quality care for all your pets 💕
Pet care experience
Experience in caring for pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, pigs - you name it!) and house-sitting for 20+ years. I provide comfort to animals in absence of their humans and ensure they feel loved while you are away. I have experience administering medications and vitamins, following up with the vet if your pet is mid-treatment, and you can leave with peace of mind that I am following established medical regiments for a smooth recovery if your pet is on light duty. I have worked with dogs fresh out of surgery and kept them comfortable during their R&R down time. I’ve helped neighbors by caring for their mama dog and litter of 9 puppies while they were away. I have professional and personal references that can attest to my integrity and devotion to making sure your pets feel safe and loved. I know some people are hesitant to have a stranger in their home, but rest assured - my remote job requires annual background checks and randomized drug testing. I can bring in your mail, water your plants, and leave your home beautifully cleaned. I was pet sitting during Hurricane Idalia and I can last minute prep your home + keep your pet company during potential disasters.
Reviews
Heather was great! She took the time to get to know my dog in advance, provided in home support for a few days and kept me updated. Great to work with and communicate.
Heather was the best choice for our long trip. Ghost was in good hands the whole time and she was very communicative.
Heather was great with our 2 pups! Loved getting all the pictures and she respected our house while house sitting. Came back to happy pups and a clean home! Would definitely recommend and will use again.
Heather did a great job. Not only did the dogs love her but she picked up our mail and the house was in great condition when we returned. She even stripped the bed and washed the sheets. I would definitely recommend her.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can accommodate services in almost any environment! In my own home there is a dog door and fenced yard. For housesitting, I can easily slide into whatever layout is established. I find that most animals are more comfortable in their own home but I will consider short term services in my home on a case-by-case basis.

Information Heather R. would like to know about your pet
I want to know some of your animal's favorite activities! I'm here to ensure that your pet doesn't get the blues while you're away. I want them to feel as though they are getting the same if not more attention so they can relax and be at ease in your absence. Also, if your pet needs medications, has allergies, or has any current injuries - I can ensure safe and comforting care.
A typical day
I enjoy neighborhood walks, beach parks, and dog parks - if your dog is aggressive or timid around other dogs - that's okay! We can play fetch in the yard or you can tell me some of their favorite games to play.

Availability
I work remote and have a flexible routine which allows for at least 3 walks for 15-30 minutes (between 7:30am-4:30pm) and unlimited potty breaks as needed. After 4:30 pm I like to go for longer walks if it's not too hot. My typical routine includes a morning and noon walk, early afternoon play time (frisbee, tennis ball, or outside yard/park running), and an evening walk or run. I’m open to any additional requests.
