Pet care experience

#1 Cat Lady in Houston

Not just a cat lady but THE cat lady. Your fur babies will be treated like my fur babies. I have lived with and took care of cats all my life. I have several spoiled fur babies now. I have done volunteer work in the cat department at the HSPCA. I have several friends who rely on me to take care of their cats when they go out of town. I am known not just as a cat lady but THE cat lady. Every cat is unique and must be treated as such. If your cat is friendly and outgoing, great. If she’s shy, that’s ok too. I have had my share of aggressive ones as well. Nothing new to me. Your babies will be well taken care of if cared for by me.

She kept me updated & I appreciated knowing all was well. I got photos & feedback on which catfood she was ignoring & which catfood she liked!! (A daily news event!) this was my first time & I am thrilled to have a professional do this without having to impose on my neighbors. Whew! She will get lots of business from me. Win-Win!

Danielle is amazing! That says a lot for me as someone who is also a sitter and been doing this full-time for five years. It’s very hard to find a good person let alone an amazing person and she far exceeds expectations. I came back to a very happy cat and a clean home.

Daniele was a real pro! This was our first trip away from our recently adopted cats. We were a bit anxious about leaving them. However, they were in great hands with Daniele checking in. We would to use her services again and highly recommend to others!

Daniele was incredible! She loved our cats for us while we were on our honeymoon. We could not have been happier that she was our pet sitter!!

Pet sitting is all that I do. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies and their needs in addition to taking care of my own fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a clean and healthy person and I like to keep my fur babies clean and healthy. I have been best friends with hand sanitizer and Lysol for years. What was once seen as a bit OCD has turned into a good thing now. Besides cleanliness, I will give your fur babies plenty of snuggles.

Pets

A typical day

I’m a snuggler but we all need a little bit of exercise. A walk around the block is fine, if you live near a dog park, great. If I’m taking care of your cat and he/she is still active, let me know. I bring my laser pointer with me and sometimes cat nip.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Daniele can host up to 1 pet per night
Is your dog viscous in any way? Has he or she ever bit anyone? Are they good walkers? I don’t have a breed preference. They are all cute. Do your cats try and escape? I need to know these things.
