Availability
I work a full-time, hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m happy to provide dog walks and dog/cat check-ins before or after work, depending on your pet’s routine. I’m also available for extended house-sitting stays on weekends and during the week, ensuring your pets get consistent company, care, and attention right in their own home.

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.

Reviews
Heidi was great! My cats seemed like they really liked her. They are a bit iffy about strangers, but both cats seemed to feel comfortable with her from the first day (seeing as they were both in the photos). She was very communicative during during her visits which made me feel a lot better. I'm pretty anxious about leaving my cats, but felt a lot better after her first drop-in. She takes great photos which is also comforting, since they seem to be happy in their photos. Came home to a couple of calm and satisfied kitties! I'll definitely work with heidi again!
Heidi was quick to respond (even on short notice), punctual for the drop-in appointment for my cats, and sent a bunch of photos, which I really appreciated. She’s kind and my shy cats warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Heidi!
Heidi did a great job with our girls. She followed instructions exactly and our dogs adored her. Highly recommend.
Heidi did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs while away, and went above and beyond with pictures and playing with them
