Loveable Animal Lover / Owner
Pet care experience
Hello- I am currently a college student finishing up a bachelor's degree and a soon to be new mom to my first child. My husband and I own three cats, a husky, and a leopard gecko. My oldest cat is nine, and I've had him since I was sixteen. He has asthma and has an issue with muscle deterioration due to the steroids he is on for the asthma, so I do administer his medications daily. I have experience giving dogs and cats pill and liquid medications, understand behavior of dogs and cats quite well and since we have a Husky, I work with high-energy dogs too. I've had the pleasure of being around animals all of my life, and I am comfortable being around them 24/7. If you would like for me to house-sit in your own home, please know that I cannot do overnight stays as I have my own babies to take care of, but would happily stay for part of the daytime. You must be aware that since I own animals as well, if you know your pet has problems with the smell of other animals this could potentially lead to a bad outcome for myself or your pet due to territorial issues (things like pet aggression, jealousy, nervousness, overall behavioral channges in your pet that could lead to injury to myself). I will soon be a new mom as stated above, and if you allow me to bring my child with me I will still be able to care for your pet. This includes house-sitting dogs and cats, dog walking, administering medications, feeding, etc. Giving me the opportunity to be a mother means I can provide for my family and spend valuable time with my child while also loving on your babies as well! I love to be active with animals, take them on runs and to the park, play fetch, and get those zoomies going! Send me a message if you'd like to book with me! Please know due to appointment scheduling, I may or may not be available at certain times during the week and will give you a heads up if there are any conflicts. Thank you! 😊
About Heather P.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can easily crate your dog if needed so long as a crate is already provided. If we do go on walks and come across another animal that your pet doesn't care for, I will walk in another direction to avoid confrontation. I also carry mace with me just in case of an animal attack so I can better protect myself and your baby as well.
Information Heather P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs your baby may have ahead of time. I can work with just about anything, but allowing me to know beforehand will give me a better understanding of if I will be a good fit for your pet or not.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. This means giving them tons of options when it comes to toys, play-time, letting them explore the outside world with new smells, and taking them to places they may have never gone before. For cats this means tons of laser-pointers, catnip, and tunnels to run through!

Availability
My schedule may vary depending on if I do go back to work eventually once I am healed enough from delivery. Of course any returning clients will be notified of any schedule changes. At the moment my schedule is clear except for the occasional doctor's appointments.
