Pet care experience

Photos, Updates & Plenty of Love

I’ve never really known life without animals, and honestly, I wouldn’t want to. For nearly 40 years, I’ve been surrounded by pets of all kinds, and caring for them has always come naturally. From tiny birds to full-grown horses, I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, mischievous cats, gentle seniors, and everything in between! I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for multiple pets at once, and adapting to each pet’s unique routine and temperament. Whether your pet wants to spend the day playing fetch, going on long walks, or curling up for quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re happiest :) I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, plenty of affection, and lots of attention to detail. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely comfortable while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in experienced, caring hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes because I believe many pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away, minimizing stress and helping them feel safe and secure. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s schedule, personality, favorite activities, and any special care instructions so I can provide personalized care. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and being cared for like family.

Heather took great care of our cats! Good communicator, follows instructions well. We’re happy to have her watch out kitties again.

Schedule

One of the biggest perks of owning my own business is the flexibility it gives me. I have the freedom to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, which means they get the time, attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship they deserve, not just a quick stop between shifts. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it’s the perfect way to spend my downtime.
