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).

This was our third time using Danae to watch our kitties. I’m so glad we found her. She’s reliable, communicative and loves our kitties. One of our cats is afraid of everything, but Danae always finds him under the bed and lures him half way out with treats. One of her goals is to get him to come out while she’s there, and she’ll get another chance because we’re about to book her for a fourth time. If you’re looking for somebody reliable and loving to watch your cats, we highly recommend Danae.

This was the second time we’ve used Danae to watch our kitties while traveling and she was just as great the second time around. We have 2 cats. Our big boy is a shy kitty who hides under the bed but Danae had him (literally) eating out of her hand. Our little girl is super friendly and I loved seeing the videos of her snuggling and playing with Danae. I can confirm that your babies will be well taken care of with Danae!

great experience with Danae watching Bella. Bella is not an easy cat as she requires both subcutaneous fluids and transdermal meds but Danae was able to administer everything without a problem. recommend and would book again!

This was our first time working with Danae and we could not have asked for a better experience. She truly is a cat whisperer. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and one of them has a very regimented and extensive schedule. Right before we left for our trip, our girl Suzy developed some new challenges. Danae was incredibly kind and responsive with all of the last minute changes, including picking Suzy up from the vet and learning her new medication routine, which even included administering subcutaneous fluids. Honestly, I am not sure we would have been able to go on our trip without the trust we had in Danae to care for our babies. She kept us updated with constant communication, went out of her way to make sure the cats were comfortable, and alleviated so much stress for us. I highly recommend Danae to anyone in need of a cat sitter, especially if your pets require medication or have emotional or separation anxiety. She has such a natural way with animals and we could not be more grateful.

Danae is the cat sitter fairy every cat parent dreams of! I couldn’t be more grateful to have found such an incredible person to look after my kitty. I have a senior cat whom I had never left alone before and traveling was always something that made me anxious. Danae made it the most stress-free and pleasant experience ever. She took care of Biggie as if she were her own and I came back after two weeks away to the happiest cat ever (and a spotless house!). Danae really took everything we had gone over in our initial meeting into consideration and went above and beyond to take care of my cat! She also sends the best daily content which made me feel much closer to Biggie whilst being away. I’m so happy I found Danae and will be rebooking next time I’m away. She is the best, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Danae is the best. Our three cats each have different diets, with two requiring mediations. She manages those needs perfectly, even our skittish cat who needs an inhaler. Thank you!

Another great visit with Danae. I swear sometimes my formerly feral boy likes her more than he likes me. :) In the best way - it is such a relief to be able to travel and know my boys are in good hands.

Danae is the absolute best. Two of our cats have medical conditions that require very specific diets and medications, which she took care of perfectly. Additionally, one of ours is a bit of a scaredy cat and requires a preventative inhaler twice a day. We'd previously been hesitant to go away for too long considering ours cats' needs, but Danae gave us complete peace of mind. Thank you so much again!

Danae was attentive, thorough, and great with our attention-obsessed kitties. She sent lots of great photos and descriptive updates, and when we arrived back home, the cats seemed like they had a great time while we were gone.

Donae was very communicative, warm and kind to both us and our kitties! sent professional level photographs of the cats and followed instructions easily.

I was extremely nervous leaving my Precious home with someone I didn't know. This was the first time I've had to do that. I read the profiles of several cat sitters, and I selected Danae. Danae was perfect fit for us. I was able to select Danae and get a confirmation back right away notifying me that Danae had accepted my request for her services. Within a day, Danae and I arranged for our meeting & greet. Everything went smoothly and at warp speed as I had needed. I felt much more confident leaving Precious in the loving care of Danae. Every single day I was away, I got a text report, pictures and/or videos from Danae. My Precious hides under the bed and sofa, as she is easily frightened. Danae made such a beautiful effort in finding her and doing things to lessen her fear. On the last day, Danae was able to make Precious feel safe enough to come 3/4 of the way out from under the sofa to play. I could write a book on the wonders of Danae, but suffice it to say, my Precious and I are forever grateful, and now true fans of Danae. It is so very clear that this isn't just a job to Danae, it is her calling. I trusted my Precious to the care of Danae, and that is one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Danae took great care of our cat Dustin (and my box turtle too!) during the meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions to get to know Dustin and our routines. she communicated clearly and sent us photos and updates each time. Dustin really liked her!

