Loving & Low-Strsst home for cats

Hello! I’m Dan, a lifelong cat lover, owner, and dedicated Winnipeg sitter. To me, cats are family, and I believe in giving them total freedom. I never use cages. I have a dedicated, quiet room in my home specifically designed to help shy or timid cats feel safe and adjust at their own pace. Cage-Free & Stress-Free: Total freedom to roam, plus a private room for shy cats to acclimate safely. Custom Care & Health Experience: 8+ years handling interactive play, senior care, special diets, and medication administration. Daily Peace of Mind: Photo and video updates sent every day so you never miss a moment. Tell me about your cat’s favorite routines and quirks. I’d love to host them!

Dave my cat has not been looked after outside my home for more than 10 years. He’s 17 and I was concerned about how he’d handle not being in his own environment. Plus, he’s gotten pretty deaf. Dan was communicative and kept me up to date with messages and videos. Dave gradually spent some time with Dan’s cat, which was a bonus. Dave did well! He ate his food and approached Dan. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan. She’s gentle and caring.

Dan was just fantastic! My cat Stella often takes a while to warm up to new people and she warmed up with no time at all. Dan sent daily videos and pictures and kept my mind at ease! We will definitely book with her again!

My cat stayed with Dan for a long weekend and he looked like he was very comfortable! She is very friendly and took great care of him. I'd definitely bring him back to stay with her in the future!

Dan was so amazing! We were really concerned since it was our cat’s first time away from us for so long. She always kept communication and sent updates. The videos and pictures were really helpful. She was patient and so understanding with our cat. He sensed her care and become comfortable with her. I highly recommend Dan. I will 💯 book with her again.

Schedule

Pet care fits well into my routine during evenings and weekends. On weekdays, I am available in the evenings for feeding, check-ins, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have more flexible availability and can provide longer visits and more attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a safe, pet-proofed home environment specifically designed for feline comfort. I strictly follow the owner's detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, hygiene, and any medical needs. I prioritize clear communication, providing daily photo and video updates so owners feel completely at peace knowing their beloved pets are in a secure and loving home.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning health check and fresh water/food. For cats, I incorporate several play sessions using interactive toys and laser pointers to keep them mentally stimulated. I also dedicate quiet time for grooming and cuddles, ensuring they receive the same affection they get at home. My routine is structured yet flexible enough to match each pet's unique energy levels.

Cats
Dan can host up to 3 pets per night
Please let me know about your pet’s temperament, especially how they react to new environments or other animals. I need to be informed of any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or specific triggers like loud noises. Knowing their favorite hiding spots or preferred ways of being handled helps me provide the most stress-free and personalized care possible from day one.
