About Your Critter Sitter
Welcome, my name is Heather Ford, and I am the owner operator of Your Critter Sitter. Hannah Collins, my Life Partner, and I are passionate about our business and committed to offering the highest standard of professional Pet Care to Sydney's Inner West.
Hannah and I draw on two very diverse backgrounds to bring a wide range of experience and skills to Your Critter Sitter. I had a 30-year career in transport logistics before accepting voluntary redundancy, while Hannah was a parent and now grandmother, fiction writer, horse trainer and retail manager.
Meeting new people is always interesting but getting to know a pet owner through their devotion, obsession, and unconditional love for a cat, dog, bird or gold fish allows us the privilege of sharing in a very special relationship. And we get it! Because we are equally devoted, obsessed and besotted by our own pets; a tri-coloured cat called Cameo and a Little Brown Dog named Alexandra (Alex for short).
Weekday mornings you will see the Your Critter Sitter van parked at either St Peters Sydney Park, the biggest off-leash park the city offers, or the smaller but just as doggy-social Henson Park, Marrickville. (Historically both these parks were originally part of the brickworks).
I enjoy being out in the fresh air after all those years in an office. I love watching the dogs run and play. And I also get immense satisfaction from the washing/grooming side of the business. Being handed a scruffy, hair in the eyes, bedraggled puppy, working a miracle with clippers and scissors until I hand back one Cute As A Button sweet smelling pet. The look of surprise and delight on the owner's face is priceless!
Hannah has taken on the very important role of 'Pet Sitter'. We understand the dilemma of leaving your pet in someone else's care. Your Critter Sitter builds a relationship of trust and reliability not only with you, the client, but also with your pet. We provide a flexible, individual service that allows you peace of mind and your pet the very best of in-home care.
No matter what you do, no matter how much you earn, no matter what your other interests in life, the one thing we all have in common is we love our pets and want the best for them.
