Whether your cat is playful, shy, or senior, I provide thoughtful, low-stress care - always following your routines closely. You can count on regular updates (photos), a peaceful presence, and a true cat person who speaks fluent feline.🐈

Learn More About Heather

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties are Boo and Scout, named after characters in my favorite novel. Boo is a black long-haired kitty who is my lap cat. Scout is what I call a “pumpkin spice” kitty, and she looooooves to be loved on.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cats love the fishing rod toy. I spray the feathers with a little bit of catnip spray, and they do some serious acrobatics!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

With patience. I’ll keep my distance at first, and maybe offer a cat treat. I would say his/her name in a calming tone. The cat needs to make the first move. When he or she is ready I’ll offer my hand so he/she can take a sniff.

The sitter completed the basic responsibilities, but there were several issues during the booking. The litter box was left overflowing, which led to our cat resorting to using the guest bedroom as a litter box instead. We booked 45 minutes per day, but our house system showed visits were much shorter until we reminded her. When we raised this, she acknowledged the oversight and apologized, promising to be more mindful of the time. While she is polite and well-meaning, the overall care fell short of expectations.

Heather was so good with my boys, they sent pictures and kept me updated. I had never used someone outside of my family to watch my cats and it was an amazing experience.

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.

Arlington 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 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!
