Because Your Pet Deserves a Pro
Pet care experience
As a Veterinary Technician I bring clinical expertise and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. That means: • 🩺 Medical support you can trust: Comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injections), monitoring post-op pets, and recognizing early signs of illness. • 🐾 Confidence with senior and special-needs pets: Whether it’s mobility assistance or chronic condition care, I know how to keep them safe and happy. • 🐕 Behavioral insight: Years in the field give me a solid read on animal body language, helping reduce stress and ensure comfort. • 💗 Heart-led care: Beyond the medical side, I’m all about snuggles, enrichment, and respecting your pet’s personality and routine. • 📋 Reliable communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you always know your pet is in caring, capable hands.

Reviews
Heather pet at for me for years. I know my dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, birds, etc. were in good hands and everyone was well cared for when I got home. If she could handle my house, I would be she could handle just about anyone's.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and respecting the environment they know and love. Here’s how I make sure every stay is smooth, secure, and snuggly: --- 🏡 Respecting Their Space • I follow the pet’s established routines and boundaries to keep their stress low—everything from where they sleep to how they eat. • I make sure to leave the home exactly as I found it (or tidier!), treating it with the same care I’d give my own. 🐾 Prioritizing Pet Safety • As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to notice subtle signs of illness, injury, or stress, and act fast. • I do daily health checks during longer stays, especially for senior pets or those with medical needs. • I double-check doors, fences, and gates during playtime or potty breaks to prevent escape risks. 🔐 Earning Owner Trust • I provide frequent updates with photos and videos, so pet parents feel connected and reassured. • I respect personal property, follow all care instructions, and never bring outside guests without permission. • I’m happy to meet in advance for a “get to know you” session, which helps pets warm up and gives owners peace of mind. ✨ Creating Comfort • Whether it’s playing their favorite playlist, using the same bowl every mealtime, or mimicking a bedtime routine, I adapt my care to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. • I stay calm, kind, and consistent, especially with anxious or reactive animals.

Availability
📆 Weekly Rhythm • Flexible Scheduling I plan my bookings so that no pet ever feels rushed or secondary. Overlaps are rare—each furry friend gets full focus. • Routine Health Monitoring As a vet tech, I build in wellness checks throughout the week—subtle changes don’t go unnoticed when you know what to look for. • Updates & Communication I carve out time each day to send photo and video updates to pet parents, because seeing their happy pet in action brings huge peace of mind. • Rest & Reset Time I also schedule downtime—for myself and the pets. Play is fun, but naps and quiet time are just as important for balanced care.
