Learn More About Heather

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for more than 25 years for family, friends and clients. I have taken care of an extensive variety of cat personalities with various medical needs.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part of cat sitting is kitty snuggles and hearing a cat purr. I really love the affection that some cats can give.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I feel very satisfied after being able to befriend a shy or anxious kitty. I have cared for several shy kitties now and successfully befriended almost all of them!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My last cat’s name was Balentine. I don’t currently have any cats since I travel too much for work. I hope to be able to get another cat soon since I do love their companionship.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

It’s always good to read through a sitter’s profile and make sure they are capable of handling any special needs or medications that your cat may have before booking with them. If your cat does have any special needs, make sure that is clearly laid out for the sitter prior to the booking to ensure a good fit so that your cat is getting the care they require.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I read over all provided cat and home care material before a meet and greet to make sure I can have any questions answered. I like to do in-person meet and greets to meet the cats and owners ahead of time and see where everything is kept. I take notes during the meet and greet to ensure I have a clear understanding of the care required and the expected routine. After my visits I always send an update and some photos.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I’m always careful while opening the door to ensure none of the cats escape when I am entering or existing a home. I double check doors have been closed and locked when I leave to ensure the security of the home. I make sure to follow all pet parent rules regarding windows being open.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am often available during holidays. I make sure to update my calendar for any holidays I am not available for.

What is your favorite cat toy?

It’s always fun to play with a wand toy with the cats. I really enjoy seeing the random things that cats choose as their favorite toy, like boxes or packing papers or a-tips, lol.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Around timid or anxious cats I try to make sure I’m quiet and make slow movements so I don’t startle them. I will sit quietly and try to coax them out with treats so they can get to know me, but allow them to approach me at their own pace. I will hold my hand so they can smell me before I try petting them. I’m always mindful of their behavior and will back away if they seem uncomfortable or stressed. I have been able to successfully befriend many anxious and shy kitties.

Heather traversed literal floods to come take care of Lemon. He also has special medication needs and she immediately was comfortable and did a great job of giving it to him. He took to her right away and she was super communicative the entire time. She was the first person who wasn't a close friend of mine to take care of Lemon and she knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much, Heather!!

Heather was AMAZING!! She cared for my two cats over the weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One cat is very shy and has diabetes, requiring blood sugar checks and insulin. I wasn’t so sure my shy cat would cooperate and let a stranger poke him, but Heather took the time to meet him beforehand and did her own research on how to approach the situation. I was beyond happy to receive updates after each visit saying that she had success with him and that everything went well! She sent detailed messages after every visit and sent so many adorable pictures of them 😻 I couldn’t say enough how grateful I was for her patience and care with my two cats.

This was the most confident I have felt leaving my fur babes. Knowing Heather was there on time, checking my crazy cat lady list, taking pics and giving them loving allowed me to finally relax while away. So grateful.

Heather was such a wonderful caretaker for our senior boy while we were away! He has kidney disease and needs sub-q fluids administered every couple days, and Heather took care of that, which was a huge relief. She sent adorable photos and provided detailed updates about each visit. I also appreciated that she took notes during our meet-and-greet. We’re so thankful to have found her!

This was Heather’s second time watching our elderly boy, and she once again did a wonderful job! She takes the most adorable photos, and sent detailed updates on how each day went. She’s a pro at giving sub-q fluids and even had our boy purring during fluids time! And she spent extra time with him while he was constipated and refusing to eat, helping him feel as comfy as possible. She’ll absolutely be our go-to sitter whenever she’s in town!

I couldn't be happier with the care my cat Mia received! Mia is quite anxious and sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, so I was a bit worried about leaving her. However, Heather was incredibly patient and understanding of Mia's unique needs, and she took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe. I came home to a relaxed and happy cat, which is all I could ask for. Highly recommended for anyone needing a compassionate and attentive pet sitter!

This was my first time using a cat sitting service and admit to being apprehensive about having a stranger watch my furry friends, but she did a great job and the kitties liked her. Seeing the daily updates and reports helped alleviatethe apprehension so we could enjoy our vacation. She was fabulous!

Heather has been our cat sitter for quite some time now, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She’s consistently attentive to every detail, follows our instructions perfectly, and makes sure our cat Mia gets her medication right on schedule. What truly sets Heather apart is her communication and kindness -- she’s always quick to respond, keeps us updated with thoughtful messages, and shows such genuine love for Mia. Our cat can be anxious with new people, but Heather has built a trusting relationship with her over time. Knowing Mia feels safe and cared for in her hands gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. We can’t recommend Heather enough. She’s reliable, compassionate, and truly treats our cat like her own.

Heather was absolutely amazing while taking care of our anxious cat, Mia, while we were away. Mia can be a bit particular and sensitive, but Heather was so patient and attentive to her needs. She always takes the time to understand Mia’s quirks and makes sure she feels safe and comfortable. Heather kept us updated with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mia and went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable and compassionate to look after your pet, I can’t recommend Heather enough! :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
