Availability

I am a virtual high school teacher with a flexible schedule. I spend most of my days at home, allowing me to provide your 4-legged family member with unlimited supervision, playtime/rest, and potty breaks. My work-from-home schedule is 10:00am-6:30pm. If I were to leave, it would be to the gym. However, I would do my best to plan accordingly so I do not have outside commitments when pet sitting. My goal is to treat your pet as my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fenced yard for the loving furbabies to play. It is also a quiet neighborhood so the walks are relaxing. When pets stay with me they have their own guest room which is also my office so they will be with me all day and night. There are 2 XXL crates (approx. 4’x3’) and 1 large which can be prep for use if needed or recommended by owner.

Information Heidi G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is a specific feeding schedule, special diet, needs, etc. Although I will be hosting the pet in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as close as possible to what they would experience at home with their pet parent. This helps with mitigating anxiety and stress, helping the pet relax and feel more comfortable in their home away from home.

A typical day

Every few hours the pets will have a fun break along with their potty break. We will go outside and play fetch, run, walk, etc.

Heidi was amazing, she wrote me every day letting me know about Diesel, sending me pictures and videos of him. First time he stayed with other dogs and I was pleased to hear he had a blast running and playing. Definitely will rebook.

Heidi was amazing with my two dogs. We were out of state for almost two weeks, and Heidi sent me updates and pictures daily. I could tell my dogs were smiling and having a great time in the pictures! 😀 That made me feel so happy and relieved to know they were in good hands. Heidi is an awesome animal care provider. We will definitely rebook with her again in the future!!

Heidi did a great job taking care of our little senior papillon, Luna. We were worried since Luna is 15 and is mostly deaf and blind and is very skittish, but Heidi got her to eat after a few days and catered to her needs. Will be using Heidi again in the future!
