SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MY SERVICES
"Heather has been absolutely amazing in helping us with our puppy Brewer. She started with him when he was 5 months old and we have felt that ever since he is always in great hands whenever she is with him. Heather's response time is outstanding, she gets back to me usually within minutes to let me know if she can come over to let Brewer out, I never have a concern that I won't be able to reach her. Heather always sends a follow up text before she leaves our home to let me know that he's been taken care of and how he did, this gives great comfort when I'm at work knowing that she's visited with him. Heather's services vary and we've tried many - from dog walking, to 1/2 day visits to full day visits over night she does it all and she does a great job with each level of service. When Heather stayed in our home we came home to an immaculate house, all of our mail taken in, plants watered, etc. she took the extra steps to go above and beyond what was necessary of just watching Brewer and we greatly appreciated it. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone who wants personal, in home care for their animal while they are away." - Kaitlin H.
"Heather's Pet Sitting services were above the expectations. She’s very responsible and followed all the guidelines we agreed on. And she’s nice and energetic, exactly what my dog Phoebe needs to be entertained. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t miss us not even a little bit when Heather is in charge because they have so much fun together! Me and my husband are very thankful for Heather making Phoebe a happy dog when we are not around." - Ana C.
"Heather has been taking my two big dogs (Graham and Ginger) on daily walks for many months. My shepherd has struggled with fear aggression. Heather has really been helping with reducing this behavior and I think it has everything to do with how comfortable she is as the pack leader. The pups trust her to lead them. And I trust her to take care of them. She has them sit before putting on leashes and she has control over them during the walks. Finally, she is very dependable. I love it when I get her text updates about their walks. I feel confident in her abilities to take care of my precious pups." - Lauren M.
"Heather is a Godsend. I honestly don't know how I would have made it through the year without her. My family life underwent a dramatic change this year and I needed help caring for my dogs (Lady & Happy) during the middle of my very hectic work day and also when I travel. I am extremely distracted by work and Heather is perfect: she takes initiative and follows up: she stays in good contact, she's responsive and attentive and dependable and trustworthy and most importantly, she seems to honestly enjoy being around my dogs. Knowing that they are getting love and attention while I'm at work doesn't just make me feel better, it makes my time with them more enjoyable. They are happier and healthier and better adjusted for the care that she provides them. I'm also a lot more sane! What more can I say than she is the absolute best!" - Reilly L.
"Heather was recommended to us through a coworker – and we are so thankful to have met her. Having 2 wonderful girls, Nala and Tyra (with vastly different personalities) it has always been a challenge for us to find someone who we feel comfortable with. But Heather was amazing from day one. She wasn't intimidated by Nala's shy personality or Tyra's rambunctious nature. She took her time and let the girls get to know her on their terms. And within 3 visits, she had established a solid bond with both of them – which was a huge relief for our wedding weekend. We had every confidence that Heather would take great care of them. And her text messages throughout the weekend were an added bonus – we knew they were in great hands.! We would gladly recommend Heather to friends and family who are looking for a sitter. And Nala and Tyra will certainly be happy to see her the next time we're away!" - Renee G.
"With 5 cats, 10 birds and 1 chameleon, I was apprehensive about finding an animal sitter who could handle such a diverse menagerie. Would she get along with my noisy cockatoo? Would she chop the fruit and vegetables small enough for my finches? Would she change the cat box often enough that they would not pee in the shower? Most important, would she give them all the attention they crave?
I shouldn’t have worried – she did a great job and even left my house clean and tidy. The animals were happy and well-fed and the cockatoo even sat on her shoulder. I had sticky notes pasted on the cupboards and refridgerator. She is terrific and now I can travel again." - Wendy H.
"We are so lucky to have Heather take care of our puppy. As first time puppy owners, we were a little nervous about leaving him with a stranger, but Chaplin took to her right away and she has been great with him. She's reliable, upbeat, and smart about animals. In addition, we've noticed that Chaplin has gotten even better on his walks with us, something I attribute to her confidence and consistency when walking him. We couldn't ask for a better, nicer, more capable caretaker for our animal." -Aimee L.
"Heather was a great care-giver to our two big girls (Pufa and Komodo) while we were on holiday in Europe. I could enjoy Christmas with my family there knowing they are in good hands." -Marzena T.
"Heather has been our dog sitter for Lila, our 14 year old miniature poodle, for several week-long vacations and for many of our day trips too. We have found Heather to be extremely responsible and caring to Lila, to us, and to our house. She will always get back to us right away when we call or text her, and she will text and send pictures of Lila throughout the time period we are away. We enjoy our trips so much more knowing that Lila is in such wonderful hands!" -Liz C.
