I'm Heather
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I have fostered several kittens, assisted in the adoption and rescue of abandoned cats and have two fur babies of my own. I have a ... Hello! Thank you for looking at my bio! My name is Heather and I am a working professional and like all New Yorkers, need a side job.
I have fostered several kittens, assisted in the adoption and rescue of abandoned cats and have two fur babies of my own. I have a full time job as a property tax financial analyst, going back to school and have a pretty set schedule. I’m excited to meet your kitties and if you choose me as your sitter, you can rest assured your kitties will be in good hands. I look forward to hearing from you!
Learn More About Heather
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties myself, Kara and Dan. I just recently lost my beloved cat of 12 years, Trouble II. One is a senior kitty and one is a younger more rambunctious furball.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure you choose the right sitter for Your animals. Find someone you can trust and someone who truly cares about both the quality of their work and the wellbeing of your cats.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I had a timid and anxious kitty myself and she taught me so much about how to approach cats who have social anxiety. You need to make sure you are aware of the body language you present, and what they are telling you with their own body language. You should always make your moves predictable and slow. They will try and hide and that’s alright, they will come out when they feel safe, always let them come to you and plus… treats can’t hurt.

Heather is truly an exceptional, kind, thoughtful human. My kitto was so lucky to be cat sat by/with her. She followed a somewhat cumbersome routine and actually found a way to make it easier, even teaching me a hack to streamline and guarantee my furball taking her twice-daily med a sure thing! She also went above and beyond what was asked, showing generosity of spirit and love for what she does. She communicated with me each visit, plus shared a photo &/or video. You and your fur babes will be in the best of hands & heart to have her! 😺🙌

Heather was fantastic! We have a very picky cat who needs medication twice a day, and Heather was excellent in administering the meds and keeping us updated regarding his appetite. Highly recommend.

Heather is so incredible. We booked her a week before to see what she was about and our boy liked her very quickly (our cat is anxious little bean) but he was so curious about her and wanted her attention which is always an incredible sign. (He’s a good judge of character) she answered all of our questions, asked about our boy and made sure everything was good. When we left She filtered his litter, cleaned his bowl for us and also watered my one and only plant in the house. Heather is a super star and basically a cat whisperer. It’s very impressive

Heather was great with our little old lady Franceska. She was patient and attentive, helped keep the house clean on her drop in and communicated really well throughout. Will definitely recommend and ask for her help again!

Heather is incredible! She took the best care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did she follow all instructions perfectly and keep our kitties happy, but she was also incredibly diligent about updating us on things around the house. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing the house was in good hands while we were away. Highly 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.
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
