Information Heather B. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to discuss your pet's unique needs and daily routine. I like to schedule a 15-20 minute meet and greet within 2-3 days of your booking request to go over the details, meet your pets, and go over any questions we both may have.
A typical day
Visits include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning food areas, scooping and maintaining litter boxes, and administering medications as directed. Depending on your cat’s temperament, I may also include interactive play with wand toys, gentle grooming, or quiet companionship for more reserved cats who prefer a calm presence. You will receive photo and text updates so you can see how your cat is doing after each visit.

Professional Cat Care Specialist
Pet care experience
I provide exclusive cat care - so your cats receive focused, knowledgeable attention from someone who works with felines every day, not as a side service. From shy rescues and socialized ferals to playful kittens and senior cats needing gentle, attentive care, I tailor each visit to your cat’s personality and routine. With decades of experience in feline behavior and care, including special needs and multi-cat households, I bring a calm, consistent presence that helps cats feel secure while you’re away.

Reviews
I was leaving on a longer vacation and was nervous about leaving my cat alone for more than a few days. Heather immediately took those worries away and cared for my kitty like she was a part of her own family. She provided updates every day with pictures that put my heart at ease. If you are looking for a wonderful, kind, and responsive cat sitter then Heather is your girl! 10/10 :)
Heather is so kind and patient. We had a couple of meet and greet sessions, but today was her first time with Charlie, alone. He posed some challenges, but Heather worked through them and Charlie was able to warm up to her. Heather went above and beyond what I expected, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs care.
This was our first time using Rover and Heather went above and beyond our expectations! We looked forward to her updates nightly and absolutely loved the pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation more fully knowing our little fur baby was in wonderful hands. We would you request Heather again in a heartbeat!
Heather is great to work with! She is very caring and even came over in for an emergency visit while we were away traveling. She is very understanding of cats personalities and works with them. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!
