Cats Are My Best Friends And Companions

I'm Danielle

Cat Sitting in Sun Valley, CA

Well meowdy there,
My name is Danielle and cats are my best friends and companions in life!
I love to sing to cats, make them feel comfortable by offering a welcoming and friendly environment for them and taking great care of them while making them feel safe and sound with my undivided attention.
I really love to play my guitar and playing a nice and relaxing melodic tune to help my own cats in my home relax and unwind after a long day!
I have a habit of making many the cats that I look after feel comfortable around me...
Well meowdy there,
My name is Danielle and cats are my best friends and companions in life!
I love to sing to cats, make them feel comfortable by offering a welcoming and friendly environment for them and taking great care of them while making them feel safe and sound with my undivided attention.
I really love to play my guitar and playing a nice and relaxing melodic tune to help my own cats in my home relax and unwind after a long day!
I have a habit of making many the cats that I look after feel comfortable around me. Many of the cats that I have previously and currently catsit for always seem to welcome my company with ease as soon as we meet each other!
One of the things that I like to do is to hum a nice and gentle hum of a random song that might be in my head very lightly and gently around the cat if they're feeling stressed, anxious or lonely. This has seemed to calm most of the kittens and cats down that I would cat sit for very nicely.
My goal is be their best friend and companion that they can come to, relax and rely on at all times.
I want to give each cat that I watch my full and uninterrupted attention to all of their needs.

Learn More About Danielle

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have 4 years of cat sitting experience under my belt with many friends and family trusting me with taking care of them, making them feel as comfortable as possible and playing with them equally with lots of love!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I personally love spending as much quality time with each cat, learning about their behavioral patterns, how they express themselves as well as understanding their love language and learning about their unique personalities!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I had a cat sitting reservation recently where this one cat wanted lots of cuddles and while I was changing their water and food bowl, they decided to playfully tap the top of my head when they wanted more cuddles. I honestly couldn't help but feel happy about this and grateful for my job of watching over and taking care of beautiful and adorable felines while creating a beautifully strong bond with them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have about 3 kitties named Poppy, Puppy and Peony who are not only sweet, kind and very playful but they are also very generous, supportive and extremely loving.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Be sure to have lots of fun and know that every cat that you look after is a good and dear furry friend that loves you right back!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I love getting to know the new parent as well as their cat and their general daily routine, their likes and dislikes and learning about each cat's personalities and quirks.

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

I usually spend time with the cat or cats and make them feel as welcome as possible during my entire time with them. I always like to allow them to feel welcome and comfortable around me at all times which usually happens more than not. My goal is to make each cat I take care of and watch over feel safe and happy with my warm presence.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during the holiday seasons to watch over any and all cats of all ages, tall or small.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I personally love playing with a toy that is attached to a string like a little mouse mostly because not only will the cat have a fun time with playing with the toy by we can both have fun playing together while forming a friendly bond with one another.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I usually tend to learn each cat's emotional patterns and respect them while giving them the space that they need, as well as give them as much love and attention should they call for it. What usually works for me whenever I'm around and anxious cat are giving them slow love blinks to assure them that everything is gonna be alright and that they're in a safe and loving environment with me. The cat usually seems to calm down and relax a bit once this happens.

Dani has watched our three cats (two seniors) overnight multiple times and the cats love her! Pepper gets fed twice a day while the others are free-fed, and she handles it like a pro. This latest go-around through the Meowtel app was no different. thanks Dani!

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.

Sun Valley cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
