About: As a dedicated pet care provider, my priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and at home—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own space. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to personalized care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I tailor my approach accordingly. I have experience with all ages and breeds, from playful puppies needing structured training and consistency to senior pets requiring gentle care and extra patience. My focus on creating a calm and nurturing environment helps reduce stress for pets while their families are away. Additionally, my pet care services are designed with flexibility in mind—whether it’s dog boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I pride myself on maintaining clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. Ultimately, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care is an essential part of my daily life, and I strive to create a flexible and accommodating schedule for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I ensure that each pet receives the care, attention, and structure they need. I also understand that life happens, so I’m flexible with cancellations or scheduling changes—I just ask for at least 48-72 hours’ notice before booking to ensure I can accommodate everyone properly. When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a welcoming, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, cozy spots to rest, and safe access to the outdoors. I follow each pet’s specific routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s providing playtime, administering medications, or offering gentle care to senior pets, I ensure every pet feels like part of the family. I also have a young son (under 2 years old), so I take extra care to ensure that both your pet and my child are comfortable with one another. Safety and a stress-free environment are my priorities, so I introduce pets to my home in a way that respects their boundaries while ensuring a positive and harmonious atmosphere for everyone. For dog boarding and daycare, I offer supervised play, structured walks, and a balance of activity and rest, tailored to the pet’s energy level and preferences. I prioritize safety, keeping a close eye on all pets during interactions and ensuring they always feel secure. When providing care in a client’s home, I take a respectful and professional approach. I adhere to established routines, maintain cleanliness, and ensure the home is left just as it was found. I offer drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, providing feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to home security, making sure doors are locked and pets are safe when I leave. Regardless of the service, I maintain open communication with pet parents by providing regular updates and photos, so they always know how their furry family member is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, offering reliability, compassion, and exceptional care.

I recently had the pleasure of having her and her family take care of my pet, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Heather was incredibly reliable and provided exceptional care. She made sure to take my pet on regular walks and kept me updated with photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated and made me feel super comfortable. Her friendly demeanor and attentiveness made me feel confident that my pet was in great hands.”

“Finally found a great boarding place for Harley! Harley had a nice large space and outdoor run. In a quite county setting, which is just like home away from home. It was nice to be able to use a camera app to peek in on him from time to time. Harley was calm and happy during his boarding. This was a fantastic boarding experience for Harley, which takes the stress out of leaving him at boarding in the future.”

“Queenisha is a wonderful and caring person. Not just with her family and friends but also with pets. She has taken care of both of my pets for the past 5 years and they jump on her and love her like they do myself. She is attentive, patience and loving.”
