Fairview · Kitsilano · Shaughnessy · Vancouver, BC
Based in Vancouver, BC, I've spent almost a decade caring for cats in the place they're most comfortable: their own home. I follow routines to the letter, because the best care is the kind your cat barely notices.
I've always been a cat person. The kind with cat mugs, photos of cats on the wall, a
small hot pink Maneki-Neko stuffed doll sitting on my shelf, and absolutely no shame about it.
After
decades of living with my own cats and a lifetime of being completely obsessed, I turned that passion into a
profession, and never looked back.
What I bring to every sit goes well beyond a love for cats: a sharp eye
for detail, years of customer service experience, and a genuine commitment to following your lead, because
nobody knows your cat better than you do.
Each sit is shaped around your cat's routine and your instructions.
Drop-in visits
One focused visit per day, dedicated entirely to your cat.

Here's what some of them have to say.
"We've booked with Dana for four years now - she's fabulous and couldn't recommend her more."
"It took a few days, but with her patience and calm approach, my cat completely came around it was honestly amazing to watch. You can tell she genuinely cares, and she goes above and beyond. She is incredibly patient, clean, competent, reliable and trustworthy. I came home to a spotless place, which was such a relief."
"We couldn't be happier with Dana! From the very first meet and greet, we felt great vibes, she asked all the right questions and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Dana kept us updated with messages and photos, which made the experience easier to deal with being away from our little guy. She catered to his quirky personality and made him feel loved."
"Can't say enough great things about Dana. She was very organized, friendly and professional and was able to bond with my very grumpy senior cat! I loved her daily detailed updates, which allowed me to relax on my vacation."
"Dana is always a fabulous cat sitter. During our most recent trip one of our cats started showing signs of a potential medical emergency. Due to her diligence and care he was treated quickly and is on the mend. Dana handled the situation as if he were her own pet and we couldn't be more grateful!!"
"From the moment Ruby and I met her, we had a great feeling. She is the ultimate cat whisperer. She provided thorough check in updates with photos that made me feel completely at ease. It made me so happy to know my girl was being taken care of. I can't recommend Dana enough. She is professional, punctual, caring, compassionate, and has phenomenal communication skills. We were lucky to find her and will definitely book in with her again. 5+ stars!!"
Every cat has a special place in my heart! Here are a few of my favourites.
