Pet care experience

Lifetime Friend of Animals

I have always had pets in my life. When I was growing up, we would often adopt dogs and cats needing a loving home into our family! I also grew up sharing my home with adopted rabbits, birds, hamsters, and fish. I am a 20 year veteran teacher and would love to spend some of my summer time helping you take care of your fur babies.

I have known Heather for over 25 years and found her to be an animal person to the core. She has always seemed to have multiple pets in her household at a time and I watch her as she cuddles both her cats and dogs. She is sensitive to their needs as can be seen when she takes her senior dog for walks and is aware when her dog has had enough and will end the walk to take him home. Sometimes that is only to the end of the block but she makes sure that baby is able to get out. Her empathy towards animals is apparent in her attention to every need of the animal.

Heather is incredible with animals and has been working with them her whole life. She is such a kind and respectful soul and would be a wonderful caretaker for your fur babies!

Heather has been surrounded by animal families her whole life. As an adult, she has often chosen to adopt the pet that most needed a home and then nurtured them through a long happy life. Examples of this are the orange tabby she adopted with a missing back leg who promptly became the boss.... and a beautiful lab, named Luna, adopted from a shelter as a young pup, the day before she was going to be euthanized. Luna is now 17 and still enjoying life with the family cat, Kate. Heather is a natural caregiver that animals instantly gravitate to and there's not much that scares her. She easily takes command so the pets feel safe and are easy to manage. Heather has cared for my dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and birds with ease and competence. She's well organized, creative, strong and kind hearted. Your home and your animals will be in good hands while you're away and the long list that all of us pet parents make late into the night will be followed to a T. I have entrusted my pets to her over many years and have never been disappointed. Once you invite her to meet your pets you will see that your time away from them will be worry free and they will have a new friend. Linda W.

I'm coming to the end of my school year and have late afternoons into evenings free during the week, as well as full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can do earlier mornings during the week if needed, but only for drop ins for morning feedings.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a senior dog and cat in my home, so I will only be offering services at client's homes. My services include walking your dog, playing catch, lap time with kitty cats, belly rubs and more! Although you will see photos of my family with our pets in my profile, I will be taking care of your pet(s) without any assistance from others, and would be the only one coming to your home to visit or stay with your pet.

Pets

A typical day

I will make sure to get detailed information from you about your pets likes and dislikes. Are they active and want to play a lot? Point me to their favorite toy, and I'll tire them out with play. Are they cuddlers? We'll sit together and cuddle to your fur baby's heart's content.
