About me

personSolo

64, Retired

My home and pet sitter philosophy is simple: be responsible, kind, loving and compassionate for the pet(s) and be respectful, be reliable, and leave things better than I found them.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love house and pet sitting because caretaking the homes and pets of others gives me a sense of purpose and brings me joy. It gives me an opportunity to experience new places, people, and ways of living.

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys caring for spaces and animals with intention. When I look after pets, plants, and the home of others, I bring a calm, conscientious presence and keep communication easy and transparent.

I love extended stay opportunity house and pet sitting because it lets me care for homes and animals with real intention while experiencing new places, people, and ways of living. There’s something meaningful about stepping into someone’s space, treating it with deep respect, and leaving it exactly as I found it—or a little better. I enjoy the quiet routines, the trust involved, and the chance to offer pets calm, consistent companionship. For me, this is stewardship as much as it is service, and I take pride in being reliable, low‑impact, and mindful so homeowners can travel with confidence knowing everything is cared for with integrity.

Heidi was an absolute joy to have at home. The big bonus was to see our dog gets along with the great Mango, the handsome Heidi's dog ,. Stanley is an amazing dog with human but sometimes unpredictable with other dogs. It was so nice to see Stanley and Mango play together. The house was also very well taken care off. It will be with the greatest of pleasure to have Heidi again at home.
Heidi was great! Before the housesit she came by the house to talk things through. She then stayed in touch until the housesit. During the housesit she was communicative, gave regular updates and asked questions to clarify, when she was not clear. She took care of our animals, plants and house and even fixed some stuff in the house, everybody was happy and was well taken care off.
We cannot thank Heidi enough for the incredible care she took of my mom’s house, plants, and her dog, Sanne. Our family was traveling for my father’s celebration of life, and Heidi made a difficult time so much easier by completely eliminating our worry. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and regularly kept my mom updated with sweet photos. Sanne had a fantastic companion (Mango), the plants were watered, and the house was in perfect hands.

Heidi went so far out of her way to ensure everything was perfect—the house was absolutely sparkling clean for my mom's return. Gish darnit, I think we may have had Mary Poppins staying at the house! I hold absolutely no reservations recommending Heidi. She is a true gem.