Danae is absolutely wonderful. I felt very confident our 2 guys were in great hands when we were away for a long trip. She took the time to make sure every detail was addressed during our initial meeting, and I could tell she truly cares about the kitties. Our boys are very friendly, and they enjoyed plenty of cuddles and pets while we were gone. I would be confident recommending Danae to anyone!

Danae happily cleaned up barf, brought in my Chewy package, and gave my guys love & care.

amazing Danae managed to sweet talk my shy girls into accepting & enjoying many cuddles & rubs! bravo!!!

This was our first time using a cat sitting service, but Danae put us completely at ease. She is a total pro, and she even got our shy kitten to come out and play and snug after one day. She was great about sending daily updates with photos and checked in prior to the first day she came. We’re grateful for the loving cat care she provided! 10/10 would absolutely recommend Danae.

We were so lucky to find Danae to watch our kitties while we were traveling. She spent plenty of time cuddling with our friendly girl and more time looking for our shy boy (who tends to hide under the bed-he’s not necessarily what you’d consider a social kitty). We appreciated the daily detailed updates, photos and videos not to mention Danae’s kind and gentle demeanor. We’ll definitely hire her again the next time we travel.

I felt absolutely at ease being away for almost two weeks with Danae’s updates and care for Mochi. She was always communicative and helped solve a few issues that arose. Mochi was comfortable with her immediately and I will certainly continue to have her check on him the next time I’m away.

Danae was wonderful as usual! she’s fantastic with our shy girls; she’s a cat whisperer! great with meds (thyroid, asthma) and very communicative with memorable pictures!

Danae had the magic touch with my two very shy little ladies - by the end of the week, she had the girls begging for love and her attention! They barely missed us! 😻 The house was super clean when we got home and - ADDED BONUS - she is THE BEST cat photo taker so we also got the best pics to add to our collection!

Our cats were very well taken care of! Danae sent updates and all visits were timely. She even got our shy one to warm up. We are grateful!

Danae came to the rescue when I needed a last minute check-in for my cats while out-of-town and both kitties seemed to really enjoy her visit. She even accommodated my super shy girl who went into hiding. ☺️ Would definitely recommend!

Danae was amazing with our kitties. Even the shy ones seemed to come out of their shell quickly and enjoyed her company. She sent photos and updates consistently. The environment was also kept neat and clean. We felt very at ease leaving our babies under her care.

I’ve been booking with Danae for many years. I call her my kitty’s best friend because they’ve known her for so long. Danae sends text updates as well as pictures of playtime, brush time, treat time, and snuggle time. They get it all! I always know that my kitties are in good hands and are well cared for and safe. The peace of mind that Danae provides is worth every penny.

Danae was awesome and our cats loved her. I completely trusted her care and wasn’t as anxious as I usually am when I go on vacation. I’d definitely have Danae watching over them again ☺️

I have lived with kitties for 20 years now, and Danae is hands down the best kitty sitter I've met! My boys are in LOVE with her!! I have one cat on meds and special food, and one cat who is very shy, and she handled both like a champ. Some of my friends are jealous that my shy cat likes a woman they *just* met more than they like them, despite the fact they have known him for years (and tried to win him over!) It was also a little stressful leaving home during these crazy COVID times, and Danae made that as easy as possible, even disinfecting areas she touched before I returned home. I wish I could travel more - as I feel better about leaving my cats now than I ever have.

My kitties and I are so grateful to have found Danae! She has won their trust completely in a very short time and helped me immensely with her kindness and attention to detail. She was so clued in to my cats that she alerted me to an issue one of them was having and I was able to get my cat to the vet before it turned into something serious! Danae is a blessing!

Danae was great with our two cats, including dealing with oral medications. She did a thorough visit before our trip and provided charming pics and videos daily. Plus, she was very helpful in helping sort out a remote computer access problem.We will definitely call on her again if our neighbor cat-carer is unavailable.

Danae was AMAZING! Highly recommend and will be using her again. We have three cats that needed quite a bit of attention (wet food twice a day, asthma inhaler for one, monitoring limp and possibly pain medicine administration on another) and Danae was ready to do any and all that was needed. Kept us updated during each visit with photos and videos and brought them toys on her own to keep them entertained. Even though this was the longest we had been away from them (10 days) we felt very safe with them in Danae's capable hands.

