I am a cat person who understands cats and will take care of your cat as though they were my own. I also love to take cat pictures!

Information Dana W. would like to know about your pet

Food schedule & amount Preferred veterinarian Medications Any recent health issues - including any vomiting Behavioral issues that might come up Favorite toys How friendly or shy is your cat?

A typical day

Let me know what your cat's favorite toys are! Do they lose it for a wand toy or love to run after crinkly balls? Even thought cats are more independent than dogs, they typically still need daily stimulation and play time. Maybe your cat doesn't have a favorite toy, but loves to curl up on the couch for cuddles and purrs.

Uptown Professional Cat Care

Pet care experience

Hello Uptown! It's been awhile, but I've finally opened my books back up to new clients. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend(s)! During the summer months as an elementary teacher, I am a professional pet sitter living in Uptown with my sweet, clingy tuxedo cat Fig. I provide both dog walking and cat sitting, while specializing in providing professional cat care visits that go beyond just feeding your cat(s) and cleaning the litter. While cats are a more "low maintenance" pet than dogs, they still need love and attention when their favorite humans are out of town. Whether your cat enjoys spending time cuddled up, would prefer to chase a wand toy around, or likes to lay low and watch from afar, I will make sure your favorite feline is well taken care of.

Dana was awesome! It was our first time traveling since getting our cat, Mochi, and we were a little nervous. Mochi sometimes doesn't do well with new people, but she took to Dana very quickly! Dana also sent us photos/videos of Mochi that helped ease our worries. I would def. recommend booking with Dana!

Dana was great with our cat while we were away- our cat can be very aggressive and fearful towards strangers, and dana braved it out and made sure she was well cared for. I am so grateful and would definitely book with her again!

Dana was great! She was very easy to communicate with, provided daily updates, and all was well with our cat when we returned. We'll be requesting Dana's services again!

Our dog, Sunny, loved Dana from the start. This was the first time we've used Dana and we have already scheduled her for our next trip. We plan to use her when needed if she is available. I can whole heartedly recommend Dana.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
