Heidi

Welcome!
I’m Heidi Heyns, a globally renowned house sitter and pet caregiver with extensive experience in veterinary offices, handling champion show dogs, and caring for horses at professional stables. As a trained equine massage therapist, I offer a calming and healing presence for your pets. My intuitive caregiving approach builds strong bonds with pets, ensuring they are happy, relaxed, and well-cared for.

What I Am Looking for in a House Sit:
I seek house sitting opportunities where I can fully dedicate myself to the well-being of pets and the security of the home. I prefer stays longer than 15 days to build strong relationships and routines with the pets. For stays shorter than 15 days, my fee is £200 per week plus all expenses, reflecting the high-quality, dedicated care I provide. Homeowners value my intuitive pet care, calming presence, and commitment to maintaining home security and comfort.

Why I Want to House Sit:
House sitting combines my love for animals with my passion for new locales. It allows me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and their owners. Each assignment lets me build strong bonds with pets, ensuring they get the best care in their own home. This not only supports my writing career but also provides a calm, stable presence for animals, helping them feel secure and happy while their owners are away.

What I Offer:
• Exclusive Pet Care: Loving and expert care for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.
• Intuitive Healing: Calming presence and healing touch, with training as an equine massage therapist.
• Peace of Mind: Ensuring your home and pets are in safe, experienced hands.

Testimonials:

• House Sit in Manchester, Vermont: “Heidi is dedicated to making her clients happy and feeling taken care of! She flew across the country at the drop of a hat to care for our little fur baby. You have found a lovely, trustworthy house sitter in Heidi!” - Kathy Kay
• Dog Care in Ottsville, Pennsylvania: “My one dog also has issues about eating (needs to be spoon-fed); Heidi did it without hesitation and, what is even more amazing, he ate with her. He has such anxiety issues, but not with Heidi. You will find Heidi is reliable, follows directions to a T (we have a very specific diet and regimen for the dogs daily), and just makes them so happy and comfortable. Will I hire her again? You bet—I am having her come back to take care of them later this spring. I should add, too, that the house was in good order when I returned as well, so she not only treats the dogs with respect (and love) but also treats your house with respect. I highly recommend Heidi to you.” - Lori D.
