Pet care experience

I have plenty of experience working with dogs. I love all kinds of pets and I've had a number of different pets in the past. I'm also a freelance photographer. So, I can take cute pictures of your special fur babies. I will take care of your pet as if he/she were my own. I'm responsible and caring and will make a wonderful care taker. I'm available to take care of your pets in your home, take your pets on a walk and make visits for play time and feeding. Please feel free to reach out directly. I'm available to meet you and your pets beforehand if needed. I'm excited to know more about you and your pets and how I could help with your family. Best, Heidi

Heidi was able to accommodate me when I booked a last minute trip and even with an anxious dog like my own. She was very communicative and thoughtful with her updates, and even went out of her way to check the pet store for food when I had run out. I’d recommend her to anyone and Cannoli will for sure be back!

Heidi was absolutely wonderful on all levels, with Levi and with our family! She has been so tuned in to instructions and details pertaining to Levi and everything related to our house. From the start, she was very attentive and truly wanted to provide the best experience to Levi, asking about his routine and patterns. She was willing to let him sleep on her bed, despite Levi hogging a big space!!! Heidi sent us photos and updates throughout our long weekend. The best part is that we were not worried for one minute on our trip and that is very precious. This was our first time hiring Heidi but will definitely not be the last!

Heidi was amazing with our English bulldog, Melon, and stepped in very last minute after our original dog sitter canceled. She made us feel so comfortable being away and took great care of Melon the entire time. We really appreciated her flexibility, communication, and kindness, and would absolutely trust her to watch Melon again!

I was so happy that Heidi was available on short notice to watch Koda over the 4th of July holiday. She took excellent care of her and provided good photo updates that put my mind at ease while we were away. Koda was in great shape when we returned from our trip. We'll definitely book future stays with Heidi!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
