Heather is a dream sitter! She takes such great care of our three dogs (all different sizes). We have an older dog with a fairly intense medication schedule that we trust her with completely. Our pups are always excited to see her and look happy and content in all the pics she's sends us while we are away. I would highly recommend her and know your pets would love her!

Leaving my dog is so hard when I have to travel, but knowing she is home with someone who loves pets and has a primary focus to ensure she is cared for and happy, makes it so much easier to relax and enjoy your time away. Heather does such a phenomenal job making sure you know your pet is doing well and sends daily photos to help you see it for yourself. She also is very detail oriented and does whatever needed to keep your pets routine as normal as possible to help them not feel stressed while you are away. We are so grateful for her and how happy our dog was during her stay. Highly recommend her and the wonderful care she offers.

Heather is wonderful with pets. My 2 cats like her very much. Heather is punctual, responsible and respects instructions on how to care for your pet which is vital to us. We really appreciate her and her work ethic. She has been a life saver, she was able to pet sit in a moment when I needed her the most. My grandmother whom I adore past away suddenly and I needed to fly unexpectedly and she was able to accomodate me last minute. I am so grateful for her. Thank you so much Heather!!!

Just returned from a five day trip and Heather was absolutely awesome! My two small dogs and cat are doing great. Heather is honest and trustworthy and always kept me posted. She shared photos of the dogs walking and relaxing on the couch. She was honest and told me when my elderly baby wouldn’t eat. She asked where she could find cat treats and then send me pictures of a happy kitty. I am super relieved that now I have a pet/house sitter that I can trust. I highly recommend Heather.
