Helping Your Pet Feel Right At Home
Pet Sitting Made Easy
Quick Drop-In
A 30-minute drop-in visit provides your pet with the care and attention they need while you’re away. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medications, playtime, cuddles, and a little extra companionship. I’ll also check that everything is safe and secure before I leave.
Dog Walking
12-Hours and 24-Hours
A 12-hour stay provides your pets with extended personalized care int the comfort of their own home. This includes maintaining their normal routine and providing meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the stay.
A 24-hour stay includes everything provided with a 12-hour stay, plus overnight care and an extended presence in your home. This allows your pets to have continuous companionship through the evening, overnight, and into the morning, while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. It’s a great option for pets who do best with someone consistently there or who need additional care and supervision.
Pet Sitting
A 30-60 minute dog walking session is more than just a walk—it’s dedicated time for your dog to get exercise, fresh air, mental stimulation, and plenty of attention. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s pace, energy level, and personality and can include potty breaks, sniffing, play, and basic reinforcement of good walking habits. I’ll make sure your dog is safely returned home, refreshed, and happy after our time together.
About Us
I’m Heather and always had a genuine love for animals and have cared for pets throughout my life. Over the years, friends, family, and others began trusting me to care for their pets, and what started naturally as something I loved eventually grew into a pet care business.
Before dedicating myself more fully to pet care, I worked as a full-time real estate agent. My clients valued me for being trustworthy, dependable, responsive, attentive to detail, and genuinely invested in their needs. Those same qualities are at the heart of how I care for pets today.
When you welcome someone into your home and trust them with your beloved pets, you deserve someone who takes that responsibility seriously. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own.
Paws & Awws Pet Services is licensed, bonded, and insured, and I’m also a member in good standing of Pet Sitters International. Most of my pet care experience has grown through personal referrals and word of mouth, which I’m incredibly grateful for.
I believe every pet and every household is different, which is why I like to learn about your pets, their routines, personalities, and individual needs before we get started. I offer an initial video consultation so we can get to know each other, discuss expectations, and make sure we’re the right fit.
My goal is simple: to provide dependable, personalized, and genuinely caring pet care so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands while you’re away.
If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, I’d love to connect and learn a little more about your you and your furry family members.
