I'm Heather | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi! I am a total animal lover, but cats are definitely my favorites! I grew up with and have had multiple cats as pets, my housemates have always had cats, and I love spending time with my friends’ cats. I’ve been cat sitting for almost 25 years for friends and through other services similar to Meowtel. I have always been a natural cat whisperer and even super shy or grumpy cats warm up to me quickly. During drop in visits, if I have the time, I don’t mind spending extra time playing with or petting your cats when they are really enjoying my company, mostly because I just love being around cats. I look forward to caring for your kitties! I currently work on research vessels in Antarctica during the winter months and at professional motorcycle races during the summer months. Since I travel a lot for work, I very sadly cannot have a cat of my own at this time. That’s why I love cat sitting (when I am home), so I can get still get some kitty loving and spend some quality time with them to fill that void in my life. I am comfortable caring for ca...

Learn More About Heather

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

I have been cat sitting for more than 25 years for family, friends and clients. I have taken care of an extensive variety of cat personalities with various medical needs.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part of cat sitting is kitty snuggles and hearing a cat purr. I really love the affection that some cats can give.

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

Around timid or anxious cats I try to make sure I’m quiet and make slow movements so I don’t startle them. I will sit quietly and try to coax them out with treats so they can get to know me, but allow them to approach me at their own pace. I will hold my hand so they can smell me before I try petting them. I’m always mindful of their behavior and will back away if they seem uncomfortable or stressed.

I couldn't be happier with the care my cat Mia received! Mia is quite anxious and sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, so I was a bit worried about leaving her. However, Heather was incredibly patient and understanding of Mia's unique needs, and she took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe. I came home to a relaxed and happy cat, which is all I could ask for. Highly recommended for anyone needing a compassionate and attentive pet sitter!

Heather was wonderful! She is so communicative and even got my super shy cat to come out and spend time with her. It’s such a relief to find someone who is comfortable administrating my cats asthma inhaler everyday, I’m really happy I found Heather!

The reservation went well. I received thoughtful and detailed updates about the cats throughout the visit. The cats seemed at ease upon returning, which is good being that my cats are pretty needy.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
