Pet care experience

Your pet will be treated as Family!

Hello my name is Heather Rae! I am animal lover through and through. I am very excited to meet you and your pets. I know it is hard to leave your pets when you are away. It is my job to make this process easy for you and them. I will stay at your home while you are gone, so that your pets will be comfortable and in their normal surroundings. I will also be able to keep an eye on your home, water plants, bring in the mail, taken trash bins to the curb and back. This will leave you with an added bonus of having a house sitter too. Your pet will not be just a client to me, we will become friends. During our meet and greet I will learn your pets daily routine to make sure that they are able to keep as closely to their normal routine as possible. So that you know your pet is having fun I will be sending you pictures and updates through our time together. Letting you know their behaviors and what fun things we may have done together that day. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, blind, deaf, dietary restrictions and/or oral medications. Oh, I am experienced with exotic pets and chickens as well. I have been around animal my entire life and know the amount of joy they bring to our lives. I'd love to learn more about your pet so I can provide them with the best care. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! Now let's set up that meet and greet!

Heather was great - connected with the animals, left our home in great shape and was a good communicator (much better than we were!!). Would love to have you again!

Heather was great with our boy! Very communicative with us, lots of cute pics and updates throughout the trip! She’s very considerate and gratitude when our flights got delayed coming home! We look forward to working with her again in the future.

I would like to know all your pets quirks and what they enjoy the most. What they have known issues about so that I can keep a close eye on those things. Learn about daily routines and eating habits. Learn if they are allowed treats for good behavior. All knowledge is good in my eyes.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