This was my first time trying out Meowtel and I feel lucky that I found Danae. She was really great with Kitty who is a 20 year old cat with health problems. I needed her visits at specific times to feed him prescription cat food with a probiotic and she was reliable and attentive. She provided daily updates with texts and photos per my request, and gave him lots of cuddles and love while we were away. Aside from that, we came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat. We will definitely contact her the next time we are in need of a cat sitter for Kitty.

Danae was fantastic with my kittens. Not only did she take care of their litter box and food/water, she took the time to really get to know their likes/dislikes. She spent a good amount of time playing and cuddling with them every day, and she always sent photos and videos to let us know how they were doing. She is also very knowledgable about cats. I highly recommend Danae and will definitely ask her to take care of our kittens again!

Danae is the best! She’s sat for us since 2020 and the only person we can trust to give our cat medication. Thank you!

Danae was phenomenal. Great communication, very detail oriented (both during our meet and greet and during the stay) and the place was spotless when we got back. She even got our cranky senior queen cat to play! Beyond appreciative of all Danae does and so happy to finally have a reliable catsitter. Thanks, Danae!

Danae has taken care of my cats many times, and she is the Platinum/Titanium standard for cat sitting. She really cares for my cats while I'm away. They're fed at the appointed times, the litter boxes are immaculate when I return, and while I'm away she sends pics & videos of her spending time with them & playing with them. Danae has my highest recommendation!

Danae is fabulous. We had a very tricky 'my cat from hell' situation with our senior kitty while we were gone and Danae stepped up and did everything she could to ensure our baby was cared for. TY Danae!

Danae is awesome. Showed real interest in my cat, and was great at giving him all his medications. Now I know who to call when I'm going out of town.

For so many reasons I trust Danae completely. And Ziggy and Ezra love her. I can tell, because when I come home they seem a bit disappointed to see me.. ha! One of my cats has FIC and needs diligent care or his life could be in danger. Knowing that she is taking care of my cats gives me the reassurance I need when I am away from home.

I've used Danae 17 times since I've joined Meowtel and I can't say enough great things about her. My cat Hardy is a real jerk, he hates everyone, yet she has managed to win him over to the point that he looks forward to her visits and play sessions. She's also been exceptional with the various fosters I've had in my home along the way. She is attentive, communicative, and most of a genuinely good human. Book her immediately and don't look anywhere else!!

Danae did another great sitting job with my cats. She gets to know them with all of their quirks. She even does yoga to try and get my people-shy cat to get to know her! Danae also provides great communication and pictures that reassure me that my guys are doing well. Will be booking again!

Danae took wonderful care of my shy, elderly, high maintenance kitty! I was sent updates & photos, and even when I made a mistake with the reservation, Danae was flexible, accommodating, and super helpful! Thanks again :)

Danae was a great cat & bunny sitter! I have 5 cats and 3 bunnies, a lot of animals to keep track of! Each cat has unique needs and instructions which were taken care of efficiently. Danae has a lot of love for animals, I think my animals were perfectly content with her and didn't miss me one bit. Actually one cat missed me thank goodness but the rest were unusually indifferent upon my arrival home which is great I guess. Most important they didn't pee inappropriately in my house for leaving them again, my biggest concern. So happy about that.

Danae is always amazing! We always feel so secure leaving our kitties with her since we know they are in the best hands! Great with medicine (one of our cats need an inhaler every other day) and they always love their playtime with her! She's always on time to feed them morning and night and goes above and beyond in every capacity. Highly recommend!

Danae was very thorough in her first visit, and asked all the right questions. I was very confident in leaving Coco with her. She was also very friendly and I enjoyed her updates. Coco seemed to take to her right away! Thanks for your care, Danae,

Danae was so great! She was super responsive and we promptly scheduled a meet and greet. We had never left our newly adopted kitties before (we've only had them for a few months) and were a little nervous, but Danae put us at ease. We went out of town for the weekend and felt completely comfortable knowing that she was taking great care of Rosie and Elliott. She sent us pictures each day with updates, which was sweet and very much appreciated. So happy we found her!

She was very thorough in taking notes and making sure to get all the details to take care of my cats and sent great updates while I was gone!

