I am patient, attentive, and really try to tune into each individual cat's personality. I respect whatever makes them feel safe. I am especially good with shy, senior, and cats that need someone gentle and predictible. I am also certified in pet CPR/First Aid.
Because of my training, I am comfortable with medication routines, special diets, mobility issues, and any other special needs that your cat might have. I ensure that each cat receives plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment. I will happily send photo updates, little notes, and even FaceTime if you or they are having seperation anxiety.
My goal is to keep your kitty comfortable, loved, and a little spoiled whle you're away.
I look forward to meeting your Fur Baby!
Learn More About Heather
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've lived with cats my entire life and have been the go-to cat sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. Between caring for my own cats and stepping in for people when they travel, I've had hands on experience with all kinds of cat personalities - from sassy and bold to anxious and timid. I have also fostered and adopted out kittens and cats. I live in a very close knt complex and consider all the kitties family. Professionally, I've been caring for pets alongside my caregiving work for several years, and I'm trained in Pet CPR/First Aid. I am also a registerd Home Care Aide, so routines and special needs are second nature to me. I have had cats that required medication schedules, special diets, mobility issues, and keeping cats calm and happy while their humans are away is my specility.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite part of cat sitting is getting to know each cat's personality and earning their trust and affection. I love them all, from the low key lap sitters to the funny little ones who are full of energy. I love gaining a cat's trust and think its such an honor when they fnally accept you as a friend. I also really love taking their pictures and capturing their little moods and activities. That is one of my favorite parts of day.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one cat at home named Figuro (Fig, Fig Newton, Figaro Lingonberry, Sir Fig). He is 3 years old, going on 4 and was a rescue cat. He is a very handsome tuxedo cat (and he knows it). He is also the LOUDEST cat I have ever known, and does not let us forget about him for an instant. My past kitties have included a tabby with the zoomies (Big Orange Cat Energy) named Bailey but we called him Bubba. He even had a song called Bubba in a box.

Heather was absolutely amazing with our three cats. She was reliable, punctual, and genuinely cared for them by spending quality time playing with them and making them feel safe and loved. She kept us updated with consistent messages and photos, followed our instructions perfectly, and left everything tidy. You can tell she’s experienced with cats and understands their different personalities. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home — the best feeling after being away. Highly recommend Heather and will 100% book her again!

Heather was great! She was super responsive, took great care of our three rather complicated kitties, and adjusted easily to an unexpected change in our travel plans. I'm really grateful she was there to care for them, and we came back to both the house and the cats in excellent shape. Thank you Heather!

San Pedro cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
