Learn More About Danica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one black cat named Spyro, who I got over two years ago. He's around 9 or 10 years old, and I'm obsessed with him. Waiting almost three decades for a cat makes having him all the more special.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am typically available during all holidays.

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

I'm patient with them and let them say hi when they're ready. I sit with them and sometimes sing to get them more comfortable with my presence and voice.

This was the third time we had Danica take come in and take care of our cat’s needs. Her updates and pictures kept us informed of how our cat was doing. Dependable and caring, we plan on engaging Danica to take care of our cat as many times in the future as she is available for when our cat needs her!

This is the second time Danica has taken care of Kat; as with the first, Kat was well taken care of. Her updates with pictures didn't just keep us informed, but brought us joy. We will definitely engage Danica again when Kat needs caring for. In fact we have already booked Danica for our next trip!!!!

Once again, Danica came to the rescue for me on short notice when my regular cat sitter got ill. She is soooo good with my shy baby and all her little nuances. I’m truly grateful to have Danica willing to take such great care on such short notice.

Danica was amazing with my little Nutmeg. She did a fantastic job giving Nutmeg her inhaler each day, playing with her, sending me great photos and updates, and being there for me so I could be with family. She was a lifesaver. I’d absolutely book with her again. 🐈💕

Danica took her cat-sitting seriously and went above and beyond with taking care of mischevious cat. She was also an excellent communicator.

Danika took loving care of my cats and was very easy to stay in touch with. Things were in order when I returned and the cats were happy. During our meet and greet, Danika’s immediate attention was on meeting the cats. I find that to be one of the best ways to tell how well your cats will be cared for - when someone focuses their attention on interacting with your cats right off.

Danica has taken care of Posie 3 times while we've been away. She is reliable and trustworthy and takes the time to talk to Posie, even though our cat is not very friendly to strangers. We will continue to ask for Danica the next time we go away.

Danica was great and managed to get even our shy kitty out to play. She sent daily updates and photos without us even requesting them. We would definitely hire her again!

Danica was great with our kitties—especially the one who is slow to warm up to new people. By day two of her visits, both kitties were out and comfortable with her. Her gentle approach clearly won them over! Danica responded to all chat messages quickly (always within an hour, and often within minutes) and was consistently communicative, sending photos of the kitties during each visit. While one task was accidentally overlooked during a visit, Danica was immediately accountable and responsive to our feedback. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Alexandria 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.
