Loving, friendly pet companion

Pet care experience

I'm a librarian who loves to help out with pets and houses. I often take time to read to your pet and will happily send you pictures of how we are getting along. I'm trustworthy and reliable, and pets love me. I'm comfortable delivering food or medication and am happy to help with vet visits as well as regular dog sitting. Cats love me too, and I've tended birds and reptiles as well (including iguanas and geckos and snakes). I can do light housekeeping, if you want - just ask. Feel free to ask me to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you are away. I accept long term assignments and one off afternoon visits, and everything in between. I do weekends as well as weekdays. Excellent references.

Heidi helped us out in a tight spot over Thanksgiving and was a great sitter for our dogs! Very communicative and kind. Both dogs were very relaxed when we returned home and the place was in better shape than we left it! We would certainly recommend Heidi!

Heidi was a great find for my time away from home. She was responsible and stayed in communication before, after and during her stay at my home with my dog, Briggs. They got along well, which was obvious when she came by and Briggs practically knocked her down to give her doggie hugs and kisses. Heidi is reliable and affectionate which were both major criteria for dog sitting in my book. Canine and owner approved!

So thankful Heidi spent the day with Lucy. She always keeps me updated on the visits. It’s nice to know Lucy is in good hands!

I felt like I left Lucy with a member of my family. Heidi sent me daily messages and updates to let me know how Lucy was getting along. I never worried a minute and enjoyed my vacation knowing Lucy was in such good hands. My flight was also delayed and Heidi offered to add a drop in to make sure Lucy had dinner. I will definitely ask Heidi to help out again.

Let me know if there's anything in particular that will help your dog be comfortable while you're away! I enjoy spending quality time together with pets.

I like to take the dogs out for walks or play ball with them a few times a day, usually before meals or when best suits their usual routine.

I'm a graduate student, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I'm available most weekends, and my booking day typical runs from afternoon to lunch the next day. If you need an early arrival or later stay, we can add that, too!
