that I am a pet owner myself I know most people's pet are their babies, and I will treat them like family. I make it a priority to send pictures or videos at least daily, so you know your pets are well taken care of.

Heather did an amazing job with Finn. We got multiple pictures and she let us know how each day was. We knew Finn was in good hands! We will definitely be using Heather in the future!!!

Heather did a great job dog sitting my two dogs while I was on vacation. She sent updates with photos at least twice a day. I would definitely have her dog sit again and would recommend her if you ever need a dog sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She took such great care of everything while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was amazing—we loved getting regular updates and pictures, which made being away so much easier. It was clear all of our animals were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate the attention to detail and the care she put into both our home and our pets. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy!

I felt confident leaving for a trip knowing my cat (and home) was in good hands! Heather kept in touch, was reliable, and completely trustworthy!