Danae was absolutely wonderful! She's super knowledgeable and amazing with cats. She was very punctual, played with babies, and even my shyest boy warmed up to her! I thoroughly enjoyed her updates! Came back to happy cats. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Danae!

Danae was awesome! Her consultation visit instantly put me at ease, I felt like I was leaving my kitties in very capable hands. Danae really took the time to learn each kitty's habits and routines. With each visit she would send updates that showed that she was spending solid time with each kitty. Danae was great at getting my shy girl, Gorilla, to relax and had her eating treats and getting brushed in no time. I recommend Danae and will definitely hire her again!

Danae was simply wonderful. We have five cats and they were all immediately at ease with her, even Pippin, who is notoriously stand-offish. She checked in daily with photos and videos, and completely put our minds at ease while we were away. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be using her services again in the future.

Danae was amazing! This was the first time I hired her to take care of my babies and she made me feel very comfortable right away. She took the time to ask questions and I could see how she genuinely loved cats and wanted to care for them the best she could. She followed my instructions, sent me photos, and gave me updates each day. She left my home clean. My babies loved her too! I highly recommend Danae and will definitely hire her again!

Danae is so good with out kitties, even our older baby who has very particular medication needs that vary from trip to trip. We don't know what we'd do without her!!

Danae did a fantastic job looking after our fur babies while we were out and even helped out with a few things on the side. We came home to two happy ones and a boatload of pictures from while we were away. Danar is the best cat sitter we’ve had yet, and she will definitely be our #1 choice going forward! Thank you Danae!!

This was my second time hiring Danae during an extended time away. The cats instantly remembered her and were excited that their fun play friend was back! Danae even introduced shy Gorilla to a new toy and had the reserved kitty playing like I’ve never seen before. Danae really cares that the cats are happy. I highly recommend her.

Danae was amazing! This was our first time leaving Abby with a sitter, but after meeting Danae all our concerns erased. Communication was top notch, and loved all the update photos/videos she sent. You could tell that Abby was comfortable, and happy to have someone to play with while we were out of town. 10/10 would use again!

Danae made this super easy! Quick meet-n-greet before our trip, and then she sent us videos and photos of our cat playing while we were away. Definitely booking again!

Danae was amazing! She provided us daily updates and pictures, and did a great job of communicating and taking care of our cat. We look forward to working with her again and would strongly recommend her!

Danae is a cat charmer! Even my shy little scaredy-cat came out to greet her. I appreciated her updates and photos. I will definitely book with her again.

Danae is the best! She is super reliable, has great communication and my kitties love her. Also I appreciate that she always has a backup plan in case something unexpected happens.

First time on Meowtel..Danae is the best! I have four cats and they are my lil babies. Danae stayed overnight for 4 days. I felt so comfortable knowing that the kits and our house were in good hands. She was communicative, super helpful, kind, and sent us lots of photos of our kiddos. Thank u Danae!

Danae provided my cats with excellent care. I had one who was very sick and she spent extra time with her, providing her with TLC. I have always been happy with Danae and her communication through the reservation period is outstanding.

Danae provided my cats with excellent care and love. Her care and concern for my cats allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her videos showed us how well my cats responded to her. My cats are already asking to see her again! :)

Danae was fantastic! We got daily updates and either photos or videos every day. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

We have been hiring Danae to take care of our two cats for over a year now and we can't say enough good things about her! We would honestly be lost without her... She makes us feel totally confident when going out of town that our two kitties are in the absolute best care! She's so on top of everything. I used to be anxious when going out of town & that no longer happens with Danae. We appreciate you so much!!!

Danae did a great job with my guys. Her communications reassured me that everything was going well and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My cats responded to her really well, even my bratty one. She is great!!!

Everything was great! Danae is a professional, she gave us daily updates with photos and even movies! I will definitely be a returning client.

Your kitties will have *THE BEST* time with Danae--she is a cat-whisperer par excellence and even the shyest feline will come out to play with her in no time. Danae took careful notes and followed instructions perfectly. My boys loved her and I was confident about their care & well-being while on vacation. Thanks for everything, Danae, I'll hang on to the cute videos of my babies for a future smile!

Another successful trip, with zero worries about our furry friends. Danae even brought them gifts… that they actually played with! As always, so thoughtful and kind and the cats just adore her. Above and beyond! Thank you, Danae!

