About Me

Cat sitter in Huddersfield

I have looked after cats since I was a child and now live with seven of my own, Squidgie, Puddles, Pumpkin, Pixie, Squiggle, Squeak and Valentine who I'm sure get laughed at by their friends for their ridiculous names but they are well suited to their looks and personalities!

I am a nurse in my day job but spend more time with my cats than with people which is why my brother refers to me as a crazy cat lady. Cats can tell who cat lovers are and act accordingly which is more than can be said for some humans!

I will look after your cat as if it were one of my own including cuddles if required and accepted by the cat as one of mine will only be cuddled when I am laying down so I know that cuddles need to be given according to the cat's own rules!

    The second time Dana looking after the gang. She sent me daily pics and updates. I’d definitely recommend.

    Dana is great! She was reliable and excellent with communication. Our cat was very comfortable with her and was relaxed and happy upon returning home. The litter and food areas were kept clean. Highly recommend her.

    Dana was an absolute star with our two bundles of fur. She clearly took exceptional care of them and I got a lovely photo every day of the one who doesn't hide under the bed from strangers! I think at least one of them would rather she was still visiting rather than having us home! ;) Thank you, Dana, we will definitely book you again!

    Dana was brilliant with Penguin and Panda. She has bags of experience cat sitting and I came home to two very happy, relaxed cats! Can’t recommend enough. I’ll absolutely be using her again! :)

    Dana looked after my ball of fluff for almost three weeks and kept me informed with daily messages and photos. They were much appreciated. It was a long stint and I was grateful to return to a relatively happy girl (She wears a permanent frown LOL!) All clean and tidy too :) Thank you so much Dana from us both :)

    I worry about my Bobby as he's a nervous wreck and will hide from everyone! Dana has lots of her own cats all with different needs so I was happy she would be patient with him and wouldn't push him to interact/play if he wasn't feeling it. I received photo updates of him every day and was not worried at all while I was away. Highly recommend!

    Dana was brill from start to finish and really put me at ease of leaving Penny with her. Dana sent me daily updates with photos and everything was completed as discussed. Dana was also very accommodating when my plans needed to change at the last minute. Without a doubt a brilliant cat sitter. Thanks Dana from Kim and Penny!

    Dana felt very trustworthy when I initially met her - she came to my house prior to us going away to meet us and to discuss Lulu’s needs and habits. She looked after Lulu for a week, and sent me photos each day and updates on Lulu. I would definitely use Dana again.

    Persevered with nervous kitten/cat on first time being minded over an 11 day period, gradually gaining his confidence, reporting positive progress periodically. Gave continued peace of mind whilst travelling and pleased to return home to happy and relaxed cat.

    Dana has watched my two cats on two occasions now, and she is absolutely wonderful! She sends me pictures when they come out to say hello, and makes time to play and make a fuss of them ☺️

    She is a very caring and warm lady, and I'll absolutely continue to ask her to cat sit in the future! Thanks again Dana xx

    Dana is an absolutely fabulous cat sitter, she's friendly, professional, and looked after my two fur babies like they were her own 😊

    I'll be using her again in future whenever I have to take a trip away - I'd 100% recommend her to anyone else who needs a cat sitter! Thank you so much again 💕

    Dana has become our go-to sitter....and this time had double trouble, with our new kitten family member! We knew our girls were in safe hands and as usual, were kept up to date with their antics with daily messages so were reassured everything was ok.

    i was a bit worried about leaving my cat with a sitter as he has always gone to a cattery but he was happy and well fed when i got home and Dana sent me photos of him so i didn't need to worry at all.

    Even though booked at short notice was able to fit us in and meet up to find out about our pets. It was obvious Dana loved cats and I felt I was leaving our kitties in safe hands. Regular updates and pictures whilst we were away too were great. Thanks Dana

    This is the fourth time that I've used Dana to look after my cats and I have always found her to be pleasant and reliable. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and nothing seems to phase her. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a cat sitter.

    Can’t thank Dana enough for looking after my adorable lazy cat; Alice. She is a super fussy eater but Dana wasn’t phased at all. She has a lovely way with cats and it was reassuring to get a daily photo update whilst we were away.

    Thank you for being a great sitter. My cat can be nervous around new people, but he took to Dana instantly. I really appreciated the photos and messages I was sent while I was away, as I felt guilty for leaving my kitty behind. When I got home, I don't think he'd even noticed that I'd left as he was very chilled and happy! Thanks again.

    Dana has been a lovely cat sitter for my pride of moggies, Daisy, Sam, Frankie and Ben. We met a couple of days prior to my break and we went through the routines, the food and the cats individual temperaments.She texted me and sent photos of the cats daily. And when I got home, everything was neat and tidy, the cats dishes had been washed up and it was obvious that the litter had been changed regularly. Dana also disposed of a couple of dead mice. Thank you Dana

    Dana was really communicative and helpful from first contact. She came round to visit and see the cats and was really attentive to their personalities and needs. We asked to book a last minute weekend on top of the holiday we already had planned and she was very kind and accommodating, again really punctual in her replies. We came back to very happy, relaxed and well fed cats with nothing out of place and keys through the doors as requested. Would 100% recommend Dana.

    Lily clearly enjoyed the attention she was given. When we came back, she looked happy and content and had put on some weight (a good thing in our cat's case, as she has a thyroid complaint.) Thanks!

    Deborah is a true cat lover, she clearly loved spending time with our very affectionate moggy and kept him supplied with enough tummy rubs and fuss that it was if we had hardly been away - quite an achievement as he's always been super needy in the days following our return from other trips. Deborah kept us posted when it appeared he might be off his food and try as she might to play with him he just wanted fuss. It sounds like she enjoyed having a more sociable cat than her own to fuss :-) Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, your cat will be well loved in your absence.
