Heather Matthews
Heather Matthews grew up understanding something that most pet owners already know: animals aren't just pets — they're family. That belief has shaped everything about the way she cares for the animals entrusted to her, and it's what drew her to join the Snuggle Sitters team.
A lifelong animal lover based in Scarborough, Maine, Heather has spent years caring for pets of all kinds — and counts a very charming, adventurous cat named Goose among her own. (Yes, Goose is leash-trained. No, it never gets old.) Her experience with cats in particular gives her a deep understanding of how to meet them where they are — respecting their independence while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in their own space.
Heather brings a calm, intuitive presence to every home visit. She pays close attention to each pet's routines, quirks, and comfort levels — because she knows that the details matter. Whether it's making sure a shy cat gets gentle check-ins on their own terms, or keeping a dog's schedule consistent so they don't even notice you're gone, Heather's approach is always patient, attentive, and genuinely affectionate.
As a home sitter, Heather treats every client's space with the same care and respect she'd want for her own. She is bonded and insured, and takes pride in leaving every home exactly as she found it — or better. From plant watering to mail collection to simply making sure the lights are on and the house feels lived-in, Heather handles the details so you can truly relax while you're away.
With Heather, your pets aren't just being watched — they're being loved.
With a heart that beats for every pet's comfort and professional acumen that assures safety for your home, Sophie Matthews is more than just a pet and house sitter – she is a caring guardian who provides peace of mind, so you can enjoy your time away knowing that everything at home is in safe, loving hands.
