Learn More About Heather
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 precious kitties that mean the world to me - Scout & Ranger who are 5 years old 🐈⬛ They are siblings who I adopted from the town of Los Gatos, Spanish for "The Cats"! It was meant to be!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
If you have specific questions for a sitter, you deserve full answers. If something feels off, trust your gut and go with someone else.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love information! The more you share with me the better so I can best care for your kitty & home.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Doors will always be closed & locked before leaving. I will get more details regarding your specific home during our meet & greet.
Are you usually available during holidays?
As long as I am available, that's not a problem and I would love to. An extra fee will apply for federal holidays.

Heather was an absolute rock star cat sitter! She followed my instructions to the letter and went above and beyond my expectations —she’s super conscientious and my baby, Ray, was incredibly well cared for. He got treats and a spa-like brushing every day, as well as nice, full food bowls and a clean litter box. She made sure to play with him and sent me fantastic pictures after every visit. Ray loved her! She’s the best cat sitter I’ve ever had—no exaggeration!

Heather was amazing looking after Chai for two weeks while I visited family out of state. We met before I was gone so that she could meet Chai and I could show her around. It was the longest I had ever been away from my baby and my first time hiring someone rather than having friends and family look after Chai. Heather sent me great daily pictures and updates. She is amazing and cleaned up after Chai threw up on the carpet a couple of times. I definitely recommend!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Salinas cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
