Pet care experience
I was raised on a horse farm, so taking care of animals has always been part of my daily life. In addition to taking care of my family's horses, dogs, cats, gerbils, and fish throughout the years, I have been professionally house sitting since 2014. I have experience providing loving care for dogs and cats of all ages, including those with special diets, medication, or other intricate routines.
Reviews
Heidi did a great job taking care of our older cats. She was thorough and professional when noting our care instructions, so I felt comfortable knowing our pets were being well taken care of!
Heidi did an amazing job with our chiweenie, who has separation anxiety. She made him feel like his people never left :) She was also very communicative and kept us up to date on all the happenings while we were away. We are hiring her again for house/pet sitting in the near future!
Heidi was incredible. She watched our home for 4 days and took care of our dog. We returned from our vacation and it was like we had never left. She was very attentive, had constant valuable communication, and was not afraid to ask questions. She was a dream house sitter, you will not be disappointed if you rely on her services.
Heidi is an amazing dog caretaker. Heidi dogsat for my dog, Olive, last year while I was on vacation and she took extraordinary care of her. Heidi would take Olive out for walks at least 2-3 times a day, would feed her food to help her diet and medical needs, and actively trained Olive while I was gone. You see, Olive is reactive to other dogs, which can pose a problem during walks. Heidi was able to start training Olive to calm down when she saw other dogs, making walk time much more manageable. Overall, Heidi was responsible, trustworthy, and a exceedingly competent dog sitter and caretaker.

I like to be aware of not only your dog’s needs, but their preferences as well so that I can take the best care of them possible. Favorite toys? Favorite scratching spots? I want to know about them!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks and play with them at home. If they like being around other dogs, I’m happy to take them to the dog park. I enjoy exploring DC while helping pups get the exercise they need.
