Pet care experience

Former Vet Tech/Groomer

I started caring for animals at the age of 5. Dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, turtles, birds lol. I looove animals, and I wanted to be a Veterinarian from a young age. As a kid I would train kittens to do tricks and tasks for fun, and funny enough, in my 20’s I worked at Nestle-Purina as a Lead Kitten Trainer! Who knew a position like that existed? My favorite place I worked was Little Apple Vet Hospital in Manhattan, KS- I worked there for 6 years. What I loved the most was the opportunity the Veterinarian’s gave me to learn and grow in all the different positions from Kennel tech, to Groomer, to Receptionist, and then to Vet Tech. I enjoyed getting to interact with the animals in all kinds of different ways! It was a dream come true for my 5 year old self! Now, I pet sit for many people and families, and I find it so rewarding to care for, and make their fur babies feel comfortable and at ease while they are away. Change, and separation from their favorite humans can be so hard! That’s where I come in! I provide your furry family members with the continued daily routine they’re used to, in the comfort of their own home, so they can feel safe. I also give them lots of love, daily walks, playtime, and cuddles to keep them happy while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For petsitting I’ll follow your pets daily routine with feeding, walks, and bedtime. If they don’t have a routine, that’s no problem, I’ll typically feed dogs & cats around 7am and 7pm, and I walk dogs every 2-4 hours. These are all things we will discuss at our Meet- N- Greet! For cats, I scoop litter boxes once or twice daily depending on amount of kitties, and follow their dietary routine. Plus lots and lots of snuggles and playtime in between for all pets! I am available for short or long stays, and I make sure your home looks great, and is in the same condition it was before you left, or even better if it needs any tidying up! I’m looking forward to meeting your animal companions, and getting to know all their personalities and quirks!

Heather was wonderful to our kitty while we were on vacation! She sent thoughtful updates with lots of photos daily and took extra care to make our temperamental kitty feel comfortable. We’ll be using her in the future!

House Sitting • May 03, 2026

Heather was fantastic for an overnight stay with my pup! She was with him as much as her schedule allowed to minimize his time alone, which was so appreciated. She sent great updates and pictures, which always helps! She also left the house in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her to care for my pup again!
