About Heather S.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
In a client's home, I follow all the directions for how to care for the cat. I like to do a meet and greet, so that I can take notes and make sure I am caring for the client's kitty in the exact way they would want. I treat the cats as if they were mine, and provide them with attention, food, playtime, and any other care that they would require. I also clean up any cat messes that they sometimes leave behind, so that you won't come home to a surprise several days old.
Information Heather S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your cat has any out-of-the-ordinary care requirements. I am happy to keep things as normal as possible for your cat while you are away.
A typical day
When caring for your cat, I will work to gain their trust, and I will play with your cat with their favorite interactive toy, or give them pets and snuggles if they would like it. I will let your cat choose what it wants to do, as I know all cats are not the same purrsonalities, and some love visitors, while others are wary. I will make sure your cat feels safe around me.

Purrfect Cat Sitting! 😻
Cat care experience
I love cats! I have a lifetime of experience caring for cats, and I can't wait to take care of your cat (or cats) while you are away. I have had a cat ever since I was 7, and I have seen a lot. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, cats with play aggression, cats with purrsnickety habits, and multi-cat households and all the dynamics that go along with that. I currently have eight cats of my own, and I am using clicker training to train my younger cats to do tricks, and take a part in their care. They can high five, fist bump, and sit, along with sitting to get their claws trimmed. I've read several books about cat behavior as well as being enrolled in Cat School. I love playing with my cats and snuggling and interacting with them. I have harness-trained Ginny, Charlie, and Roxie, Indy and Steve, and they all love to go for walks in their stroller around the neighborhood. I also volunteer with a cat shelter and take care of some of their kitties as well. While caring for your cat, I will make sure they have all the essential care a cat needs, and in addition I will spend time playing with them and visiting with them, and giving them pets and scratches. I will treat them like one of my own kitties. If you are concerned about your shy cat, you can rest easy because I have gained the trust of almost every shy cat after just a couple visits. I have experience in giving cats medication (including injections), cleaning up cat messes, and how to do the Heimlich Maneuver for cats.
Reviews
Heather is always super interactive with my little kitten and I never worry about my baby when she is checking on her
Heather was great. She provided excellent care for my cats Ash and Button and kept in regular contact while I was on vacation. Heather assisted with rearranging the feeding area when an ant infestation took over the cat food. I'd definitely recommend Heather to anyone needing a reliable and professional cat sitter
Thanks again for taking such great care of Ricky and Lucy!!😻😻
Heather was amazing with our cat! She provided delightful updates after every drop in visit and was even able to get our not-so-social kitty to come out of his shell. It is very clear Heather loves cats & it was so nice knowing she was there while we were away :)
