Pet care experience

Pets come first! 🥰 All the 💕

I was born with a love for animals of all kinds. I have cared for my own starting with cats since I was young. I then helped care for horses as a young girl into my teens then later in my 40’s. My real love for dogs came when we rescued our first pup from save a dog in 2002 when she was 8 weeks old. I never went anywhere without her. She was in our wedding. We rescued her sister 3 yrs later a yellow lab mix who was just a fun goody good girl. They loved our babies we had and chickens as we introduced them they became great friends. Then they welcomed our little Shiba Inu, Thor with open arms who is the sweetest boy ever, now 4. I have always been the go to person for friends and friends of friends, and family to watch their beloved pets when needed. I love spending any time I can with all kinds of animals. I am happiest when I get to walk the dogs, take them swimming, for a car ride or just playing in the yard. My dogs have always come first and I don’t ever really go anywhere unless they can come too. Our two girl dogs lived to be 16 3/4 and it broke all our hearts when it came time to say good bye. We recently said goodbye to our last oldest dog and I keep having dogs over to play with our young pup to cheer him up and it’s helped immensely! I would love to open up my time to help care for others pets who don’t like leaving theirs home either.

Safety, trust & environment

I have high gates at our doors and a big fenced yard with gates in the front. We plan to put a smaller fenced area out back with a 6ft fence. I have a 4.5 yr old 40lb male Shiba Inu who just loves a good game of catch me if you can with other dogs. He is the sweetest sharer, very empathetic and is use to older/Sr and well behaved dogs. I am have a lower finished walk out family level where I work that if needed could keep your dog separate too. I don’t mind bathing your dog either if they don’t mind it and it’s needed.

Heidii was an absolutely fabulous pet sitter for us. We have a super shy Kitty who doesn't like anybody and she fell in love with Heidii. We got regular photos and videos and she was very well cared for. Would strongly recommend Heidii as a pet sitter and we will be using her again.

Heidii dropped in twice a day to care for our cat Patches while we were away for a week. We appreciated her timely visits, cleaning up after him, grooming and playing with him. Loved all the amazing pictures that she sent, showing that he was content without us. Also thanks to her daughters that gave him extra love and attention! 😻

Heidii was wonderful! She watched Pepper for several hours on consecutive days when we were in town for a short vacation. She was easy to communicate with, prompt, flexible, and super friendly. Pepper loved hanging out with her and really enjoyed all the fun walks. I will definitely reach out to Heidii again when we are next in town. Really a terrific Rover experience!
