About: I have been providing dog and cat care for friends and family over 30 years. I am very attentive to animal emotional and physical needs. I am currently unemployed and available at any time with reasonable advanced notice. I can do overnight or day sitting as well as potty break/walking visits. I have plenty of outdoor space to take pets on leashed walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on nature hikes with difficulty based on age and ability.

“Rachel was an outstanding dog sitter for our separation anxiety prone pup. Junie was taken on many adventures and treated with care and compassion so she was happy and comfortable while we were away. 10/10 would highly recommend for any of your dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently care for two 4-month-old pups and an 8-year-old cat. I provide dependable, loving care that pets feel comfortable with from day one. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I have three of my own—a cat and two 4-month-old puppies. I keep them on a consistent schedule and am actively teaching the puppies basic commands like potty training and sitting. While I work a full-time job during the year, in the summers I take on two part-time jobs, which gives me even more flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own and make sure they feel truly loved and cared for. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust to their needs and routines. My goal is always to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible—for both pets and their owners.

About: I have a soft spot for animals of any kinds, and dogs are no exception. My love of animals later lead me to get trainer certified at Petco, and later trained my first service dog for a veteran. From puppy's to older ones, dog for me are no problem. Iv trained everything for few week old pups to old ones. You can generally teach dogs new tricks at any age. I also have perfected a (almost) treatless method that iv used on big to small. If one is patient, it is effective. These are beings in our care and they deserve to be treated well in a way they understand, which is typically pets and praise and a treat every now and then their way This is my job, my hobbies as a droneir fits around it. The needs of your furry family is what takes priority as you lead on with the adventure of life. I'll make sure they stay well taken care of From full time to as needed, sitting required consistant messages and sometimes that extra training. Our furry family members are very important. They need that special care that a calm demeanor like I have can give

“Teri is so clearly an animal lover. Took outstanding care of my cat, going above and beyond, and is highly reliable and responsive. Fully recommend!!”

DESERT72563, https://www.rover.com/sit/desert72563 Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine involves tasks such as feeding, grooming, exercise, and companionship. Setting aside specific times each day for feeding and play/exercise sessions, schedule regular grooming sessions based on my pet's needs, and ensuring to spend quality time bonding with my pet. It's also important to factor in veterinarian appointments, cleaning up after my pet, and providing mental stimulation through training or enrichment activities. 1. Feeding: Following feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions. Ensure that fresh water is always available for the pets. 2. Exercise and Playtime: Engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. This can include activities like walking, playing with toys, or interactive play with us. 3. Grooming: Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Brush their fur regularly, trim their nails when necessary, and keep their ears and teeth clean. 4. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, regularly clean the litter box to ensure hygiene and prevent any litter box issues. Replace the litter as needed. 5. Medication and Health Care: If my pet requires medication, follow the instructions provided by the (vet) administer it as directed.

Communication with the Patrons: Maintaining open and clear communication with the pet patrons. I will provide regular updates on the pet's well-being, any concerns or issues that arise, and I will follow any specific instructions or preferences patrons may have. Remembering, every pet is unique, so it's important to tailor care to their individual needs. Always prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets I am responsible for.

“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!”
