Auntie's got this, now go have fun!

I have so much fun with all my furry nieces and nephews! My approach to every animal is the goofy Auntie who gives treats like a Grandma! I'm known for my relaxing massages, not to mention my yummy homemade dog treats. It is my goal to make sure that your dog or cat has as much fun on their vacation as you do. I am experienced with special needs and elderly animals, including administering medication and have experience in fish, birds, rodents and reptiles. Need a last-minute boarding? Feel free to reach out, I try to go above and beyond to accommodate last-minute requests.

Heather was amazing taking care of our sweet boy, Blue! She stayed at our place during our wedding weekend and amidst all the business both my husband and I had that weekend, we managed to feel relaxed and at ease knowing Heather was there. She sent daily pictures and updates and Blue looked like he was having a blast. She left the place spotless and even cleaned washed the bedding! We will definitely be using her again

Heather was amazing with Cece. I got to enjoy myself worry free and picked up a tired pup. Would definitely book again!

Heather was an amazing sitter for our pup! He was comfortable with her right off the bat and she took very good care of him while we were away on our trip. We had no worries at all the entire time!

Heather is FANTASTIC!! She went above and beyond to take PERFECT care of my pup Lily & my house! I came home to a happy dog and clean house. She kept in touch with me and sent pics of their fun/snuggles time. I will definitely book Heather again!

Heather was excellent in taking care of my dog. She made him treats before he arrived and took excellent care of him. She communicated with me continually and sent pictures of his experiences.

Schedule

I work from home which makes it seamless to integrate each dog's routine into my day. Potty breaks are frequent. Play and cuddle time is even more frequent. I want to briefly address the horror stories that I hear when talking to customers. Mainly about sitters that disappear for 12 hours out of the day or damage property. Animals are far too important to me for me to not make them a priority. Whether you are watching or not, my job will be the same. To make your loved one feel okay that their mommy or daddy is not there. I can't make them not miss you, but I can control the environment to make them know they are safe and secure until they see you again. And if I am watching your home, I will take care of it as if it was my own until I turn it back over to you. Trust is a very important thing that should not be taken advantage of.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to board animals under 30 lbs at my condo. It's a wonderful place for my furry friends to visit because it is very quiet and there are multiple safe areas to walk and explore, including a duck pond.

A typical day

I've always had much success with keeping a pet's routine as close to their normal one as possible. I believe that exercise and play time are very important and will follow the parents protocol. Lots of rub downs and cuddles are always involved in the day!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Heather can host up to 2 pets per night
Again, I concentrate on keeping the same schedule that a pet is used to. I find that consistency is very important for everyone. That includes: -Food regimen -Medications -Walking schedule -Any strong likes or dislikes -Favorite toys or activities -Any place they don't like to be touched, potential triggers or anxieties -Any tells they use to communicate And most importantly, where do you keep the treats!
