I'm Heather

Cat Sitting in Bradenton, FL

I have 2 cats that I love very much! One is a domestic shorthair she is a dilute calico who is the dominant cat and I have a male Ragdoll that is the submissive sibling. In my opinion cats have much bigger personalities than people give them credit for, each cat has its distinct needs and wants, and they know how to get it. I believe it is extremely important to engage their minds, not just let them sleep all day whether it is certain toys, catnip, lania or walks for some... I have 2 cats that I love very much! One is a domestic shorthair she is a dilute calico who is the dominant cat and I have a male Ragdoll that is the submissive sibling.

I believe it is extremely important to engage their minds, not just let them sleep all day whether it is certain toys, catnip, lania or walks for some. I have been a veterinary nurse for over 20 years, so I am able and experienced giving any necessary oral medications or injections. Cats are very clean animals I believe you should have 1 more litter box than you have cats so that they always have a clean box to go to and litter boxes should be cleaned at least once a day if not twice to avoid any behavioral issues. I believe in the owner's absence it is extremely important to have someone checking daily to ensure they are alright and taken care of, when I'm traveling my pet sitter comes twice daily for an hour. I am fully vaccinated for COVID and upon your request, I will wear a mask during all visits if that is what you prefer.

From the beginning Heather was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Both our kitties have medical conditions so, when I saw she was a vet tech, I knew she was the one. She spoiled them like they were her own and they ADORE her. I genuinely TRUST Heather with my babies - priceless.

Heather is a fabulous cat sitter! She watched our 2 kitties for 4 days and we couldn’t be more pleased. She is extremely professional, very personable, and clearly loves all things cats! She gave one of our boys his medicine each day with zero issues and she played and spent quality time with them during every visit. She also sent pictures and videos! We would highly recommend Heather to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and responsible cat sitter to take care of your babies while you’re away. She is excellent!!! 😻

Heather has been a true blessing to our family. We were not near to our in-laws cats and couldn't care for them when our parents were hospitalized. Heather went the extra mile to care and love for the cats. She communicated very clearly and effectively and anticipated any needs that the cats had! She spent extra time loving and play with the cats. I received pictures on a daily basis which provided peace of mind as we could not be there.

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.

Bradenton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
