Hello my name is Heather Henry, (B.Sc. Social Work, Master of Social Work, Registered Social Worker) and I am duel citizen of Canada and Great Britain. I am married to Ottavio Tulini, (B.Sc. Phm. R.Ph). Ottavio is the owner and operator of two pharmacies and we the proud parents of four successful young adults. I was born in the UK and my husband and enjoy visiting frequently as well as traveling to many other places in the world. I have recently retired from a Senior Director Social Work position with a Government agency and I am very excited and highly motivated to be able to commit a portion of my free time to caring for and enjoying the company pets and exploring new communities. Ottavio and I own our home and a vacation property in Italy. We travel extensively, we live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy being physically fit and spending time with our family and friends. I adore practicing yoga and exploring anything that is creative . I am an avid gardener and I grow roses with a passion. I expect my love of roses is inspired by my childhood growing up in UK in the beautiful Surrey countryside. We are very house proud and meticulously clean and tidy in our own home and any vacation property we access. We know how important it is that you are confident that both your property and pets are well cared for when you are away and that the carers are sincere, trustworthy and responsible. I sincerely look forward to connecting with you so that we can both learn more about what you need from a pet/house sitter. I am happy to provide additional references and a police record check upon request.
Why I want to house sit
I want to house sit because I absolutely adore all animals and having the opportunity to live like a local in a community setting is very attractive to me. Although we travel extensively as a couple to vacation, pet sitting is something that I want to do as well. Having the opportunity to care for pets in their family home and living in is great fit for me at this time of life. I really like the concept of sharing resources and helping one another that house/pet sitting affords to the homeowner and sitter, it fits perfectly with my values, moral compass and social work background .
My experience
I have had the privilege of owning horses, dogs, Siamese and domestic cats, hamsters, birds, fish, guinea pigs and rabbits. I have cared for the pets and homes of friends, neighbors and family over the years. My parents were both raised in the country and I have spent many years visiting and helping family on their working farms. My father was a Thoroughbred racehorse trainer for over 40 years and I have had the opportunity to experience the thrills and challenges of that very special craft . I have been raised with a great respect and understanding of animals. Although I am new to the organized pet sitting forum my extensive life experiences and caring for my own pets has provided me with a strong foundation and knowledge of animal needs and the care and attention they require.

I have known Heather for only 4 months but it seems much longer. When I contacted Heather to arrange for her to look after our dog, Dublin, she suggested that we meet at her house. In visiting Heather in her own home, we could see that she kept her home neat, clean and organized. Heather encouraged Dublin to explore her house and her surroundings and we could see hat she was calm, patient, and a compassionate animal lover.
Heather genuinely enjoys animals. Dublin responds very well to her. He was extremely happy to see her a second and third time. We are now able to leave Dublin without feeling guilty.
While we were away, Heather communicated regularly. She reported on Dublin’s well being and sent photos of Dublin on his walks and of him fast asleep after a busy day. Heather asked permission to take Dublin in her car for walks in areas that she was familiar with.
Heather was respectful of our property. She left the house spotless, even going so far as to change the bed and to leave sheets and towels laundered. In addition, she knew we were arriving home late and she left a homemade meal for us.
I highly recommend Heather for home sitting or pet sitting. She is a professional, trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.- Organised
