Cat Sitting in Fort Worth, TX

--Meet & Greets are always free of charge!--

Hi! I'm Dana, and I **love** cats! Each kitty is unique, and I enjoy meeting new cats, making them feel comfortable, and earning their trust! I have volunteered with cat rescue organizations as well as the shelter. Our home is run by three domestic long hair kitties (all rescues)! The entire family adores cats, and I cannot wait to meet yours! I have had so much fun with my Meowtel kitties so far, and I am really hoping to expand this business. :)

When I am not keeping your kitties happy, I teach college English classes. Cats and books are two of my greatest loves! If you are in Fort Worth (especially Fairmount or Ryan Place) or...

Hi! I'm Dana, and I **love** cats! Each kitty is unique, and I enjoy meeting new cats, making them feel comfortable, and earning their trust! I have volunteered with cat rescue organizations as well as the shelter. Our home is run by three domestic long hair kitties (all rescues)! The entire family adores cats, and I cannot wait to meet yours! I have had so much fun with my Meowtel kitties so far, and I am really hoping to expand this business. :)

When I am not keeping your kitties happy, I teach college English classes. Cats and books are two of my greatest loves! If you are in Fort Worth (especially Fairmount or Ryan Place) or other parts of Tarrant County, I'd love to meet your kitties! I am available throughout the days and evenings.

I can assist with most medications; although, I do not have experience with injectables.

One of the reasons that I work with Meowtel is that, as a cat owner, I know how challenging it can be to find a reliable, caring. sitter. In addition to the reviews provided, my clients consistently mention that their kitties seem to love being around me and are happy upon their return home. I have been called a "Cat Whisperer" many times. I do my absolute best to treat each kitty as an individual and learn their likes, dislikes, and so on. If you have a camera in your home, you will often see my sitting on the floor and petting, playing, or just talking to your pets (if kitty is shy).

In addition to feeding, petting, playing, and scooping, I will assist with your mail, plants, and light settings! :)


Please note: Meowtel insurance only applies to *indoor* cats.

Learn More About Dana

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats and pet parents! I tell all of my new clients that the reason I cat sit is because I know that it can be challenging to find a reliable person to watch kitties. Unfortunately, we have had some bad cat sitters in the past at my home. So, I chose to work with Meowtel to give back to others and provide kitty parents with reassurance that their cats will be in good hands when they are away from home!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! We have two cats; both are domestic medium hair and both were rescued! Their names are Sagan (male) and Scout (female).

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am most often available during holidays; however, I may travel during the holidays at times.

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

Each cat is unique, but cats tend to view the world on their terms - which is one of the many reasons we all love them so much! I approach all new cats by seeing if they will come to me first. If not, I will offer them the back of my hand in a calm manner and on their level. Sometimes, I will just sit in the middle of the room and talk to kitty until he or she is willing to spend time with me. Honestly, the way that I interact with all cats is dependent upon their preferences. However, I always allow the cat to guide the interactions! :)

Our initial meet demonstrated an instant sense of comfort with choosing Dana as a pet sitter. Dana exhibited an immediate expertise on cat sitting. She was patient, kind, kept me informed of all visits with pictures and short blogs. My senior cats are used to traveling and having sitters check on them so they are very social and quite talkative. Dana took it in stride and said nothing but nice things. She did such a great job that she was rebooked before the initial reservation was completed.

Dana was pure professionalism from day one. She came prepared to our first session to learn as much as she could about Orion to make take care of him but also make him feel safe and comfortable with her. She gave us timely updates about his wellbeing, what did for the day and pictures of his activities. After the first meet and greet I felt he would be and good hands, and sure enough we came back to a healthy AND happy kitty. Thank you Dana.

Dana has been amazing with our kitties. We had a specialty need that was well taken care of for our older cat by Dana. She is always prompt and responsive to our kitties' needs. We are blessed to have found her and will continue booking with her.

Dana was a perfect match and did an excellent job. We were updated daily with pictures and information. She went above and beyond with our cat Chloe who is very shy and hides. Thank you, Dana. We will be using you again and again.

We have been lucky to have Dana come to our home and care for our kitties for over a year now. She was a blessing to our older kitty when she was sick. Dana took such good care of her. I recommend her highly, even though I’d hate to have her be booked next time we travel.

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.

Fort Worth cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
