Safety, trust & environment

Having grown up around cats, I understand boundaries and how read cats. I am always aware of safety concerns and am vigilant for any hazards. I have no problem enforcing boundaries like restricted areas.

Information Daniel W. would like to know about your pet

Their habits, their favorite toy, their comfort of being picked up, their food preferences, their vet, their meows, their restrictions, their favorite hiding spot, their health, their relationships,

A typical day

I would ask for a favorite toy and interact with them using that. It all depends on the cat, sometimes their favorite activity is just sitting in the doorway staring at me. But unless actively deterred by the animal, I would try to engage them in order to promote socialization and exercise

Every cat is treated like royalty

Cat care experience

I have grown up with cats and have been around them my entire life, and would love to add your cat(s) to the ones that I know. Though new to Rover, I have cat-sat locally for the past 6 years for friends and their referrals. I am happy to take care of any personality and can tailor care to suit every cat. I am comfortable with medicine application, litter box/hairball cleaning, and anything else specific your pet needs. In the end, I take care of every cat as if they were one of my own two furballs: Lord and Liege. This means only the best care only fit for kings.

Daniel was absolutely fantastic and provided excellent care to Mochi. His communication was great and we'd love to work with him again!

Daniel took such good care of my girl for back to back trips! My biggest concern for the 2nd (an international family trip for 8 days) was her being taken care of and after our meet n’ greet and the first short trip- i felt all my concerns alleviated and she was in amazing hands! Highly recommended!

Danny took great care of my cat Luna! She is normally very anxious around new people, but she warmed up to him quickly. Danny was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and detailed info about how each visit went. I would definitely recommend him to any cat parents in need of a Rover!

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.
