Pet care experience

Loving home for your pets

I have 3 outdoor cats and have had cats for many years. We have 3 dogs and I’ve had dogs for the last 7. I love taking care of our dogs and cats. Caring for animals has given me a sense of purpose and I had to take some time off, which made me miss it a lot. I’m currently retired from the military and a lunch lady that’s off until November, then available around my part time schedule. When I’m not working part time, I do head out to take our 6 kids to school and activities, but I can manage pets around my schedule. I can make sure your pets schedule stays consistent, even when you are not around. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs. I also have 6 kids who adore animals. We have cats that are outdoor only and we live in a cul de sac, so walks are safe. Our kids have the downstairs, so there is not chaos or noise consistently. We can also create a safe space for your pet if needed.

Heather is awesome. Super-communicative, always on time, and on-schedule for feeding & care of our 3 kitty mouseketeers. She replied quickly to all our questions and provided cute photos of our lil' buggers after each visit. So nice to come home after a vacation to 3 happy cats! We'll definitely use Heather again. Thank you!

Heather is great, super flexible, gives my dog the attention she wants/needs- even if it is a painfully slow sniffer walk. I use her as often as I can!

Heather was so wonderful with my 4 dogs! They loved her. She was reliable & made sure my senior dogs all had their various supplements. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation and relax. We will definitely use Heather again, she was awesome!

Heather did a great job. Her care and concern for our cats was obvious, and she took great care of them.

Heather was able to help me out with a same day request. And then she nicely put up with my stubborn pup. I appreciate her flexibility.

Heather is great! She came after the snow storm so my dogs could get exercise while we were away! She is also very conscientious since I have 1 dog that is problematic too. I will book her again!

Schedule

I do not work at the moment, so I have plenty time to give your fur baby attention and play with them. My kids also love to play with any animal we have here. When I do go back to work in November, it will be part time only.

I like to know if they have any habits on walks or where they usually sleep. I also prefer to know things that you avoid with your dog, so I can keep things consistent.
