Pet care experience

Professional, family-style pet care

Hey there! I've been around animals and providing care since my early childhood. My love for animals lead to several years of experience working in the veterinary field, even to the point of Veterinary College until my family expanded. My background has helped provide training that allows me to provide professional and specialized care for a variety of pets. I am comfortable with giving medications, etc. so you don't have to worry about your pets getting the custom care they need. I am happy to accommodate for special requests when possible to help you and your pets feel comfortable.

We booked last minute for the next day while we floated. We were worried not knowing exactly when the float would end but Heather was very kind and we were able to enjoy the day stress free. We received pictures of our dog settling in and throughout the day, which we loved. Would definitely book with Heather again!

Heather was outstanding in watching my young, energetic female pit bull. I would recommend her to anyone in need of assistance with their pets!

Heather took great care of my cat while I was out of the state for several days. She truly understands what animals need while their loved ones are away and she did just that for our sweet boy! Her veterinary background also made me feel so comfortable having her watching my kitty and for that, I highly recommend.

Heather was amazing with our cats! She was very tentative and made sure they got the best care ever. Her kindness and support is exactly what we needed when we were away. 100% recommend!

In order for me to provide the best customized care for your pets safety and wellbeing, please share about any behavioral issues, likes/dislikes, health concerns, medications, special dietary needs, or anything else that you feel is important. Even though I have different areas to help keep pets separate if needed, please keep in mind that I do have cats and a young child in the home. I would also prefer that your pets are up to date on vaccines. Thank you!
