I'm Dani
Cat Sitting in Osseo, MN
February of 2026 we had to say good bye to Slinky Hoover after 18 years together, but Echo Josephine is adjusting well. She'll be 16 in November of 2026. She's pretty chill, loves naps and snacks. When the weather is nice I take her out in her stroller and she enjoys looking at everything. Sometimes I can take her out but she will try to chance a squirrel or two if given the opportunity!
Growing up I had a couple... Hello! My name is Dani. I just moved to Minnesota from South Dakota, and I currently work at Banfield Pet Hospital training at a veterinary assistant after working in the healthcare and food industry 15-20 years. It's all been rather exciting!

Growing up I had a couple cats with my mom, and though they have since passed, my love for felines (animals in general) and making sure they have the best care possible has always been at my core. I'm super empathetic and love caring for animals.
I am available most days of the week (depending on your needs and my work schedule) and would be able to spend the night as needed. I'm very flexible and accommodating.
I take pride in a job well done, and do what's needed to make sure your cats are well taken care of and keep your home safe. While on the job I will: clean and refill water dishes, refill food bowls, clean litter box at the very least once a day (more if needed), and play with them as much as they want! I am comfortable with providing pet medications, and I can also do some light housekeeping like taking out the trash, do any dishes, and will definitely clean up any messes that arise on the job.
I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend <3
Learn More About Dani
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Love it! I have been cat sitting for friends for over a decade, and have been with Meowtel now a few years. It's a great way to build community.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Meeting new clients and their cats. It gives me an opportunity to help someone out and make a new furry friend.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I love all cat sitting gigs. They all have such different personalities, and I love the ones that love to cuddle. It's therapeutic for both of us!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Echo Josephine <3 she'll be 16 in November of 2026. I've had her since she was a kitten. I found her in a cat carrier next to a garbage. I immediately took her to the vet and they took care of her for like 5 days and then gave me a call. We had a trial period with her and it wasn't until the end of the last day did Slinky Hoover decide she could stay <3 He was my first cat, he lived with me for 18 years, and we miss him every day. XO
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Go with your gut! There's a lot of nice folks out there, and some times you just have to trust the universe and give someone a try <3 I also recommend doing a meet-n-greet so the client feels confident with their hire :)
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I schedule a meet-n-greet prior to the reservation date to get to know the client and the cat, so I can understand their needs and the layout of where their food/water/litter box is, so that the client can feel comfortable with hiring me to watch their babe(s). We can go over schedules and accommodations at this time.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Always check that doors are locked properly, double-check and make sure they're not stuck in a closet or something. And I watch very carefully when I am entering/exiting someone's home.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! Most of the major holidays I am available.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I usually bring a sweatshirt of mine to the meet-n-greet and leave it there for the cat to get used to my scent. Then during the visit, I will sit on the floor or nearby them to let them feel safe and allow them to approach me on their own. This usually works great! If they're still being shy, treats are a great way to make friends.

Dani was absolutely wonderful with our two senior cats, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our cats are 16 and 20 years old, and our oldest, Tater, is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice per day. On top of that, our younger cat, Frannie, is extremely skittish around strangers and doesn't take kindly to disruptions in her routine. Dani has such a gentle, calm demeanor with the cats that Frannie warmed up to her immediately, which is really saying something! It's clear that Dani loves and understands cats and all their quirky weirdness. Beyond being great with the kitties, Dani was incredibly reliable and communicative. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter, was punctual with every visit, and sent us updates with pictures and videos twice a day throughout our trip. We very quickly felt confident that our cats were in excellent hands, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away. Overall, just a fantastic experience. Five stars, no hesitation, and we'll absolutely be booking with Dani again!

Dani was wonderful and we’d definitely trust her with our cats again! One of our cats has some complicated medical issues and Dani was very responsive and accommodating when we needed to make adjustments in his care. He enjoyed all the love and attention and our other kitty who is super shy around strangers even made some appearances, which is a huge testament to Dani!

Dani was absolutely wonderful with Ollie! Caring for a diabetic cat comes with a little extra responsibility, and she was so patient, attentive, and loving with him. She made sure he was taken care of and even gave him plenty of snuggles while I was away. It means so much to be able to travel knowing your fur baby is in good hands, especially when they have special needs. I could tell Ollie was loved and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Dani watch him again. Highly recommend! ❤️

I’m so glad I booked Dani! I was anxious about leaving my cats. Having her stop in eased by mind about leaving my kitties for a few days. I had Dani stop in to clean the litter, make sure the automatic food and water are functioning properly, and to just socialize with the cats while I was away. Such a better experience than asking a random person in my building to stop in! Dani was very responsive, professional, kind, and great with my kitties. She sent me videos and photos too! I would absolutely recommend Dani as an animal sitter and would give her more than 5 stars if I could.

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.

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!
