Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all!

Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any allergies or problems with food. Behavioral issues such as fear aggression or toy aggression do not mean that your fluffer cannot stay with me - I have alot of experience with behavioral issues - but I do need to know beforehand in order to provide a safe environment for them and for my pack. I also need emergency contact numbers.

A typical day

Game time is a favorite! Dogslove puzzles! They also really enjoy their peanut butter kong time. Going for walks down trails is always fun if they are energetic. Cats love the cardboard castles I build for them.

Pets

Animal rescuer turned sitter!

Pet care experience

Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby.

My dogs absolutely loved having Heather stay with them. We were gone 12 days and Heather gave them lots of love, exercise, and attention.

We love having our boy stay with Heather when we’re away. As soon as he sees her his tail starts wagging! She has a lot of experience with dogs and doesn’t mind giving him his meds. She even sends us pictures during his stay. We like knowing he’s safe, well taken care of, and happy.
