Pet care experience

I am your dog(orcats) best friend!

I can take your fur child for a hike or just a jaunt around the neighborhood. If you need drop-in visits while you’re at work, I can do that too! I love animals and have owned and taken care of several dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, and birds in my lifetime. Currently I have one amazing Orange cat, Lord Beerus. In the past, I have worked in a vet's office for a total of 5 years as a vet assistant with responsibilities such as surgery prep, administering medication, caring for hospitalized animals, along with many other tasks. I loved it! Currently, I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can drop-in in the morning, midday, or afternoon. Do you have a pet that has special needs, such as insulin shots, oral medication, or maybe a brushing? No problem! (As long as they won't try to bite me:)).

Heather does an amazing job with our dog! She can be barky with new guests and Heather is so quick to earn her trust.

Heather was super flexible with us this round and was patient with my opinionated pup who has a tendency to lay down on walks.

Heather is the real dog whisperer! I was in a pickle and needed a new sitter ASAP. Recommended by my neighbor, I reached out 24 hours hours before leaving. After a very quick response, she was here and meeting the fam. Three dogs with three vastly different personalities, she won over the toughest cookie of the bunch within 24 hours. I finally found someone I feel 100% comfortable with when I travel! So very grateful to have find this gem of a human. If you need a sitter - stop looking. She's the one!

Heather did a great job building trust with my puppy for her first doggy care experience. My pup is wary of new people and is working through separation anxiety but by the second visit she was super excited to see Heather for their walks. Such a relief for me to know she’s in such good hands when I am away.

Heather was a thoughtful and caring sitter for my two kitties. She took time to build trust with my shy kitty and provided detailed reports with each visit. She followed my care instructions and played with them each time she stopped by. We’ve had a bad experience in the past with a kitty sitter so I was quite anxious. Heather put me at ease and knowing my fuzzy faces were in good hands made my vacation that much better. Thank you Heather!!!
