Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Medication-Savvy Care
I bring over 11 years of hands-on pet care experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have cared for four of my own dogs across sizes, ages, and temperaments, from puppies to seniors, and two cats from kittenhood through senior years. I have also cared for several pets of family and friends while out of town. I am experienced with administering oral medications, injections, and managing emergency health situations, including chronic and special needs care such as bladder issues. I use positive reinforcement training with treats and clickers and have even trained my cat to use a cat wheel. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s physical and emotional needs. I carry Professional Pet Sitter's Liability Insurance, just in case things don't go according to plan. I also have a green thumb and would love to take care of your house plants or garden while you are away. Have a special request? Just ask!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintain secure entry and exit practices, and keep pets on short leashes unless otherwise requested. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering brisk exercise walks or relaxed sniff walks. I monitor behavior and health closely and will notify you immediately of any concerns. I am experienced with emergency situations and medication routines and prioritize calm, attentive care that helps pets feel secure while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much Heidi for taking great care of our fussy older cat. We truly appreciate you.
Heidi’s the most thoughtful, communicative and caring.
Thank you for taking such amazing care of Hugo! (And Sushi too!) I can tell he got lots of exercise and attention and a good brushing before I got back :)
Heidi is an excellent sitter. She is kind and a great communicator, our pups love her. Highly recommend her.
Heidi was amazing. Great communication before during and after the visit. Assured me my kitty was safe and happy. Even brought the garbages up! Thank you!
Highly recommend Heidi!! This was our first time leaving our two dogs without a family member to take care of them and she kept them happy and very well cared for. I appreciated her detailed notes after each visit and felt I had left my dogs in very good and capable hands.

Schedule
Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog and cat throughout the day, so my schedule is already structured around feeding, walks, medications, and check-ins. I am partially remotely employed and available seven days a week, with flexible hours for drop-in visits, dog walks, and small animal care. I can reliably accommodate last-minute requests and consistent recurring schedules. I currently have several recurring clients over the lunch hour, and may not be fully available during that time frame. Please inquire for scheduling details.
