Vet Assistant Who Loves Animals
Pet care experience
Hello, name is Heather. I am a 21 year old college student who’s going to school to be an Occupational therapist. I have 10 pets of my own, a dog, 2 guinea pigs and 7 fish. I've always loved taking care of animals and hope to continue for the rest of my life. I worked part-time at horseshoe lake animal hospital for 3 years before deciding to do school full-time. I can give most medication for your pets if needed. Even though I'm full time student, I am very flexible with my hours. Days will start off at 8 a.m pottie breaks and feeding. I will then go to school for 2 hours, come home to let the dogs out, then head back to school for another 2 Hours depending on the day of the week. After school, I will take the dogs on a walk around the neighborhood. They will get at least 4 pottie breaks and at least a 30 min walk depending on the dog and their size. Although I will be in school, if your pet stays at my house, there will be someone with them 24/7. I will treat you pets as if they were my own. I'm a very honest person and trust worthy. If you have any worries about letting your dog or dogs stay at my house, I recommend that we can do a tour which I will be more than happy to show you around to make sure you feel safe as well as your dogs. The reason why I am a pet sitter is because I love animals. My friends and family call me the crazy pet lady. Even though, I no longer work at the animal hospital I want to be able to keep working with animals. Meet my pets: Izzy is my dog that I rescued 11 years ago. She’s a very well behaved dog who loves being around people. Delilah is my female guinea pig. She’s a very sassy thing and loves head butting her food. She spends most of her days laying around and annoying her cage mate, Skunk. Skunk is my neutered male guinea pig. He is very shy and timid. He spends most of his time trying to hide from Delilah as well as trying to chew on anything he can find. My bettas are a huge part of my life. I have 7 males and they all have their own personalities. Rusty is my oldest, he looks like a rusty nail. Red is the jerk of the group. He will attack anything that gets in his way and that means me as well. King is my black crowntail betta. He’s very shy and everyone’s favorite. Then there’s Xero, he’s my veiltail koi betta. Next to him is Moonbin, my favorite. He’s by far the prettiest betta I have seen with blue and green coloring. Suga is another beautiful betta who looks almost like a piece of candy with his orange and blue coloring. Lastly is E’Dawn who is named after my favorite singer. He is a very interesting betta with white and yellow coloring.
Reviews
Heather stayed with our 2 Westies for 4 days. They are very spoiled and set in their ways but she handled them beautifully. She communicated with me via testing while we were gone and this was very reassuring to me. My house was very neat and my furbabies were well cared for. Would highly recommend her to others.
Heather is great with animals! My pets love her and are always so happy to see her. She treats them as if they were here own. She's always available on short notice. Heather gives daily updates and load of pictures of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be using her again.
I needed a sitter last minute after mine became injured and could not sit my pup for the weekend; thankfully Heather was available! She came over a couple days after requested, visited with my dog, and was able to stay the same weekend I booked her! My dog is quite rambunctious and Heather did great with him. He was happy, fed, and running around like crazy when I got home! :) Would definitely recommend Heather and will most definitely book again in the future!
Heather is great! She has watched my dog Zita a couple times for me and I am always happy with her service :) On one stay, Zita needed meds and she was great with that! Heather will send pictures/videos/text updates. It makes me feel so good knowing my dog is happy and cared for while I'm away. I would highly recommend her.