Danae provides excellent care for my cats. She is persistent in trying to gain the trust of my shy cat and is making great progress. I am so lucky to have found Danae! I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her.

Danae is amazing. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again. She was great with our cats and our detailed instructions, and most importantly - SHE LOVES (I mean LOOOOVES) cats! She'll treat you like her own.

Danae was an amazing companion for my cat! She spent lots of time playing with him. He seemed very happy when I returned from my weekend away. I would love to work with Danae again in the future!

Danae's care of my cats gives me peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved. She also worked with my newest addition and made progress with her coming out of her shyness. I recommend Danae to anyone who cares about their cats.

Danae came in at the perfect time to take care of our boys! Our Bengals can be very high-maintenance, but Danae gave them plenty of love and attention while we were gone, that they seemed well taken care of when we arrived home. She also kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos while we were away, which we greatly appreciated. The boys definitely seemed to have found a new friend!

She is professional, easy to work with, and so good with our cats. I was so at easy on my trip away from my cats knowing she was there to check in on them. I am also so happy to now have someone in mind for next time. Will rebook for sure next time I leave town or even just to have someone come socialize with my cats! Highly recommend 👌

Great experience with Danae. She was kind and our cat loved her. She was on time and flexible for key handoffs. Professional and would hire her again!

We were excited to have Danae take care of Kitty again while we were out of town. She was very accommodating with our older cat’s needs and provided updates with photos and videos. We highly recommend Danae!

The best cat sitter on the market, so communicative and deals easily with last-minute changes, meds, and special instructions like a pro!

Danae is great!! She’s so on top of everything which is such a relief when you’re away from home. She genuinely cares about your little ones and has amazing knowledge about taking care of kitties. She sends great updates too! Definitely going to continue using her :)

Dance was great with my cats and made sure all of their needs were mer. She communicated with me and sent great photos.

Danae has been a wonderful guardian and pal to our family of four kitties! She is extremely organized , compassionate , and a true lover of all things cat!!! Danae always kept us in the loop with great Photos and updates!! we felt really at ease knowing how much she loved her job and kitties. we came home to very happy kitties and an immaculate house! thank you !!

Danae was a highly recommended referral 4 years ago, been working with her ever since. I have a good numer of animals, very hard to leave sometimes. Danae is so reliable and great with the animals, makes leaving a little easier.

Danae is very good with my cats. She always lets them know that they are loved and sends me videos and texts to let me know they are ok. Highly recommend!

Danae was great with my kitties while I was traveling!! She took great care of them, was super communicative and sent me adorable photos every visit.

Danae is an amazing cat sitter. She has watched our cats several times now and it is such a relief to know she has it all handled.

Danae is always wonderful with my boys! I feel so much better leaving them with her looking after them.

Book with Danae - she is a cat whisperer and has calmed even my most anxious cats with her soothing approach!

Danae is lovely! So detail-oriented and conscientious. She took wonderful care of our two kitties. They both seemed well-fed and content when we returned home. I definitely recommend Danae!

We love Danae! Danae made our kitty so happy while we were away for two weeks. Danae went above and beyond to make sure our boy was well taken care of and loved, while also going above and beyond looking after our apartment as well. will definitely be using Danae in the future.

Danae was so friendly and attentive. She genuinely cared for the well being of our cat. So glad she was able to cat sit for us twice on my wife and my Christmas vacation. Would book her again in a heartbeat!

Danae is truly the best. She is always on time and is so caring for our pets. We are so lucky to have her. Leaving your pets can be nerve racking but Danae leaves us at ease! She goes above and beyond.

This was my second time leaving my cat under Danae's care. She did an absolutely fantastic job! He seemed so happy when I returned. Thank you for being an amazing professional, Danae!

Danae was great handling my two special needs calico girls. They were angels for her.

She was wonderful. Very friendly and did everything we asked as picky cat owners with picky cats. Absolutely recommend.

Danae never fails! When we got home, our cats DIDN'T EVEN CARE. That's how good she is.

Danae is the perfect cat sitter. Friendly, professional, gifted with animals and a huge cat lover. She was friendly, warm, and very committed to my cat's safety and wellbeing. Will be hiring her again!

I never have to worry when Danae is taking care of the cats!

Second time working with Danae! our cat loves her. She’s reliable and sends great updates.

I always feel better traveling when Danae is looking after my boys.
