Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I have one cat, who has been around dogs, lived with a dog and is used to the occasional dog being boarded in our home. He is fine with dogs as long as the dogs are calm towards him. I would not be able to host in my home any very young dogs that may want to “play” with my cat as he is older and also has no interest in being friends with a dog. He is very non-aggressive and tends to mostly avoid them whenever I board.

Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet

Temperament, likes and dislikes, how well they play with other pets, how much care will they need (i.e. will they need meds, are they high energy), how well do they handle you being away

A typical day

I can throw the ball or frisbee and play with them outdoors. I am happy to walk them as long as they are good on a leash. My 9 year old is also a perfect companion to burn off their energy and I bring her with me sometimes to help with that!

Experienced cat/dog sitter

Pet care experience

I have had pets my whole life ranging from cats to birds to fish. I also love dogs and so does my 9 year old daughter and my husband. I have cared for family members, neighbors and friends animals (cats and dogs) for many years. My cat is 19 years old and I have also had to say goodbye to my baby, Daphnie who I had from the time she was a baby until she passed away, and my other baby Willow, who we rescued when we lived in Hawaii and was a part of our family for about 10 years. I am therefore familiar with senior care for animals. I’ve administered oral, topical and iv meds (yes I did that home with one of my cats near the end of her life). I love to walk and run and have always enjoyed taking dogs for a walk when I’ve cared for the pets of others. I have even cared for a few rowdy young dogs that were still in puppy training school. I have been pet sitting on River for about 3 years. I’ve done many drop in visits, boarding and dog walks for my clients.

Heather provided the most wonderful care for our 3 fur babies! We appreciated her/her daughter coming twice a day to feed/play with our Ares. Artemis and Athena! It was wonderful to know that my kitties were in wonderful hands! She provided top notch communication with regular updates and photos, allowing us to enjoy our vacation and know our kitties were being well cared for, thank you Heather!

This was Heather's third time caring for our 2 cats. Once again, she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone we can consistently trust makes such a difference when we travel. She checked on them twice a day, made sure both of our cats were fed on schedule, administered their medications carefully, and kept everything clean and tidy. Also, we really appreciate the updates and peace of mind she provides while we’re away.
