Safety, trust & environment

I diligently follow instructions left by the client to ensure the pet’s comfort and safety. I’m very good at making sure cats don’t get outside, as my cat was quite the escape artist! I’m communicative with the client and send updates and pictures. I prioritize the pet’s comfortability and am patient with them.

Information Dara D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behaviors I should be aware of. This will help protect the pet’s safety and my own.

A typical day

I’ll make sure to give lots of pets and play with the cat(s) if that is what they enjoy (I recognize that some cats want nothing to do with us humans😆).

Reliable, compassionate cat lover

Cat care experience

I’ve had cats for most of my life and am good at reading their body language and being respectful of their different moods. I want to ensure all cats feel loved and comfortable. I have over 1 year of experience volunteering with the homeless cats in a Houston animal shelter, ranging from kittens to older cats. I’m able to do general cat care such as feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter, playing, and of course lots of love!

Dara is absolutely amazing. She is always professional, warm, and highly reliable. My cat is always in the best hands and completely happy with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter.

Dara provided excellent care for my senior cat. Dara showed up on time every day, played a little with my cat, and made sure her food and water were well supplied. She also sent great pics, so I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away. Her communication was great, and I would not hesitate to use here again when I must leave town.

Amazing cat sitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away for nearly two weeks and kept me updated throughout the trip. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in good hands. Highly recommend!

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.
