"THE PURITY OF A PERSON'S HEART CAN BE QUICKLY MEASURED BY HOW THEY REGARD ANIMALS" ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON
Heather Scott's regional business, Heather's Pet Care LLC, started with loving a mini Shih Tzu puppy named Kandi. "She quickly became the highlight of the family. From there, I grew a huge love for animals," she recalls. In 2013, Heather says she got a phone call asking if she could assist a family friend with her multiple pets for two weeks. "After meeting me, the owners took a leap of faith to travel around the world and leave me with their pets. Once they got home, they couldn't have been happier. Shortly after, I turned my love for animals into a business," she adds.
Being around animals is the highlight of her day, assures Heather, a Pennington resident who also services cats, birds, fish and reptiles. She's recently the proud mom of a newly adopted guinea pig, George, who needed a new home. Pet sitting is offered for clients who want a sitter to check on pets at their homes. "We stop by up to four times a day, with visits up to a half hour. This includes any feeding or walking, and of course, lots of TLC!" says Heather. "Updates are provided upon request." Dog walking is great for clients who work most of the day and need help with their dog(s). Heather says her team walks dogs in the rain or snow, as well, unless a weather state-of-emergency has been declared. She says they provide updates after walks.
