I'm Henry
Cat Sitting in Houston, TX
Hello! I am a long-time Houston (and now Heights) resident and a dedicated advocate for feline well-being. Since the start of the pandemic, my wife and I have opened our home to over 250 foster cats and kittens. While she was the primary caretaker, I was the "boots on the ground" support—handling high-energy playtime, administering liquid medications, feeding, cleaning litterboxes and clinic transport.
Why Choose Me?
* The "Rescue" Eye: My extensive experience with fosters has trained me to spot the subtle signs that a cat isn’t feeling their best. I know the difference between a cat that is simply shy and one that requires medical attention.
* Medical Experience: I am comfortable and patient when it comes to... About Me
Hello! I am a long-time Houston (and now Heights) resident and a dedicated advocate for feline well-being. Since the start of the pandemic, my wife and I have opened our home to over 250 foster cats and kittens. While she was the primary caretaker, I was the "boots on the ground" support—handling high-energy playtime, administering liquid medications, feeding, cleaning litterboxes and clinic transport.
Why Choose Me?
* The "Rescue" Eye: My extensive experience with fosters has trained me to spot the subtle signs that a cat isn’t feeling their best. I know the difference between a cat that is simply shy and one that requires medical attention.
* Medical Experience: I am comfortable and patient when it comes to administering liquid medications, ensuring your cat gets their treatment without the stress.
* Versatile Temperament Handling: Whether you have a "spicy" kitten, a senior who needs quiet companionship, or a "hider" who needs a patient presence, I’ve seen and handled every feline personality type.
* Professional Reliability: As a retired Senior Business Analyst and a local homeowner, I bring a level of stability and professionalism to my visits. I understand the importance of home security, clear communication, and absolute punctuality.
What’s Included in Every Visit
* Personalized Interaction: Playtime, brushing, or just quiet company—whatever your cat prefers.
* Health & Wellness Check: Monitoring food/water intake and litter box habits.
* Home Care: Bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure.
* Daily Updates: High-quality photo or video updates so you can see exactly how your furry friend is doing.
I look forward to meeting you and your cats for a free Meet & Greet to ensure we are a perfect match!
Learn More About Henry
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Having fostered over 250 cats, what I enjoy most is the 'breakthrough'—that moment a shy or stressed cat decides to trust me. I find it incredibly rewarding to decode different personalities and provide the specific type of companionship they need, whether it's high-energy play or a quiet presence. Equally, I enjoy the peace of mind I can give to owners; knowing they can travel without worry because their cats and home are in capable, observant hands is very fulfilling for me.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We currently share our home with our resident rescue cats Mochi and Lulu, but our household is always full of love as we’ve fostered over 250 cats and kittens since the pandemic. We treat every foster as if they were our own—providing the same medical attention, socialization, and 'home-style' comfort we give our permanent pets. This experience has taught me how to bond quickly with new personalities while ensuring every cat, whether a resident or a guest, feels safe and cherished.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My process begins with a Meet & Greet. During this meeting, I let the cat set the pace for interaction while I walk through the owner's routine: verifying feeding/medication instructions, testing home access/keys, and identifying favorite hiding spots. I treat this as a working session to build trust and ensure I have a complete 'safety map' of the home before the first visit.

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!
