I'm Heather
Cat Sitting in Wesley Chapel, FL
Now about me. I’m a U.S... Hello! My name is Heather, and I am a proud cat mom and sister. Yes, you read that right…cat sister. LOL! First, let me tell you about the kitties in the gallery. The calico kitty is Daphne, my fur-baby, and the brown tabby is Pinky, my cat sister. Daphne is a rescue who is the older and more chill of the two. She can be quite shy and timid, and once you have passed her kitty tests (that she only knows about) you will then be able to see this elusive feline. Seriously though, she went through some things before I got her and I don’t know what, but I know that I’m still earning her trust and I’m thankful for every day that I can make her life a better one. Pinky is my cat-sister (my mom’s cat), and much like Daphne, she is also a rescue; however, that is where things end. Pinky is significantly younger, loves to play ball, can be a vocal singer, and loves lap time and attention. You know you are doing right by her when the biscuit factory opens. As you can see, we have the ying and yang of kitties in my household.
Now about me. I’m a U.S. Air Force Veteran where I served for 27 years in the career equivalent to that of Human Resources. I’ve always had cats in my life for as far back as I can remember which translates into well over 40 years of experience. My experience has come from not only caring for my own cats, but also from volunteering as a Cattery Assistant in various animal non-profit organizations since 2009. As a Cattery Assistant I performed duties such as cleaning kennels and litter boxes, feeding and watering, keeping accurate records and logs, animal handling and restraint, cleaning and sanitization, and socialization. As a cat mom, I’ve had to administer medications orally, ear drops, ointments, and subcutaneous fluids. My passion, love, and experience has led me to this next chapter as a Meowtel Cat Sitter.
I understand the unique personalities of our feline friends and that every cat has their own preferences. Which means, I will always meet them on their own terms and will never rush an interaction. My approach is patient, gentle, and tailored to each cat's needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure your feline family member(s) gets the attention and care they deserve and need in your absence.
What does a visit with me look like? I will perform all services promised to a Meowtel client which consists of litter box cleaning, feeding, water refresh, socializing/playtime, lots of love as allowed by your feline friend, cleaning and tidying any cat related messes, and sending you a written update and photos of my visit. If requested, I can also bring in your mail and packages left at your home.
I look forward to meeting you and your feline family, and most importantly, providing your cat(s) with the best possible care while you're away!

Learn More About Heather
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 kitties in my household, Daphne and Pinky. Daphne is my pandemic kitty who is a rescue that is shy and timid; however, once she knows you and feels as though she can trust you she will show her loving and playful self to you. She may even give you lap time, which speaks volumes coming from her. Pinky is my Mom's cat, who is also a rescue, she is the younger of our two girls and is loving and rambunctious.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Meet your sitter in person before you commit. This will allow you a chance to get a feel for the sitter as well as provide an introduction for your kitties.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Give the cat plenty of space and speak in a calming voice. It also helps to have their favorite treats or food available as well as any of their comfort items such as a blanket or something with the owners scent since that may help to alleviate their anxiety. As for a timid cat, you want to give space, speak in calm tones, no sudden or quick movements, and never make the cat feel trapped.

Heather was amazing (as usual)! She was always attentive to the cat’s needs, and was very patient with them as they are very shy. she listened to any requests I had which, let’s face it, were a bit excessive. Not only that, she notified me when our a/c was not working, which gave us enough time to get it fixed before it became a danger to the cats. on top of all this, she was able to get my VERY shy cat to come out and greet her, which is a feat that not even my closest friends or family had done for years. All in all, Heather is an awesome cat sitter who will put your kitties first 😸😸

Heather was awesome! My kitties are very shy, and no one besides me and my mother have ever gotten to see them. Heather was very kind to them, explained what she was doing to them, and waited patiently with them for her whole appointment. I was even surprised to see that she had actually gotten a few pictures of them! overall a wonderful cat sitter! 😊

Heather was an amazing sitter! Just moving into the area, I was uncomfortable leaving my cats with anyone as they were still adjusting to their new environment. My oldest boy, Fritz is 13 years old. He has always been afraid and insecure since tiny. Upon meet and greet visit, though shy, he identified with Heather and allowed her to pet him. I knew in my heart then, he would be in good hands. I cannot praise Heather’s care and attention enough! She followed their routine upon every visit and by my cats behavior when I came home, he didn’t feel abandoned (I usually get punished by him with cold shoulder attitude for days). I look forward to working with Heather again knowing my furry kids will be in excellent hands.

