Veterinarian loving all like my own
Pet care experience
Current veterinarian at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital looking to provide excellent care for your pets to offset costs associated with recently graduating veterinary school and moving. I have been in the animal health industry professionally for over 10 years and have owned personal pets my entire life. I recently graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Manhattan, KS. I provide in home pet-sitting, drop by visits, dog-walking, in-home grooms, nail trims, and am able to administer any and all medications (oral meds, topical, injections, fluid therapy) if need be. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes/personalities, cats, exotics (what I am specializing in), and even large animals such as sheep, goats, cattle or horses. Additionally, I have plenty of experience with fear-aggressive, anxious, and/or scared animals as well. I work and teach full-time so my schedule can be intense but I am more than open to discuss with each individual their pet care needs and help out in any way I can whether than be taking care of your fur babies myself or pointing you to someone else trustworthy who can!
Reviews
Heidi was a fantastic sitter. Both of our pets loved her. She sent pictures, took our pup to the park and made sure everything went smoothly. 10/10 would book with her again!
Heidi was very communicative, punctual and sweet to our Kuma. We will definitely use her again.

Information Heidi F. would like to know about your pet
General temperament and if they have any specific preferences to things being done a certain way (walks, playtime, toys, feeding routines etc). I do not mind working with shy, vocal, fearful animals as long as I am aware of important personality traits prior to hanging out with them!
A typical day
It is important to me to discuss a dog's routine with each owner first to figure out the best way to both entertain and stimulate a dog to provide the best care while their owner is away. Each dog or cat has a different energy level and activity preference so I try to cater my activities to what they will each enjoy and get the most from.
