Learn More About Heather

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

I've entered the world of pet/cat sitting in 1994, when I started with Pet Nanny of Lanham, in Maryland. Back then, we had paper grid maps to find clients' houses. I would drive many, many miles in a day, and there was nothing I'd rather be doing at that time. I did everything from caring for a Persian named Beckett, to helping a Basset named Kip regain the use of his legs by being one of the physical therapy providers (not in the technical sense; the owner provided the vet's instructions for how to move/manipulate his legs during the visit). When I retire, I hope to get back to pet sitting full time. Cats are my favorite to care for.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I just found out there's character limitations in these descriptions..all of our kitties are rescues. Pinky from a shelter in Colorado, and the three boys from local homes. Short version: Pinky is a 2018 brown tabby girl Otis is a 2023 brown/Grey target tabby Bobtail Gus is a 2024 brown target tabby with some Bengal in him Stan is a 2024 white with a light Grey cap, and one gold eye and one blue.

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

I would say don't be afraid to detail all of your wishes/instructions. You're hiring someone to try to do as well as they would have if you were home. That should be the goal.

Heather was wonderful! She communicated clearly and checked in as needed about unexpected issues. My cat was happy and healthy upon my return. I’ll definitely reach out to Heather again next time!

Heather has been watching my kitties for years now and I wouldn't have anyone else take care of them. She goes above and beyond, not only taking care of basic needs but really loving on them and treating them as if they were her own. She gives great, lengthy updates (her pictures are fantastic, too--is photography another strength of hers?!), which make me feel so much better and more at ease. I feel like I can relax while I'm away because I know she's taking care of them. My kitties love their auntie Heather!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Richmond 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 $24.00. 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.
