About Us

Heather

Hi everyone! My name is Heather. I'm the owner of Fur Pets' Sake and that adorable guy you see on the left is my man Dillon. I fell head over heels in love with him over 10 years ago when I adopted him through Henrico Humane. Animals have always been a big part of my life. From age 7 until I left for college, I lived with Nutmeg, who loved to stand on top of her doghouse in the backyard and survey her territory. While at JMU my roommates and I lived with Cody, a pure white Eskimo Spitz with tons of energy! I also adopted Berkeley, a cat who loved people and followed me everywhere around the house!

After I graduated from JMU a friend and I rescued a whole litter of kittens from a storm sewer and found homes for all of them and of course, I couldn't resist keeping one for myself- Jazminne! I have also done volunteer work with Henrico Humane and co-produced and edited their newsletter. That brings my story back to when I adopted Dillon. My friends have always been able to see my love for all animals and have trusted me with the care of their cherished pets- from dogs and cats to birds, bunnies, fish, turtles, and hamsters! Since 2008 I have been a professional pet sitter and very much enjoy caring for others' pets when an extra hand is needed! I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathery, or scaly, ...) family members.

Sue and Jessica

SUE joined the team in 2018. She has Golden Retrievers. They are show dogs and big hits at competitions! She is very involved with agility. Sue was pet sitting for many years before she joined Fur Pets' Sake, and is knowledgable about medications and injuries.

JESSICA joined us in 2019, and we sure are happy to have her helping us out as well!
