Heather
I am well-loved by animals and children - always the best judges of character.
My experience
Being asked back is always the best indication of being a good house and animal sitter. I have managed one home/farm on Bainbridge Island for over 12 years, usually staying 2-3 times a year. I took care of a Lake Washington waterfront home…

We leave home with no worries. Believe us - this is no small undertaking. We have a small "hobby" farm with varying numbers of both farm and domestic animals - sheep, goats, dogs, cats, chickens - and we consider them all part of our beloved family. When we step out, Heather steps fully in. She has been our house and pet- family sitter for over a decade. We leave unique instructions for not only every animal but every house function and she follows them to the letter. That makes her a great home/pet sitter. But what makes her so exceptional are two things. She does more while on duty spending extra time cuddling with the dogs, cleaning the water bins, and talking to the cats. She has a very caring personality, and it shows in her relationship with our animals. She can also handle the unusual and unexpected situations that inevitably arise…from power outages to assisting elderly pets with unique needs, to sudden illnesses. Her ability to assess, communicate quickly and make the right decisions in your absence is invaluable. We trust our home and animals to her care completely.
