About Heather

Hi there!

My name is Heather!

Animals are my #1 passion in life, and having had pets all of my life, I understand that they are family; and I will give yours the same love, respect and dedication that I give my own.

I have been a caregiver for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, small animals, birds and reptiles) my entire life. I have taken that love and devotion and turned it into my career;

I have been working with dogs of varying breeds for over 15 years, including rescue dogs, and am trained as a VN, with a certificate in canine behaviour.

I have over 20 years extensive experience with cats. I specialize in feline medicine and behaviour, and a feline behaviouralist.I have been a cat sitter for many years, and I have extensive experience with cats with behavioural problems; having worked with many cats over the years aiding their transition from feral to domesticated in order to be adopted. I have done cat caring at Cats Protection UK and was an outreach teacher for them for several years; teaching at schools across London about cats and their welfare, and also was the coordinator for Waltham Forest branch.

For me, pet sitting is not a hobby but my career that I am devoted to; I am passionate about it and genuinely care about your pet(s).

When I sit your pet, I play with them, give them affection - as well as take care of their needs. They are given 4 walks a day, and, aside from having a plethora of a variety of toys, lick, snuffle mats and puzzles for stimulation, there is a treasure chest where you pet gets to choose a toy - which they also get to take home with them!

I hope to hear from you soon and potentially meet your lovely pet!
