Highlights
Pet care experience
Personalized In-Home Cat Care
With a lifetime of experience caring for cats, I’ve developed a strong ability to read feline body language and adapt to each cat’s unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of care routines, including administering oral medication, maintaining detailed feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes exceptionally clean while also monitoring for anything out of the ordinary. I pay close attention to each cat’s behaviour and take any changes seriously, ensuring they receive the care they need. When something has required further attention, I’ve acted quickly to support their health and safety. I take pride in providing calm, consistent care that prioritizes a cat’s comfort and minimizes stress.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I closely observe each cat throughout my time with them and pay attention to any changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy levels. If something seems unusual, I respond thoughtfully and keep the pet parent informed. I never try to rush any interactions, by letting the cat set the pace. Whether that means engaging in play or giving them space to relax, this approach helps build trust providing a stable, low-stress environment where your cat feels comfortable and supported. I focus on allowing them to feel safe and in control of their environment. I follow each client’s instructions closely and take pride in being detail-oriented and reliable. Before leaving at the end of a stay, I ensure that common areas are clean, surfaces are tidied, and any agreed-upon tasks are completed so that clients can return to a comfortable, well-maintained home.
Ratings and reviews
We found ourselves in a very stressful situation with an overseas trip planned and our darling kitty requiring emergency surgery only one week before we left. Dana to the rescue! She was amazing, a true cat whisperer, keeping us well informed about kitty's recuperation, with photos and videos we will treasure for years to come. She even took kitty to the hospital to have his stitches removed! We are so grateful to Dana and do not hesitate recommending her for your cat sitting needs.
Dana is always a fabulous cat sitter. During our most recent trip one of our cats started showing signs of a potential medical emergency. Due to her diligence and care he was treated quickly and is on the mend. Dana handled the situation as if he were her own pet and we couldn’t be more grateful!!
Dana took excellent care of my cats and home! She communicates well and send daily photos and videos! My cats love her. Thank You for the peace of mind! :-)
Dana is absolutely amazing, and I would 100% hire her again to cat sit. She is incredibly patient, clean, competent, reliable and trustworthy. I came home to a spotless place, which was such a relief. While I was away, she sent frequent updates, photos, and videos so I always knew how my cat was doing and could see his progress. It took a few days, but with her patience and calm approach, my cat completely came around—it was honestly amazing to watch. You can tell she genuinely cares, and she goes above and beyond. She is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more.
Dana is a great cat sitter! She took excellent care of my 2 cats! She’s patient, kind and send regular updates and cute videos! Thanks!
We absolutely adore Dana. She is so loving with our cats and very communicative with us. On our latest trip Dana went out of her way to accommodate some flight delays and ensure our cats weren’t left without care during our changing schedule. She’s the absolute best!

Schedule
I organize my schedule to provide consistent, dependable care for each client. Drop-in visits can be scheduled based on your cat’s routine, and I'll provide a detailed update after each visit so you always feel informed and connected. For house-sitting, I stay in your home to maintain a stable, familiar environment for your cat. I treat your home with care and respect, and ensure it remains clean and well looked after throughout your time away. I also offer small household support such as collecting mail and caring for plants, as needed.
