pet lover wanting to help care

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog and loved and cared for her for 16 years from puppy, to elderly. I have a cat(who stays in my room so it won’t become an issue) and I’ve petsit a lot since childhood.

Heather was great! She and her family provided a safe environment for my dog, Levi. Levi came back happy and healthy after his stay.

Heather is an excellent pet caretaker. She grew up with dogs and other pets and provided unconditional love to them. She is also very good at interacting with pets and will be a great sitter or walker for your pet. And I have known Heather since childhood, and I can speak to the goodness of her character and how much she truly loves animals.

Heather McLaughlin is a responsible, caring individual who is excellent in caring for animals. She has watched cats, dogs, Guinea pigs , birds and hamsters and is very passionate about the pets in her care. She is trustworthy and kind. She speaks gently and lovingly to pets and they respond well to her. Joy M
