Learn More About Dana

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

I have been cat sitting for over 5 years now! I started small with watching friends pets, cats and dogs alike! I then began fostering, and taking care of the cats around my neighborhood. From there I adopted my own cats and never looked back

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 2 cats, Jasper and Stella! Taking care of them is what made me realize how amazing and rewarding cat sitting can be!

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

Introductions of course! :) Making sure the new cat parent is comfortable is my top priority! I know it can be daunting trusting someone new with your cat. So answering and asking as many questions as possible, so we’re both prepared is the best approach. And making sure that they know, Im not just a sitter but also a resource for any cat related questions or concerns they may have! I have researched and studied cat behavior and tend to lend suggestions to parents when warranted!

Dana is thoughtful, thorough, and so sweet. I was leaving my older kitty at home after JUST moving into our house and Dana could recognize how anxious I was about being gone. She took care of my spicy old gal as tho she was her own cat - I could not have asked for more! Dana is truly wonderful.

This was my first time using Meowtel and I'm glad I found Dana. She managed to draw out even my most reluctant cat for some treats and play time and took care of the daily care stuff (litter, wet food, keeping an eye on dry food and water) while I was away. She also sent me pictures and videos, as well as updates of my boys. Would definitely recommend Dana and book her again if schedules allow.

I have the type of cat that insists on being next to me 24/7. She's relentlessly (but adorably?) needy. when I leave her to her own devices for 8 hours, she acts like the world is ending when I return. Every time Dana takes care of her though, I return to a happy, satisfied cat. it's clear that Dana knows what she needs and in my absence, she definitely delivers. Excellent communication, over and above anticipation, and just a kind soul.

We had never left our cat alone for a long stretch before or hired a catsitter, and Dana relieved every bit of anxiety we had and really blew us away with the level of care she provided. It was so clear from every photo and video update that our cat was extremely comfortable with her and well loved. She really took so much care to make sure our social boy was doing well mentally and physically while we were away. 5 stars doesn’t do her justice!!

Dana absolutely went above and beyond for me and my cats. During our meet and greet, the cats instantly loved her and all greeted her enthusiastically, which is honestly hard for two of my shy cats any other time we’ve entroduced a stranger, but even they fell in love with Dana! She was amazingly kind and understanding with me about everything, going absolutely above and beyond for my cats. We did the math wrong for cans needed and she even made sure to grab more. Dana cares so much about the cats she’s looking after, I couldn’t have had a better experience and I recommend Dana 100 times over!! I definitely found my go to cat sitter.

Dana is the absolute best! She followed any instructions I gave and texted me frequent updates to verify. This was great and exactly what I expected - but Dana blew me away with how she got to know my lil Riley. Dana is much more than a sitter. She's not just there to clean the litter box and top off food, she truly wants your cat to have a great experience while you're gone and she takes the time to get to know their unique personality. Riley doesn't make human friends easily and after our brief meet and greet, she waited at the door for a few minutes hoping she'd come back. Dana is rare and I'm happy to leave a glowing review for her but (selfishly) hesitant because I believe she's the best kept secret on Meowtel. Riley can't wait to have her back!

Been using this app for about a year and a half now. Dana is by far the best cat sitter I have worked with. Everything from the Meet & Greet to picking up my keys was stress free, as she quickly built up trust that she would do a great job. While I was gone, my cat Pudge quickly befriended Dana, which is unusual. Dana went above and beyond what I had asked, taking care of Pudge like she was Dana’s own.

Dana was the absolute best, I can’t even describe! My cat is so nervous but for comfortable with Dana very quickly. I felt so at peace knowing my cat was in such good hands. I got regular updates, got asked lots of amazing questions I didn’t even think to discuss, and Dana even picked up on my cat’s favorite activities. she played with my cat and made her feel very happy. Will obviously be booking with her again!!

Dana was truly fantastic! I was away for four days and this is the longest I have ever been away from my girls. I initially felt bad for being away for so long, but knowing Dana was there caring for my two girls provided me with so much relief. She was amazing with both of my girls, and even my shy girl enjoyed her company (she normally hides when I have visitors). Dana followed my care instructions to a T and sent pictures/videos daily. It was so reassuring knowing my girls were safe and happy while I was away. I will definitely book with Dana again :) She is very clearly a cat person!

Frequently Asked Questions

Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

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

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