"We contacted Heather in April to pet sit our dog, Macie, and couldn't be happier. Macie is a rescue, is an older dog, and definitely nervous; but Heather's friendly, relaxed demeanor put Macie at ease right away. So far we have used the hourly visits, with a walk, and Heather always lets us know how things went. The last time our nervous Macie was asleep! Heather is reliable and has been available for us every time we have needed her, including holidays. I'm sure it won't be long before we take advantage of her overnight pet sitting service. We highly recommend her." -Dianne S.
"My husband and and I went on a two week vacation in February and going away is always very stressful for me because of my three dogs. We have used a kennel in the past but I always worry about them the whole time because they come home very stressed. My friend told me about Heather and I loved the idea of letting my pups stay in their home. Heather and her employee Erica each took a week staying at my house. The dogs loved them.
Heather and Erica kept me updated, sent pictures and a vid which made me feel so much better. This was the first vacation I've taken in years where I didn't feel the need to rush home. My pups were safe and happy in their own home with their normal routine. I highly recommend Heather and Erica." -Sharon S.
“We found Heather to be reliable, friendly and responsible. She was consistent with her schedule and was proactive in reaching out to us to see if there were any schedule changes due to upcoming holidays. Heather texted us after every walk to let us know she had walked Daisy and how she had done on her walk, which we really appreciated. We know Daisy looked forward to her daily walks with Heather. She was much more relaxed and content when we arrived home after work each day. We would recommend Heather to anyone." -Kate and Jeff F.
"BEST DOG/PET SITTER EVER! I love Heather and crew! Every time I have to go out of town, for no matter how long, I am so comfortable knowing that my pups are going to be taken care of - and well. I've had over nights and drop-ins and it's been the same fantastic level of care each time!
I love the updates of how my guys are doing - it's like an extra bonus. It makes going away so much nicer. And I even think my dogs would sometimes rather me stay away longer... example, last time I was away, for a quick trip, I came home expecting my dogs to greet me at the door. Nope, not this time - they were all fast asleep throughout the house, feeling safe and comfortable and not worried or anxious, AT ALL, that I wasn't home. See? They love it when Heather (and Erica) are here and could clearly careless about me *wink!
Thank you, ladies, for being my dog whisperers!
If anyone, in this area, needs a pet sitter, this is your crew! I can't recommend Heather's Pet Care to enough people. AMAZING! Thank you so much for all you do!" -Michelle L.
"Heather has been helping me with my two purebred Labrador retrievers since 2014. I am a single dogmom with a full-time career so Heather's help has been indispensable, particularly with Dolores the pup...from dealing with messes in the crate to exercise and special feeding instructions. Heather knows what to do with the dogs and can handle any given situation, from taking them for their nail grooming to separating them when they get too rowdy. After each exercise session, she clearly communicates with me how the dogs behaved, accepting my feedback as well as giving me her much-needed insights. Most of all, Heather has been there for the last-minute emergencies; her dependability is her greatest asset. And...besides being the consummate professional, she is the nicest person you would want to have spending time with your dogs!!" - Lisa C., Rock & Dolores
“The quality of care that Heather has provided our two dogs, Nymeria (Nym) and Ghost, has been outstanding. For the past year we have relied on Heather for dog walks and overnight stays, and know when she is taking care of them, they are getting ample attention (which Nym requires a lot of!) and love.
Heather is responsible, organized, and timely, and frequently provides updates and check-ins, and always sends pictures and videos to document what a great time our dogs are having with their friend. Further she is extremely accommodating, making time for last minute appointments and scheduling changes, and has even accompanied us when we moved!
Our dogs love Heather and while they don’t mind staying at boarding facilities, they much prefer Heather’s company. We are thrilled with the love and affection that she shows Nym and Ghost, and we know we are leaving them with family. Thank you Heather for your help but more importantly for being such a great part of our dogs lives!” `- Sabeen M.
“Heather has been the dog whisperer in our house-managing to get our old dog to eat dinner while he has usually been too sad to eat when mommy is at work. She takes him for his walk and often sends a photo where he is smiling his wide dog smile. I cannot express rightly the peace of mind she has given me that lets me work without worry and the gratitude I feel knowing our dog is in the most caring hands.” - Julia S.
“Quite simply, we LOVE Heather! And most importantly, our 65lb (“energetic”) Labradoodle, Ryder, loves her too. We have used Heather for daily dog walking as well as overnight care while we’ve been away and she and her entire team are terrific. We have even used Heather’s Pet Care to pick up and drop off our dog at doggie day care and boarding. They are patient, gentle and loving; and clearly adore animals. The best part of her service is the selfie she and Ryder take and send to me each time to let me know they are happy, safe, and having a blast together.
I trust everyone at Heather’s Pet Care implicitly with both my home and my dog, and recommend them without a single reservation.” - Susan P.
