Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine alongside my full-time job. I’m able to provide dependable overnight care, as well as morning and evening walks, feedings, and plenty of attention outside of work hours. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be available for midday walks. I’m thoughtful about communication and planning, so your pet’s needs are always met and you can feel confident they’re well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat both the space and the pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with not only your pet, but your home as well. I’m mindful of routines, house rules, and any specific instructions you leave, and I make sure everything is followed closely. I’m always respectful of personal spaces and leave your home just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — and for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any medical needs or special care instructions. I also like to learn about their personality, energy level, and any triggers, anxieties, or behavioral quirks so I can make them feel comfortable and safe. Knowing what they enjoy — favorite toys, treats, or activities — helps me provide care that feels familiar and stress-free, especially for overnight stays.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and comfortable in ways that match their personality and energy level. That can mean long walks, playtime with favorite toys, backyard games, or just plenty of snuggles and companionship. I’m very much a homebody, so when I’m not at work, I’m usually at home — which means lots of time, supervision, and attention for the pets in my care. For more active dogs, I’m happy to include extra walks or structured play, and for calmer or senior pets, I focus on gentle movement, routine, and quiet time together. I always follow the pet’s usual schedule and preferences so they feel relaxed and at home, whether it’s during the day or overnight.

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of two Australian Shepherd mixes, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been trusted with pet care from a young age and truly enjoy building relationships with the pets I care for. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. I offer dependable overnight care, so you can travel or rest easy knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved in a familiar environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own.

Heather is awesome! We moved up to the area from Raleigh and were looking for a new pet sitter for our two dogs and are so happy we found Heather. She took care of our pups and even watered our plants. The dogs were so calm when we came home. Highly recommend!

Heather exceeded all of our pet-sitting expectations! My husband and I went on a week long vacation and needed a wonderful person to care for our 2dogs, 2 cats and a garden full of flowers. I could tell by our dogs demeanor that they were loved while we were gone. Can’t say enough good things about Heather - highly recommend!
