Danielle Lefamine took care of my three cats and African grey parrot for 12 days. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive. She kept me updated daily with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. My pets were well looked after—they were happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned home. The house was just as I left it, and it was clear that Danielle went above and beyond to ensure my pets were comfortable. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to care for your pets, Danielle is the one to call!

Dee is the absolute best. She is super knowledgeable about cats and very experienced. I love that she really takes the time to get to know your cat individually; she spends most of her visit playing with our kitties, not just feeding them and giving them a pet. She is also super dependable. I know I can count on her to be there and to communicate any issues with me. And if there is a medical emergency, she knows exactly what to do. Of course, she sends you a picture of your beloved animals every time she sees them. I feel so fortunate to have Dee as our sitter.

Aurora W Cat Lovers

We love our two elderly cats dearly, so it gives us incredible peace of mind when we travel knowing Dee is taking such great care of them and giving them lots of love! She regularly goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, healthy, and getting lots of play time and pets. We always come home to a clean house and happy cats. We’re so grateful to have her (and our kitties are too). Thank you, Dee!

I can actually enjoy my time away when Danielle is watching our fur baby Luna! She is the real deal "cat whisperer" and so knowledgable about cat personalities, even the trickiest ones like our Luna cat. I've learned a lot from Danielle and have taken her recommendations on vets, cat food, toys and the pet scene in Austin in general. If you're really particular about your cat's physical and emotional health and want to come home to a content and happy cat, Danielle is a must hire. I've experienced 4 other cat sitters in Luna's life and no one has come close to being as good.

Hi, I’m Dee (Danielle Lefemine), the heart and sole caregiver behind Happy Austin Pets. For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for cats. My passion isn’t just a job; it’s a lifelong commitment to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable.

Unlike larger services, I am the only cat sitter you and your feline companion will ever interact with. This means your cat gets to build a consistent, trusting relationship with a familiar face. No new strangers, no stressful adjustments – just reliable, loving care from someone who truly understands their unique personality and needs.
