About Heather

**I have returned from my break after my own cat passed away. Grief is an ongoing process but I am ready to share my love and care with your loved ones once again.**

I exclusively specialise in cats!

I'm an avid cat lover and have owned and lived with cats my entire life although my most recent cat of 14 years has recently passed away. It's sad but it does make catsitting a bit easier to organise. I treasure the time I get to spend meeting and spending time with your cats, they are so different, funny and weird in their own ways.

I've been house and petsitting for friends and then friends of friends through referrals for years. I've been sitting through Pawshake since 2015.

I have my own car so travel to your place is easy. I prefer Northside bookings and live in Wavell Heights.

As your pet sitter I would take as much care with your pets as I would want taken with my own. I will spend quality time with your pet; play, attention, affection I'm a pro at cleaning litter boxes, dishing out meals and refreshing water. I will take photos and send you daily updates. When doing house visits the time I spend with your pets will always be anough to do everything your pet needs and to give them quality attention and affection.

I do not like to set specific time limits on housevisits as sometimes I have more time available to spend with them, sometimes it is not apparent until I am there and you are away that the cat needs extra time to relax before seeking affection. Alternatively some cats are particularly nervous and do not want me around for long or will not eat while i'm in the house. Rest assured, I tailor my visits to you and your pets needs which we discuss in our meet and greet.

When I'm housesitting for you, I work Monday to Friday from 7-3pm. Outside of those hours I am at your place and with your cat: afterwork, overnight, before work. On the weekends I am with your cat the majority of every day.
I bring in the mail, any parcels and water plants. I follow the house security you advise me to and lock up when I'm in your home. As a women who has lived alone and housesits alone I am extra conscious of these things!

If your pets behaviour seems unusual or worrying to me I will contact you for advice.

Before you leave we can have a meet and greet. I'd like to meet your animals first with you around so I can learn their daily habits, their specific needs, what you require from me and how best to care for them.

This is our third time with Heather and we just love her! She takes such amazing care of our kitties and they love when she comes to stay. Heather is very communicative, sending updates and photos every day. She pays close attention to our cats behaviour and we trust her completely with our babies. She always leaves the house very clean and tidy and the kitties miss her when she goes! 100% recommend Heather for all your house/pet sitting needs!

I have had Heather look after my spoilt kitty Tilly a few times and every time it has been fantastic. Heather communicates well, looks after all Tilly's affectionate needs, keeps the place tidy and takes great photos to share during the time. Tilly is always a very happy kitty when I get home and I know Heather looks after her and my unit well. I can't recommend highly enough!

I'm very good with cats and small animals. I have only a small amount of experience with dogs so if you're looking for a dogsitter I'm not the pick for you! I have experience giving tablets and medications to cats, kittens and small dogs.
