Heather was a great help for my wife and I because we had to fly out for a couple of days on a business trip and our new 9 month old puppy Cosmo is a bit of a handful, in addition to our skittish cat Logan, we needed someone to take care of them and have our minds in peace while we were away. Heather provided exactly that by being on time, sending picture and video updates of ours pets throughout the day and doing generally what we requested her to do. We will be using her services from now on everytime we have to leave for more than a day. Thank you Heather!!

Thank you so much for trusting me with them in your home. I look forward to watching them again soon.

Heather is wonderful with pets. My 2 cats like her very much. Heather is punctual, responsible and respects instructions on how to care for your pet which is vital to us. We really appreciate her and her work ethic. She has been a life saver, she was able to pet sit in a moment when I needed her the most. My grandmother whom I adore past away suddenly and I needed to fly unexpectedly and she was able to accomodate me last minute. I am so grateful for her. Thank you so much Heather!!!

I was in need of a dog sitter for our dog. On Saturday June 28th, I found Heather here on Thumbtack. I messaged her to inquire about availability. We chatted a bit her on the app, but then she called my cell. We spoke on the phone and setup Sunday June 29th at 9am for her to come by our house to meet our pup. During that call she told me to text her my home address. As soon as we got off the phone I sent it to her. A short time later she sent me a text asking for my address. I asked her if she got my text? I also sent my address again. Then at 3:45 that same day she sent me a screenshot of a lady that also does pet sitting. I texted her back saying I was confused. Why she was sending me a photo of someone. Was I asked if Heather was coming or this other lady? I got zero response back. At 8:39am Sunday June 29th I sent Heather a text confirming we were still on for our meeting at 9am. I got zero response. I waited till 9:30am, then I called her and she didn’t answer. I sent her a message on Thumbtack asking what’s going on. I got zero response. How can you run a business and not reply to your customers and then no call no show? Based on this initial interaction I would not use Heather. Communication is my big sticking point. How am I supposed to trust you in my house with my dog when you can’t even reply to text messages, not answer the phone, and no call no show?

Unfortunately we did talk on the phone. Apparently Imessages are not going through on my phone. I had sent at least 3 messages and on my end did not receive a reply. I thought like many times i got ghosted. I will talk to my phone carrier to try and resolve my phone issue.
