Dana can care for

Cats

Availability

I can care for your cat(s) before and after work hours and weekends (which start on Friday for me, since I WFH on Fridays.) I do have a full time job that requires me to be in the office 4 days a week, so please consider if tending to your pet before work and after work hours would be a good fit for you and your cat(s).

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow and adhere to your specifications closely and over communicate about the happenings surrounding your furry family member. If that means scooping litter twice a day or separating cats so they all finish their meals, I will do it and make sure that completion is communicated. :)

Information Dana Y. would like to know about your pet

Please be detailed if there are things I should be concerned about regarding your pet (i.e. health, dietary, fun quirks!) Sometimes I like to travel with a wand toy and churu treats, let me know if that's ok! For holidays, I would appreciate it if there is a written document or a google document I can refer to so we can reduce any mix ups. :-)

A typical day

When I visit your cat, I start with a gentle greeting and some snuggle time to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to engage in their favorite activities, whether it’s chasing a wand toy, pouncing on a laser pointer, or simply enjoying some quiet petting time. After playtime, I make sure they’re well-fed and take care of any litter box cleaning to keep their space tidy. You can expect a report on whether or not they've been eating! I also enjoy talking to your cat during my visits, as I find that it helps build trust and makes them feel more secure in my care.

I just love cats

Cat care experience

I’ve become a cat person in the last 4 years, thanks to TikTok! Fortunately, I have friends who have let me care and hang out with their cats so I am very confident in my cat whispering skills. 😼 I am very good with socialized cats and believe I can befriend your kitty/kitties within 3 days of spending time with them. Cats are extremely fascinating and entertaining beings- I find caring for them to be very rewarding! I believe in greeting gently and playing before eating, to encourage the prey sequence. I also am a big fan of litter box maintenance as to check on their health. 👀 I do have a full time job, so flexibility on drop ins is appreciated. I look forward to meeting you and your kitty/kitties! 😸

Dana was great! She proactively offered to do a meet and greet and clearly loves cats. Fern had a lot of fun with her! Left the house very clean too!

Dana has been dropping in to look after our cat for the last couple years and has done a wonderful job! She is very communicative and we love getting the pictures and updates every time she drops in - she does a great job of giving our cat affection and play time!
