🐾 🐈 Trusted in the South Bay · Dogs & Cats

Five rescues taught me how to care for any pet.

I'm Heather. I've raised puppies, loved seniors through their last years, calmed reactive dogs, sat skittish cats out from under the bed, and earned trust from the toughest cases. Your pet gets the same care mine do — patient, present, and never rushed.

+ yours?

The Pack — every one a rescue or raised from a pup.

What I offer

Care for the pet, not just the schedule.

Two specialties, one standard. Dogs and cats both get a sitter who actually pays attention.

🐕 For Dogs

🏠

Overnight Sitting

I stay at your place so your dog sleeps in their own bed. Same routine, less stress.

🚶

Daily Walks

Leashed, paced, and weather-aware. Sniff walks for seniors, real exercise for high-drive pups.

⏰

Drop-In Visits

30 or 60 minute check-ins for feeding, potty, meds, and playtime while you're gone.

💊

Senior & Special Needs

Medication schedules, mobility help, anxiety management — I've done it all with my own.

🐾

Reactive Dogs

Experienced with dogs aggressive toward people or other dogs. No judgment, just calm leadership.

🐶

Puppy Care

Potty training reinforcement, socialization windows, and lots of patience for the chaos phase.

🐈 For Cats

🐈

Cat Sitting Visits

Feeding, fresh water, litter scoop, play, and a real hello — not a 5-minute drive-by.

🏘️

Multi-Cat Households

Separate feeding routines, multiple litter boxes, sibling spats handled. I see you, three-cat household.

💉

Medication & Senior Cats

Pills, insulin, fluids, subQ — confident with chronic conditions and end-of-life comfort care.

🛋️

Shy & Hidden Cats

The "won't-come-out-from-under-the-bed" kind. Patient, quiet, gentle. They'll come around.

🌿

While You're Away

Plant watering, mail check, lights rotated, packages brought in — bundled with any cat sit.

📸

Daily Photo Updates

You get photos and a short note every visit so you know your cat's eating, playing, and behaving.

My five

Meet the pack.

Every pet I sit becomes part of an extended family. Here's the core crew at home — the dogs who taught me the trade.

Raider

14 years young

The wise old man. Rescued from a humane society in Indiana. Spends most days on his ottoman.

Maya

10 years · raised from a pup

Got her as a puppy. The constant. Couch supervisor and bedtime enforcer.

Honey Bun

2 years · micro bulldog

Rescued from Craigslist. The personality of a much bigger dog.

Buttercup

10 years · fluffy & sweet

Rescued as a momma from a shelter. Now living the soft life she deserves.

Harper

8 years · mange survivor

Came in at 4 months covered in mange. Today: glossy coat, wild zoomies, full heart.