“I am so thankful to have found Heather. Heather runs a professional company. Heather and her team are friendly, reliable, and responsible! While I was away, I received updates from Rachel and I felt totally at ease. My dog Henry was so happy and not at all stressed when I got home.” - Jennifer T.
“Heather is a great relief to us while we are out of town. She takes good care of our cats and gives us a piece of mind. It is also good to have someone showing up at the house each day so it looks like someone is home and not on vacation for days! Our cats love her also.” - Juliet R.
“Heather Scott is the best friend a dog could have! Heather has been taking care of our little Bear for several years now, and we couldn't be happier. She comes to our house several times a week while my wife and I are at work to take Bear out for a walk. But more than that, she plays with him, spends time cuddling, and sends us wonderful photos & videos of the two of them together. Bear adores her. We've run into people in town who also use Heather, and they share our opinion - she's the best!” - Ron F.
“We heard about Heather from a friend and decided to give her a try NUMBER years ago. It’s hard to find someone you can trust to be inside your house and care for your fur family when you are not around. We have no regrets about Heather! She is reliable, a great communicator, and her prices are reasonable. Best of all, she LOVES your critters.
She came into our lives when our dogs were seniors. They could no longer tolerate long walks, but Heather would let them out, play, and cuddle with them for a half an hour when we needed her. They loved her and we can truly say that she loved them too. Ariel passed away first and we didn’t think to notify Heather when she was nearing the end. We could tell that Heather was sad that she did not get to say good bye. When Logan was at the end of his life, we made sure that we notified Heather. She took time out of her busy day to come and cuddle with him and say good bye. He looked happy to see her. It demonstrated to us how much she cares for her clients.
We have an extremely shy cat that also came to love Heather. This cat likes 3 people in this world – me, my husband, and Heather. We are grateful that Heather was able to forge a bond with our shy guy because she now checks on him and our house when we are traveling. She always gives you updates and pictures when she is interacting with your fur family members. In addition to her critter duties, she takes out the garbage, brings in the mail, and waters your plants when she is housesitting for you.
We have no problem recommending Heather to family and friends. We are truly happy to have her in our lives.” - Chris and Tara H.
“Heather has been looking after my 2 cats since 2015 and I am extremely satisfied. Whether going away on a business trip or to see family the one thing that I’m never stressed out about is that Catia and Sasha will be well looked after and I’ll come home to 2 happy cats.” - Andrew H.
“I wanted to provide an update to Heather's recommendations, but, as I read the older posts, I found that I had no new accolades to add. She has all the skills already mentioned and more.
Heather has worked with us for at about five years now and I can't say enough good things about her.
She is reliable, accountable hardworking, conscientious. and very clean. She pays attention to detail and has great follow up (with pictures!). She provides, and remembers, all household services in addition to providing excellent pet care.
Heather is intelligent, has foresight and loves animals. Her affection for them is clear and infectious. She has a good sense of humor and is calm under pressure. She knows how to use her energy and skills to keep problem dogs calm. She thinks ahead and prevents situations from happening.
Heather is an excellent manager and she expects a lot from her employees. She supervises them well and resolves any issues quickly and directly. Heather is great at laying out rules, clarifying expectations and monitoring the actions of dogs and people.
Heather is the consummate professional. I doubt that you will find anyone else in any other field that cares as much about their work as she does.
Her rates are reasonable and she is flexible with scheduling. That being said, Heather is a first rate calendar keeper and expects others to do the same - it helps to provide her with as much notice as possible. She helps you by sending regular reminders.
I highly recommend Heather and would gladly speak with you by phone if you would like more details. She can provide my reference to you.
Thank you, Heather! You have made my life much, much easier.” - Mike and Maureen P.
“Heather has been pet sitting for my two dogs (now one dog) for the last four years. She is professional, responsible, compassionate, and a total pet lover.
My dog loves when she comes to my house whether to feed her, walk her, or stay overnight with her. I know this because heather communicates reliably:
She sends me a video when she walks into my house. She texts me upon arrival and leaving. I get pictures and updates if I’m away. I couldn’t ask for more from a pet sitter. She’s like part of the family!” - Patti B.
“Heather has been taking care of our pets for over 5 years.
She is a conscientious and reliable house sitter, pool and plant care as well as looking after an array of pets, including reptiles! as needed.
I highly recommend Heather's service.” - Anne K
“Heather has been taking care of our beloved beagle/hound mix Suzy since we moved to Pennington three years ago (2019), and we couldn’t ask for better care! She clearly loves Suzy, and Suzy clearly loves her. Heather is highly conscientious and responsible, and we trust her completely completely not only with our dog, but also with our home whenever we go away. We would recommend her without any reservation for all dog walking and/or dog sitting needs!'“ - Dave S and Cathy F
