Thank you for always taking such good care of me when I stay at your house. I like it much better than a boarding kennel. It is really fun playing with Rianne and all of your dogs. It makes the time my Mom is away go faster and I don’t miss her as much. She is going away again soon so I am all set to come for another visit.
Love, Olive
Heidi was a God send to us six years ago when we brought home an adorable, but highly spirited, puppy. Having just retired, I wanted to be able to travel, and leave our dog, Cedar, with a reliable pet sitter that would train her, love her, and treat her as one of her own pets. We wanted to know that Cedar was being “Puppy Trained”, exercised, fed, and loved. Heidi was willing to open her home to caring for Cedar. Heidi’s patience and stamina with Cedar during her first year of life was outstanding. Cedar is a giant dog, weighing 105 pounds and standing 31 inches at the withers.
Not everyone can manage a large dog, but Heidi’s experience as an obedience trainer, has allowed her to be a fantastic care giver. She has a very relaxed manner of handling Cedar, with loving, but direct, commands of obedience. She also is an experienced pet owner, having four dogs of her own. Heidi has a fenced yard that allows Cedar supervised exercise with the other dogs. Heidi is exceptionally dedicated to her work, and communicates well with us. She carefully follows the special instructions that must be addressed concerning Cedar’s needs. We call Heidi when a trip comes up, and she will always work Cedar into her family’s schedule. She has also taken the time to transport Cedar from our home to her home. She has cared for Cedar during 15 trips, ranging in length from a weekend to two weeks. We currently have four trips scheduled with her during this coming year. When Cedar returns from a visit to Heidi’s she is exhausted from having so much fun. Heidi is willing to go the extra mile, she is super enthusiastic, reliable, and dependable. She loves Cedar, and is, indeed, a blessing to us.

I’m very grateful to have Heidi as a pet sitter for our cats. My job as a horse trainer and riding instructor can take me away from home during the day for long stretches of time. One of our cats is a diabetic. Heidi monitors him with regular visits during the day and also gives him his insulin if no one can be home at his injection times. She gives the cat’s attention and affection when she is here. I completely trust her reliability, integrity, and expertise. I don’t know how I would manage my business without her!

"First of all let me say that we were completely impressed with your services and the notes you left for us, with the photos, were so nice to get. It let us see just how their week went. So many started with "Petted Spook" we were astounded at that, nobody pets Spook, he does not normally allow it! It gave us a great laugh.
You certainly went above and beyond the call and we are grateful and SATISFIED customers."
"Thank you so much for your excellent care of Spook, Mouse & our herds of fish!
Warm Regards,
Gail & Jammie
And the added bonus of watering flowers & mail was exceptional!"
Heidi is an absolutely wonderful sitter for our two cats Bob and Benson. In addition to exceptional care for the cats, including TV time with Bob (he loves to watch Animal Planet!), and making sure to pet Benson who tends to hide from everyone but immediate family (Heidi knows his hiding spot!), she also waters our flowers and plants if needed, brings our mail and newspapers in, and turns down blinds for the night. One of the biggest differences I've noticed with Heidi, is that the cats are completely happy and relaxed when we return home from vacation. They are no longer sullen and skittish - they greet us at the door! We can truly tell she spends quality time with them while we are away.
