About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was always around dogs and cats, and over the years my children have also owned numerous dogs and cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, feeding, administering basic care, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take pride in providing compassionate and dependable care. After retiring from a nursing career of more than 40 years, I now have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy traveling, but I have plenty of availability to provide dependable pet care and can often accommodate pet owners’ scheduling needs. My experience in nursing taught me responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and compassion qualities that I bring to caring for every pet. Whether your pet needs regular visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I have the time and dedication to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, providing companionship, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and any other requested care. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive supervision, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and play. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!

I do have experience with senior dogs and giving them the medication and special attention needed. I am a Keuka College college student that’s works part time in Canandaigua. I am very flexible over the summer. Availability is posted on my page. I have grown up with pets and am used to taking care of them.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.
