Pet care experience

I will love and care for your pets!

I have been pet sitting for over 12 years, beginning in high school. I am highly experienced in caring for animals of all kinds, including different breeds, energy levels, and age groups. I truly enjoy working with pets at every stage of life. I have experience supporting pets with anxiety due to past experiences, as well as managing and calming high-energy pets. When pet sitting or dog walking, I always go above and beyond to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I genuinely look forward to meeting and caring for new furry friends and would love to hear from you.

Safety, trust & environment

New clients: A meet-and-greet is required before any booking is confirmed. As a safety precaution, I typically bring a family member with me; they will remain in the car while I complete the initial visit. During the meet-and-greet, please walk me through your fur babies’ usual schedule and routines, and introduce me to the pets I will have the honor of caring for. Please remember and note I CANNOT confirm the booking on rover until after we meet For extremely anxious fur-children: If your furchild experiences extreme anxiety, additional appointments may be required before your scheduled time away. These visits are designed to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and familiar with their care routine. This extra time allows us to reduce stress for your furchild while ensuring any potential concerns are addressed in advance. My priority is your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind while you are away. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets, as well as pets who are deaf or blind. I am also experienced in caring for cats. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I offer a variety of services, including dog walking and pet sitting. I am happy to accommodate your needs and tailor my care to what works best for you and your pet.

Heather was great with both dogs, one high energy, the other a senior pup who moves much slower. She understood their different needs and did a good job meeting them where they were. Definitely will call her again when I need a sitter.

Heather did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me updated with lots of cute photos so I knew he was happy and doing well. This was my first time leaving home for more than a day or two so I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos. I was also grateful to be able to book her last minute right before a holiday weekend. Thanks, Heather!

Heather watched our cat, Guinness, for the week we were away. She was very reliable and communicated any issues very clearly. Guinness was well taken care of and really looked forward to her dropping in to care for him and spend some time playing. I’d highly recommend her and plan to book with her in the future for the cat and possibly our dogs, too.

Heather was awesome. Daisy and Roscoe liked her and she spent more time than we expected with them which was great for the senior dogs. We will definitely use her again.

Heather was amazing while we were on vacation. She even got our timid shy guy out for pets and love. Heather went above and beyond. We had no worries about the care of our kitties during our vacation thanks to Heather's through updates and pictures. Will totally use Heather in the future.
