Vet Tech with a Full House of Pets

Hi, I'm Heather! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I am a full-time Veterinary Technician at one of the largest emergency veterinary hospitals in Arkansas, with nearly 10 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. My background includes emergency and critical care, patient monitoring, medication administration, post-operative care, senior pet care, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Your pets will be cared for by someone who not only loves animals but also has the medical knowledge and experience to keep them safe and comfortable. As a mom to five boys (three biological and two bonus sons), caring for others comes naturally to me. My home is filled with love, activity, and plenty of experience managing the needs of both people and pets. Our furry family includes: • 4 dogs: Remy, Willow, Henry, and Tulip • 4 indoor cats: Tuna, Ivory, Mozzarella, and Gouda • 2 outdoor cats: Smoke and Pickles • King Julien the guinea pig • Munch the bearded dragon Because I share my home with a variety of animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, a senior needing extra attention, or requires special medical care, I am committed to providing individualized care that keeps them happy and stress-free while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and believe that communication is key. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your beloved family member is in experienced and caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I personally have worked side by side with Heather. She's an all around outgoing, trustworthy person. She has a passion for the care of animals whether it be through Healthcare or persisting etc. She's even taken on clients pets personally for long lengths of time to make the recovery process easier on the family. Recommend 10\10

Heather is currently caring for my puppy, Golem. Soon after adopting him, we learned he had a heart defect that affected his ability to keep food down. Due to some special circumstances, I needed help not just feeding him, but learning about his condition and a sitter before and after his upcoming surgery. Heather not only has the skill set, but the talent and a caring heart. She also pet sits for my other dog, Wolfie. I trust her implicitly w my pets, and in my home! You won’t be disappointed!!
