Experienced & reliable pet care
Pet care experience
Hey there! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has helped care for furry family members since I was able to walk. I grew up alongside a gentle giant Great Pyrenees, three fluffy cats, and two mischievous ferrets. My passion for animals led me to work in a pet store & grooming salon for seven years, where I cared for all sorts of furry and feathered critters, as well as bathing and brushing dogs and cats of all breeds, making sure they were safe, happy, and looking their best! In addition to my professional experience, I've been providing house/pet sitting for friends and neighbors since my teen years. I've looked after all sorts of animals, from enthusiastic puppies to senior dogs, horses, chickens, and cats. At the moment, I'm a pet parent to a shy asthmatic cat and a school of neon tetras, and a pet-aunt to a friendly and exuberant Bernese Mountain Dog. I am also comfortable handling and feeding non-venomous snakes, bearded dragons, geckos, or other amphibious & aquatic buddies. With my years of experience and love for animals, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your furry (or scaled!) family members while you're away.
Reviews
Heather was great! Very dependable!
Heather did an excellent job watching our 6 indoor cats, including a geriatric one the needed medication. She sent updates a nd pictures after each visit. We would highly recommend her.
Heather did a great job with our dogs. Will use her again.
First time using Rover and first time using Heather. She stayed in our home with our 12 year old doodle. We couldn’t be happier. She communicated and send pictures the whole time we were away. She brought in our mail and watered the plants! super reliable and sweet to our pop.!!

A typical day
I love to take long walks or jogs, play tug and fetch, or check out the local park! For those couch potatoes and sleepy kitties I'm always up for cuddles, pets, and just hanging out together.
