About me

Digital nomad

I am a caring and responsible solo sitter who has been looking after people's homes and pets for 20 years over 3 countries.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love meeting homeowners and their fur families, exploring new neighbourhoods, as well as caring for their outdoor spaces and visiting wildlife. It's a wonderful adventure.
I look forward to connecting with you.

I am a caring, conscientious, clean, quiet, non-smoker who understands the importance of having a trustworthy caretaker of your home and pets. Working from home means being present a majority of the time, as well as flexible and adaptable to the needs of your pets etc. I enjoy gardening and yard work and have cared for homes in all seasons and extreme weather.

I do not have visitors. Your home is my haven while I am there, so I treat it as my own and appreciate the responsibility that comes with it.

I know it can be stressful for pets when their family is away so I strive to give them a comforting, fun experience while keeping their routines in order. I have lived with a variety of cats and dogs over the years and love making new pet pals and exploring new places. I have experience with senior pets and giving medications. I am also a photographer so I'm happy to document my time with your pets and update you as much or as little as you prefer. I am happy to video chat and meet before your sit.

Thank you Heather for taking amazing care of our two senior pups, Chloe and Teddy. You went above and beyond expectations with their care and compassion. Our house and gardens were immaculate on our return which was appreciated more than you know. We would love you to come back to Rockwood once again. John and Barbara.
Heather was a perfect pet/house sitter. Super easy and seamless. Communication was wonderful…she was always responsive. She sent pics of our pets upon her arrival to let us know she arrived and that they were being cared for. The House was clean upon our return. Could not ask for anything more / would not hesitate to have Heather return. Thank you Heather!
Spending three months each winter in the south of Spain means that our selection of a responsible sitter is crucial. We could not have been happier with Heather. From the moment we first met via Zoom, we were impressed with her calm, quiet and professional demeanour. She took good care of our house and it was as neat and clean when we returned as it was when we left. She was an excellent communicator- before, during and after the sit. We have no hesitation in recommending her highly.
Heather took care of our house and Toshi perfectly. She communicated regularly with us and left the house in exactly the same condition as we left it. Our week away was delayed by the awful snow storm and Heather adjusted very well to the shortened sit. We would highly recommend her.
House was as clean as I had left it upon my return. Cat was relaxed. No issues at all.

Heather is a wonderful pet sitter and our pets seem very happy to see her arrive and sad to see her leave … she follows all the intricacies of our 5 pets and their needs… she also keeps a neat and tidy house for us to return to…we are hoping she will return when we’re ready for our next adventure!
Heather is conscentious, thoughtful and thorough. Our three cats warmed to her quickly and she persuaded our elderly cat to eat consistently (something we can't always do). The house was pristine when we returned. She sent delightful updates while we were away and welcomed us on our return with a plate of ginger cookies. Highly recommended

We were very happy and fortunate that Heather was available for a second housesit. Our home, garden and most importantly, our two senior cats were well taken care of. Heather is a lovely person and we wouldn't hesitate recommend her to others looking for a responsible & pleasant individual to take care of their home and "fur babies".

This was our second experience with housesitters and it was as positive as the 1st one last fall. Heather is a lovely person. Our house, garden and most importantly, our two senior cats were well taken care of. One of my cats had a health issue towards the end of our time away and Heather managed it efficiently, contacting our local "backup" person, consulting with our vet and calling me with pertinent info. We wouldn't hesitate to book Heather again, or recommend her to others looking for ... MoreThis was our second experience with housesitters and it was as positive as the 1st one last fall.
