Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect as I do your pet—maintaining your space, keeping things tidy, and respecting your privacy at all times. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that everything is being cared for responsibly.

Information Heidi R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any health or medical needs such as allergies to certain foods or conditions that would require medications. I also want to know about your pet’s behavior and temperament around other dogs, cats, kids, or new people.

A typical day

I love giving pets the opportunity for an outdoor adventure! Whether that be a long walk through the park or playing backyard fetch or frisbee. I am also happy to provide them with calm activities such as gentle brushing or cuddles and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Heidi, and I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate care for your pets. I have 4 years of experience working as a Vet Tech Assistant in a veterinary clinic, where I assisted veterinarians with complex medical procedures, patient monitoring, and hands-on animal care. Along with my clinical background, I also have years of personal experience caring for my own dogs and cats. I’ve had pets throughout much of my life, and while I don’t currently have any at home, it means I can give your pets my full attention during walks, drop-ins, or house-sitting visits. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a long walk, quiet companionship, help following a medical routine, or someone calm and confident with nervous animals, I’m here to help and keep them feeling safe and cared for in their own home.

10/10 My cats loved Heidi and we felt so comfortable while being away. Heidi communicated with me and kept us posted the entire time. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Heidi

Heidi took INCREDIBLE care of our two kitties. She knows how to love on, care for, & play with cats which is rare. Will absolutely be booking her in the future and highly recommend 😊
