Pet care experience

Lots of time and energy to share

I am a mom of 2 college-aged kids. I work from home and have time and love to share. I have owned my own pets since graduating from college. My family has been blessed with multiple dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. We no longer live on a farm but live in a very animal-friendly subdivision with abundant sidewalks for dog walking. My daughter and I are animal lovers and have fostered 4 puppies and numerous adult dogs waiting for transportation to their furever homes. We also volunteer seasonally with the Humane Society of Cozumel and assist with spay/neuter recovery. We welcome the energy that 4-legged visitors bring to our home. We have an adopted, aging chihuahua mix who is not very active. I would love to talk to you and meet your babies before either of us makes a commitment. Of course, it has to be a good fit. Your confidence and trust in a pet-sitter is crucial. I believe I can be the one to love and care for your baby like you do. I live in the Sw suburbs and have a large fenced backyard that backs up to a wooded area. We have lots of great sidewalks for taking long walks with little traffic.

I highly recommend Heather! She took such wonderful care of Chocolate, our 5-year-old Labrador. She treated him with so much love and care, and we truly appreciated the daily photos and updates. They gave us so much peace of mind while we were away and helped us feel confident knowing he was in great hands. Heather will definitely be our first choice the next time we travel and need someone to care for our furry baby. We are so grateful for everything she did for Chocolate! ❤️

This was our first time booking with Heather. She did a meet and greet before our booking date to make sure we were a good fit. Our pup had fun playing in the backyard during the meet and greet and during his stay. We would definitely book with Heather again!

Heather was very welcoming and great with the girls. She took time to get to know them and spent most of her time with them. They loved her baby bunny smelling back yard. I would definitely take them back.
