Let me be your Pet's Loving Friend

Pet care experience

Please don’t let that I aren’t had reviews in same time scare you away. I took some time off to travel And transition to CT. I am now back full Time and looking for new clients in the East Haven area. I could write a novel here to express my love for animals and how much love and care your fur babies will get if you chose me. But I will start with this: Full time Animal caregiver Fur Mom would love to watch your fur baby. I will come to your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. I will care for them providing playtime, meals, exercise, potty breaks, medications if needed , walks ( for dogs 40 lbs or less) and most important, companionship. I will drop in and provide these services including long stay visits, multiple daily visits or some overnight sittings if necessary. I currently have experience in taking care of Cats, Dogs, Ferrets and Fish. I can give medication including insulin shots and I am pet care first aid certified. I have had several Senior clients with mobility issues so I can safely give breaks as needed based on your instructions if your Dog is a senior dog. I also can take your fur babies to vet or grooming appointments for the drop in rate and additional $4 has charge . Why kennel your fur baby when they can relax and be comfortable in their own home? If I can not walk your dog due to my weight restrictions, I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime in your yard but ask that it be secured or there is a lead for the dog(s). I also ask that they be vaccinated including kennel cough, rabies and on a flea/tick treatment for my safety and also so I limit my chances of bringing home any unwanted critters to my pups and kitties. I will meet with your fur babies and you to introduce myself even if you don’t have an immediate need for service . I also tell all my clients that it’s good to have several options of sitters you can trust . Please allow Me to become one of options . I can not wait to play and cuddle with your fur baby. Please reach out with any questions. Additional references other than on Rover are available.

Heather is wonderful! Maizie cozied up to her immediately, and it's super-clear she and Heather have a tight bond even after just a couple of walks (and belly rubs..). And I get to come home at the end of the day to a very happy and calm pup.

She’s she’s the most passionate and loving pet sitter out there. Heather cares very deeply for animals and it shows. She’s simply amazing and capable.

Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.

My pet business is my full time job but I do travel Often for family and leisure but I try accommodate my clients as much as I am able to. Also, I try to work with my clients as much as I can to provide the best care possible at reasonable rates. Depending on your needs and length of stay or number of visits, I may be able to adjust rates. I am a pet owner who only wants the best care for my babies but understands pet services can be expensive. Please ask if you have any questions about my rates or how I can schedule your service needs to make it financially sensible also.
