Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable tail-wagging adventures
With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every pet I work with. Growing up, I cared for farm dogs, cats, horses and goats, and since my 20s, I’ve been looking after city dogs & cats, giving me a deep understanding of a wide range of pet personalities and needs. I currently have cats at home, but I love the joy of walking dogs and exploring the outdoors with them. Whether it’s a fun beach day, a trip to the dog park, a leisurely stroll, or an urban adventure, I’m ready to make your dog’s day brighter. As a work-from-home professional, I’ve spent the last five years traveling regularly house and pet sitting, ensuring pets are cared for with love and attention while their owners are away. Let me treat your furry friend like family!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always ensure the space is secure, removing potential hazards and providing a calm, welcoming atmosphere tailored to the pet’s needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet through gentle, positive interactions, following their cues and respecting their boundaries. For in-home care, I maintain the pet’s usual routines and environment, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications if needed. I stay vigilant about safety, such as ensuring doors and gates are secure, and I provide updates to owners for peace of mind. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels happy, safe, and loved.
Ratings and reviews
Heather was amazing with my high energy zoo. They were so chill when I returned home. She provided great pics/updates along the way and took good care of my home as well. Would definitely use again and recommend!!
Heather was a hit with my senior dog Jax. He usually doesn't tolerate many people, but Heather was so kind and patient and after just one visit so easy to get along with Heather. Definitely will keep booking for the future
Heather is reliable and dependable. She has cared for my three cats while out of town on several occasions and given them all the pets and play they require. She is adept at administering medications and is attentive to the needs of my cats. Heather has a special place in her heart for pets and is amazing with our cats. 🐈 I would recommend Heather to care for your fur baby.
heather is an exceptional dog sitter and loving pet caregiver. she's been taking care of generations of our pets for 10 years. all our dogs love her and bounce all over her when she arrives. it's great to be able to go on business trips or vacations and sleep at night knowing that not only is our house taken care of, but our beloved pets go on hour long walks twice a day, are fed, loved, pampered, given the correct medication if necessary, cleaned up after. if there was such a thing a six star rating, heather would be awarded it. she's the only pet sitter you'll ever need.

Schedule
I have an extremely flexible schedule, working from home as a bookkeeper and as a mobile acupuncturist. This allows me to be available for your pets morning, noon, or night, depending on their needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can adjust my schedule to ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My flexibility also makes me a great choice for last-minute requests or unconventional schedules. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority!
