Building trust with tailored care
Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by animals in all different environments, ranging from working on farms in 4H, volunteering in shelters, helping with reptiles (and breeding insects for food! 🤢) and building relationships in my personal life. Through these experiences, I’ve developed proficiencies in -administering medication, -reading and adapting to body language, -developing enrichment activities, -pet grooming, and -handling multi pet households/environments Tailored, adaptive care is crucial in order to build trust and provide individualized stimulation and enrichment. My array of experience and attention to individual body language ensures I can understand each animal’s unique needs, so they can feel safe and at home with me!
Reviews
Heidi tool great care of my pup, Felix. She was very organized and made sure she had a list of questions to fully understand his routine before I went out of town. She made sure to give me updates throughout the day and was responsive to all my inquiries. I highly recommend Heidi for any of your pet care needs!
Heidi did great with Jax!
Heidi was great. We had a few changes to our travel plans and she just went right with the flow. We were impressed when we met her with her thorough questions and enjoyed the updates she sent. When we got home our dogs were happy and didn’t seem stressed at all and Heidi left us a note with details of medication that had been given, etc.
Best dog sitter ever! She’s very responsive and took great care of our dogs! We will definitely use her again!
About Heidi S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Traveling to provide in home services allows me to care for animals in an environment they’re familiar with. Whether going for walks around the neighborhood or getting to know each other around the house, I like to operate in a setting animals are established in. I believe feelings of safety and comfort are crucial to developing our connection.
Information Heidi S. would like to know about your pet
For Drop Ins and Walks, I’d love to have a quick chat (in person or over the phone) about your pet’s unique needs! When we schedule for house sitting, I’ll ask about -health & medical info (allergies, conditions, medications, vaccination status) -behavioral quirks and triggers -diet and feeding (portions, schedule, preferences) -daily routines (bathroom, sleeping) -emergency info (vet preference, emergency contact info -Any information you feel will set your pet up for success! I’m excited to discuss how I can best be there for your pet!
A typical day
There is no “typical” day when it comes to spending time with your companions! Each animal is unique, with their own needs and preferences. I’ll spend time getting to know your pet, and depending on their preferences, we might snuggle up inside and play some stationary peekaboo, or hike on trails at a park by your house trying to find the biggest stick we can each carry!