Heather was truly an angel! I had so much anxiety leaving my baby Raava at home alone for a couple of days. Normally when we’re out of town we come home to see that she hasn’t ate anything. With Heather coming to check in, our baby not only eats her food but gets to have playtime and company everyday when we’re not there. Heather was very descriptive in her check-in’s and sends pictures from her visit. She was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for in-home cat sitting.

Heather is amazing! My very shy kitty Jazzy approached her immediately and was very comfortable with her and allowed her to pet him! Heather is thorough and respectful. She really cares about the kitty and thinks about how to reduce their stress. I needed Heather to medicate my shy and scared kitty who wouldn't allow me to medicate him. She was really patient and medicated him and Jazzy was scared at first but completely fine and chill after medicating him which is not usual for him. I am very happy about having her as Jazzy's pet sitter. Will highly recommend her to everyone!

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!

Heather is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. I was worried, of course, about someone in my home and caring for my baby. He’s a little shy, but Heather speaks cat! They were best friends by the end of her first visit. She took great video every day, and her pictures are amazing, because she is right down on the floor with them. She is professional, detailed, warm and friendly. You’ll be pleased..

Everything went smoothly, from the reservation process through my sitter's care while I was away. My precious 11-year-old cat Izzy loved Heather from the minute they met. Heather sent me a detailed update with photos and video after each daily session. I know Izzy was loved and cared for as well as I would do for her, and this was a huge relief for me during a stressful trip. Izzy was glad to see me, but I can tell she would welcome seeing her new auntie Heather again. No doubt I would turn to Heather again in a heartbeat!

heather was more than outstanding in caring for my cats. She took the time to play with them and took care of even the smallest things, and kept me abreast of everything that happened as well as photos/videos which helped tremendously. I cannot recommend her enough!

Heather was an amazing sitter for our two cats over our trip during the holidays. She sent a detailed message of everything that happened during each visit, as well as several photos of our babies every single day. We also appreciated the visit she made to us prior to us leaving to meet the cats and get to know us/them. Overall we'd HIGHLY recommend Heather!

Over the 9 years my cats have been alive, Heather is the best cat sitter we have ever had! My cats are sisters and have always gotten very stressed when we’ve left town, to the point of getting into skirmishes. Heather’s ability to engage with them and put them at ease was remarkable. I loved that she treated them with respect, talked to them, and gave them love and wonderful care. My cats enjoyed her visits and looked forward to seeing her. She is absolutely the best!!

We can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She is prompt, organized, and went above and beyond all instructions for care. From her quick response to the initial booking request to her detailed visit reports, her communications were great. She quickly built a rapport with our shy cat and put our minds totally at ease. She is a thorough and attentive care provider and truly loves what she does. We will absolutely book with Heather again. Kat can’t wait!

This is the second time Heather has taken care of my babies. I have zero regrets! Heather is professional, loving, attentive, and clean. My babies absolutely adore her now. She has earned their trust. Heather's visit summary, videos, and pictures gave me so much comfort when I was away. I wont be booking any other sitter from now on!

Heather is my 2nd sitter with Meowtel and she has surpassed my expectations. Meowtel really does their due diligence because Heather was AMAZING. She's prompt, very detailed, and thorough. She will give you a break down of the day with many photos and an ocassional video. On Heather's first visit, I already knew my cats were in good hands. She cares about your home, your cats and your experience. What else is needed? I will for sure hire Heather for my next vacation!!
Esmeralda

Heather is professional and loving. She treated my babies with so much love and affection.

She will be taking care of my babies again for Christmas.

Making reservation was simple and Heather responded very quickly to accept. This is our second time having Heather visit us and we love her! It's been 3 months since our last visit and the boys (Walter and Felix) remembered and promptly took the position to allow belly rubs. The thorough updates at every visit (2x/day) with pictures/videos allow me to feel at ease while away. The boys made sure to recommend Heather to their cousin Harlo since her mom was on vacation with me. Will definitely continue to have Heather visiting us in the future!
Patrice

We had a wonderful experience with Heather, she took care of our cat for four days. She was very reliable and always gave us notice of exactly when she would be visiting. For each visit she gave detailed information of her interaction with our guy and wonderful photos. We came home to a happy, relaxed and well cared for cat. We already have her booked for our next trip. We 💯 recommend her❤️

I am always the most stressed leaving my boys (Walter & Felix) for any amount of time. Heather helped ease my anxiety with spot on updates and amazing pictures! She provided updates with their individual personality which is impressive since they are literally twins and very hard to tell apart. The boys immediately approved when Heather came for meet n greet which pretty much sealed the deal. 😁 We will definitely ask Heather to care for us again in the future!!!
