The Cat's Meow - Experienced Cat Caretaker

I'm Danae

Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! I have been a Meowtel kitty sitter for over eight years now! I have a lot of experience with our feline companions. Cats are the great love and dedication of my life! I love all cats equally whether easy-going or difficult-to-handle. Some felines want a lot of attention while others just want to know that you are in the room. Each kitty has their own likes and dislikes, just like a human. I will ask you a lot of questions so that I can understand how best to approach and provide a comfortable environment for your kitty.

In the past I have worked as an animal care technician at a no-kill shelter in my home state of Pennsylvania. Currently I volunteer on a regular basis for the LA rescue organization, Kitten Rescue. I also foster and provide TNR services when needed!

Medically speaking, I have received training and am certified in Animal CPR & First Aid. I am also experienced in administering basic at-home medical care for your kitty.

I service the San Fernando Valley, greater Hollywood/Silverlake, Glendale/Pasadena, downtown and east LA areas...

On a personal level, I have three 12-year and two 5-year old fur-kids of my own! All five are rescues from the streets of Los Angeles. My cell is full of pictures of my fur babies living the cozy life so if you would love to see, feel free to ask! Continue reading for a brief bio on my kitty crew!

BIANCA: Rescued from the streets of Van Nuys. She is a senior tuxedo who is Queen of the land/holds the highest office.

VERMONT: Rescued from the Vermont exit off the 101! She is a 5 year old dark tortiseshell. From kittenhood Vermont already had the biggest purrsonality. She wants to usurp Bianca's leadership but has learned to bide her time.

SABRINA: Rescued from the streets of West Hollywood. At 5 years old she is all black and super fluffy! She has the sweetest disposition. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. She is very chatty. Her favorite activity is carrying around her worm toy.

KAMI BUG: Tiny, blind, senior void girl. She doesn't let her lack of sight stop her from ANYTHING! She is a go-getter in a feline's body. She will be the first to greet you at the door whether you be friend or foe. She is brave and fearless in all circumstances.

BURT: My sweetest and only boy. He is a sensitive soul and a great dad to the youngest: Sabrina & Vermont.

Learn More About Danae

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Healing purrs, laughing out loud at some crazy play hijinks, and hearing happy kitty noises when breakfast/dinner is served!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I care for an elderly gentleman who demands his lap time every single visit! He's not patient waiting for me to finish making his meal and cleaning up, and doesn't hesitate to vocally remind me of my snuggle duties. I adore the moment I get to sit down and let him happily jump on my lap for his snuggle and cuddle time. He melts my heart. <3

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

During the meet and greet we will go over emergency procedures and contact info. I will also check that I am able to open all needed doors with the keys/keypad ahead of your trip! All doors are blocked by my large kitty bag when I enter your home to ensure potential feline darters are thwarted in their efforts. We will also discuss home alarm codes and procedures.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I care for my kitty clients during all holidays' except Mother's Day. It is very important that I travel to my home state and spend this holiday with my mother.

Danae took great care of my kitties. my girl, Athena is very shy and with Danae’s patience and attentiveness she came out for the first time with a sitter. My boy, Apollo is very social and had the best time playing with Danae too. Danae checked in each visit and sent the cutest pictures, even ones I couldn’t get myself. I appreciated everything from beginning to end, coming to meet the cats before the visit, asking great questions and ensuring things were takin care of while I was away.

Danae really gave me peace of mind watching my two kitties for the first time because I can tell she really genuinely cares. She seemed very prepared for every situation and very knowledgeable about dealing with giving medications and handling possible seizures since one of my kitties has epilepsy. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Danae and even more satisfied when I returned home from my vacation that they were very well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Danae again when I plan my next vacation. A thankful shout out to Danae for making everything just perfect!!

This was my third time leaving my cat with Danae, and I’m eternally grateful for her. I was away for two weeks. Early in the first week, Danae sent me a video of my cat looking off and immediately suggested and offered to take her to the vet. She took the best care of Biggie until my return. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am for Danae and the way she cares for kitties. Although I was so far away from my baby for so long, I was at peace knowing that she was with Danae. She is the best ever and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Danae!!!

Danae was absolutely incredible with my two cats, Midnight and Skye. We came home to two happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats, which gave me so much peace of mind. While we were away, Midnight unexpectedly came out of diabetic remission and had some very concerning blood sugar readings. Danae handled the situation with such calm, compassion, and attentiveness. She quickly initiated his care, was able to start him on his insulin as directed, monitored him closely, and kept us updated every step of the way with videos, pictures, and thoughtful communication. Knowing he was in such capable hands made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to navigate from afar. She truly went above and beyond, not only meeting their daily needs but giving them extra love and attention that was obvious when we returned home. I am beyond grateful for the care she provided and would trust her with my pets again without hesitation. I highly recommend Danae to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my babies!

I want to share an honest, balanced review so other pet parents can make an informed decision, especially if their pets have medical needs. During my booking, there was a serious medication error involving one of my cats, who is undergoing chemotherapy. Danae gave the chemo pill to my other cat, who is not sick with cancer. They do look similar, but certainly aren’t twins and I provided a very clear medication schedule as well as a one pager of general directions with cat photos). While this was extremely stressful for both me and my cat and ultimately ruined my trip, I do want to acknowledge that once the mistake was identified, she immediately told me what happened, contacted poison control and a veterinarian she knows, provided extra visits to monitor my cat, and refunded my money. I appreciate that she took responsibility and did the right things after the error occurred. She also took my cat to the ER (at my request) and paid for the visit. That said, there were also several issues that left me uncomfortable overall. When I asked to FaceTime to see my cat, I had to repeatedly ask for the blanket to be lifted so I could actually see her (this was right after she was poisoned so I wanted to see her face and basically had to beg her). I was also frustrated when my explicit instructions were challenged — for example, I clearly stated that my cats do not like wearing clothes, and when I asked for a bandana to be removed, I was told that “some kitties like it and it’s comforting,” despite the fact that I’ve known my cats for 13 years and this had already been discussed. I also had to tell her several times that my one cat can’t have dry food or treats even though I told her the day before I left AND it was printed out per the instructions. In addition, the litter box was not maintained as agreed. It was not scooped regularly and was left with very little litter, even though I had left a full bag out. To be fair, I didn’t explicitly say to refill it but I would assume a cat sitter would add more litter to the box given that 2 cats were using it and it visibly almost empty. While I appreciate the accountability shown after the medication mistake, the combination of the error, difficulty following instructions, and basic care oversights made this an extremely stressful experience for me and my cats. I would strongly recommend this sitter only for pets without complex medical needs, and with VERY clear, written expectations confirmed in advance (which I actually did myself but it didn’t seem to help in my case).

Response from Danae

I take full responsibility. This is not an error that I ever want to repeat and have put protocols in place to ensure such a mistake never happens again. Gea's full recovery/wellbeing was and is paramount throughout the entire situation.

If could give more stars I would! Danae went above and beyond when there was an emergency issue in my apartment and my cat needed to be relocated while I was still out of town. You can truly trust Danae with your cat's life, she saved mine from danger!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
