Information Heidi L. would like to know about your pet

I like to have written instructions for feeding (and especially meds) so I will take lots of notes :) It’s also helpful to know how you discipline your pets, and what kind of play they prefer.

A typical day

I know how important familiar routines can be when your pet is upset about you leaving. I’ll do everything I can to keep them happy and busy!

Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I have fostered both dogs and cats in the past. From childhood to the present day, a home is not complete without some form of animal companion. I tend to be an early riser and am very flexible. Cleaning up after myself as well as your pets is my specialty. I enjoy camping and antiquing when there’s no critters to hang out with. I am familiar with many types of leash and collar. I prefer to keep a dog heeled on most of the walk, letting them run and play when it’s appropriate to do so. If you have a preferred method of control I’m happy to accommodate. I’m comfortable giving meds and have experience with all kinds of feeding. When sitting, I’d love to water your plants and get the mail-any little extras that you need.

Heidi is absolutely wonderful! Penguin adores her and I always feel so much better when she’s able to stop in and give him love while I’m gone!

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.
