Purrfect Cat Sitting! 😻

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 seven 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, Steve, and Westley the Dread Pirate Roberts, 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.

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.

Heather did an amazing job watching my two cats while my girlfriend and I were out of town for about a week. She did great providing updates and giving them anything they might have needed during the time she was taking care of them and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their cats.

Heather did a fantastic job watching our cat. She is attentive, friendly, is highly communicative, and I felt our cat was safe in her hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her.

Heather went above and beyond to make sure our kitties and home were well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely hire her again!

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.
