About Perfect Paws by Heather the RVT

I’m a Licensed and Insured Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) proudly serving Lake County, Ohio and surrounding areas with in-home pet care for the past 3 years. My journey in veterinary medicine began in 2010 when I enrolled in vet tech school, and after graduating and passing my state boards, I’ve been devoted to the field ever since.

With over a decade of hands-on experience in general practice, emergency medicine, specialty care, and both basic and orthopedic surgery, I bring a well-rounded medical background into every home visit. But what truly fuels my passion is forming meaningful, lasting relationships with pets and their people—right where pets feel safest and most at ease.

I'm certified in Fear Free techniques, which means I use proven strategies to reduce stress and anxiety in pets during care. These methods help create a calm, positive experience during every appointment—something I genuinely believe makes a long-term difference in their health and comfort.

As your Mobile Pet Consultant, I also provide education on managing chronic conditions like diabetes and offer natural wellness guidance as a certified Pet Essential Oils Educator. Whether it’s routine care, early detection of subtle health issues, or helping clients follow treatment plans more effectively, my goal is always to support both pets and their veterinary teams.

At home, I’m a mom to two amazing kids (who sometimes act like playful pups themselves), two beloved dogs, and a turtle I’ve had since I was 12—a true symbol of my lifelong love and commitment to animals.

When I’m not caring for clients, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors, learning something new, or simply soaking up time with my family. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets, and I’m honored to be part of their care journey.
