Quality cuddles for all your pets

Pet care experience

Ive been providing loving and quality pet care for over 20 years. I have experience in medication management, specialty diets, etc...I have had over 20 dogs and cats personally in my life and am well known for immediately gaining trust with the animals i care for. I can care for even the most difficult animals with kindness, tenderness, and love. Most of my clients are repeat and word of mouth referrals and I can honestly say that caring for animals in their home environments is one my best qualities and skills.

From the first time she offered dogsitting/housesitting for my three small, adorable, annoying and needy dogs, Heather felt like family. She was so patient and accommodating with the dogs. She pays attention to their needs, and addresses changes in their routines. Heather communicates as little or as much as you prefer. She will send videos and pictures of the dogs periodically, and if anything comes up, she is not afraid to reach out and ask questions. She has stayed in our home many times, and is lovely about leaving it in as good of condition or better than she found it. Our house isn't easy to housesit at certain times of the year, but Heather is so reliable, that she will build a fire and navigate a snowy driveway if needed. There was an occasion that she was snowed in, and we were snowed out, and she just made it work. Knowing that Heather is so caring, thoughtful, and responsible has allowed our family to leave home with peace of mind that our home and furry family will be safe and well cared for as long as we are gone. She's truly amazing at this work.

Heather has been caring for my 3 cats and 3 chickens for the past couple years, EVERY time we go out of town. She is incredibly reliable and loving, and always takes extra time to stay and cuddle with my kitties. Heather always sends a couple pics so I can see how well everyone is doing, that is really comforting. I highly recommend Heather!

Heather has pet/home sat for me on numerous occasions. She is polite, kind, and very flexible. My circus is not always easy to manage with 30+ chickens, 8 cats, and two dogs. She takes wonderful care of my babies and keeps me updated with pictures and texts soni know they are safe. I 100% would recommend her to anyone.

Where to start! Heather is attentive to our babies needs (I have A house mate whose kitty she also takes care of), she loves on them and sends us videos or photos of them when she arrives and throughout her stay. She’s the best! Highly recommend her

Information Heather W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they’re reactive to other dogs or animals, if they are reactive to strangers, and if they’re leash trained. I also like to meet the dogs ahead of my visit/stay so that they can meet me and get familiar with me and so I can get a rundown on routine and the home.

A typical day

I love going for walks and hikes and if the dogs I care for are physically able and have leash training, then I love to take them with me. I follow the dogs lead for playtime be it fetch or tug o war or whatever they enjoy doing. I keep them in their routine as best I can and follow their lead for playtime.
