Here to be your pets new bestfriend

Pet care experience

Animal care has always been a huge part of my life and my strongest passion. I grew up on a ranch so My life has always been about animal care. For many years now I’ve worked as a volunteer for many local rescues as well as independently fostered many animals as well. The feeling of saving an animal from a horrible situation, showing them how love and attention feels and finding them their forever home and family will always be my most rewarding accomplishments and such an amazing feeling. Aside from rescue work, I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school. It started with family and friends and just grew over time. I have an amazing clientele that I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years and I enjoy creating that trust and bond with a pet as well, I feel that it makes the time away from their parents so much more comfortable and enjoyable for them because I know a lot of animals get separation anxiety because they don’t understand what is happening and change is hard. That’s also why I like to try to keep them on the same schedule and routine as much as possible to attempt to make the transition as easy as possible. I’m experienced with elderly animals as well as special needs and puppies too! There isn’t much I cannot handle lol. I also have experience with reptiles, farm animals and exotics too. I’ve taken nutrition courses, I’m certified in CPR and grooming. I’ve taken behavioral classes and poison control courses as well. I know how to administer basically any form of medication, including IV. I love to take pets on walks when they’re in my car because it helps with anxiety and it’s all around enjoyable for us both! I may be small, but I’ve managed to walk two huskies and a pit bull at once, multiple times so personally I feel like that’s impressive lol. I take them out for many potty breaks and I understand accidents happen in the house or car sometimes as well, so I use all natural cleaners when needed. I like to give many updates, weather it’s for drop ins then I’ll let you know when I arrive and leave and send pictures in between. If I’m house sitting I’ll send random pictures and updates through out the day/night and if for whatever reason I have to leave(to the store or to get food) I also let you know. And house sitting is the same. I also have my mobile grooming kit with me at all times too so If you think your baby needs a bath, their nails cut/grinded down, teeth cleaned, or even fur colored(100% vegan and animal safe dye only) please feel free to let me know any time. I have a simple form that I ask for you to fill out during our meet, it’s just basic questions like food schedules, any allergies, medication information(If applicable) vets information and misc. things You think I should know. I have had many people even just write me a care sheet which also works. I prefer the form/care sheet method just because everything important is right there so if eliminates any room for error. I make goodie baskets for new clients as well as the end of each visit I leave a little report card you know exactly how amazing they did! I make the treats in the baskets from scratch even if they have an allergy I can accommodate! I can make treats for all animals as well. If you have any further question please feel free to reach out, I will always respond and in a very timely manner. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope I can become your pets new best friend! I’m currently working by appointment only, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can almost always work my schedule to fit yours, if there’s any scheduling conflict I will know at least 24-48 hours ahead of time and I will 100% come up with a plan with you that works! Everyone is free roam in my house but I do have multiple size kennels set up in my home as well(they are comfy and cozy as well lol) so If you have a kennel trained baby who needs them, just let me know! I also can help out with kennel training too if needed. I have a fenced in yard but they are never unsupervised. And if we are going for a walk, I like to keep in inside my gated community where there’s hardly any traffic and there’s tons of grass to sniff and enjoy! Lol

Heather was very communicative throughout her time pet sitting our two senior dogs. One dog receives oral medication. We would love to have Heather watch our pets again.

Heather did a great job with our dog. She kept me updated when picking up and returning Stella as well as sent pictures. I will certainly be using Heather again to walk Stella.

I think Heather is an amazing dog sitter! She manages my dog really well- and he's a strong Husky! She is kind, thoughtful- very caring and good to my dog! Dakota gets treats, love and attention while he stays with Heather and her family!

I love ❤️ my Jax he is my world. I trust Heather to walk, visit and feed him. He is very spoiled. He loves to go for walks. Sometimes it’s a little harder for him (he is getting older) but heather has the best attitude with him. You would be lucky to have her work for you. I have seen her with other types of animals and she just has a soft spot for them all. We all need more people like heather.

Information Heather L. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your specific routine that you do with your pet. Your pets are your family and you want the best care for them. And I want to care for them exactly like you would! Especially since they’re in a new place with a new face, I just want them as comfortable and happy as possible. And If your animal is on any type of medication please leave me the information needed and instructions for said medications so I’m able to give them all the care they need.

A typical day

My complex has a giant dog park inside of it, it’s also very safe and all completely fenced in. My house has TONS of toys and activities for animals of all types. I love going on walks, to the park and the pet store to get goodies. Being active is so important for their health and happiness. And it’s something I just really enjoy.
