I'm Darynne | Cat Sitting in Phoenix, AZ

Hi! My name is Darynne and I am a foster care, and adoption specialist! So I love humans but I've been a cat lover since birth. Cats have always been a part of my core memories growing up, and I learned early on that they are very loyal, intuitive, and loving creatures. I've always had cats growing up, from kittens to elderly cats so I have seen it all. My oldest cat lived until 19 years old! From this rounded experience I have a solid understanding of cat care, behavior, diet, stimulation, and LOVE! I've been lucky enough to catsit for neighbors growing up, and primarily while in college starting my own word of mouth catsitting business. I have enjoyed gaining that additional experience with caring for someone else's furbaby! I currently have my...

Learn More About Darynne

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats! They are all so unique and precious and it's so fun getting to know them particularly with repeat appointments. Gaining their trust is a definite win as well! It makes me so happy to know that a cat feels comfortable with me.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Initially I like to get a sense of what care needs and expectations they have. Then I like to schedule a meet and greet so they can meet me and feel a bit more comfortable with me! Since having a stranger in your home can feel weird. Of course I love meeting the cats as well, and getting more information on their temperament, what they enjoy playing with, their diet needs, etc!

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

These babies are sweet and underrated. I would give them their time to lead any interactions! Typically I like to sit and do my own thing so they can get used to me being there, then if they are open to it, I will slowly try to gain trust through play from a distance. Overall though, I acknowledge it can take time to build their trust! I never want to force any interactions or make them any more distressed.

Everything about this reservation went well. Darynne was prompt in her responses, professional, pleasant, and courteous. Our Teddy can be a shy, "scaredy-cat" with strangers, but Darynne made him feel at ease in her presence. Overall, it was a cat-tastic experience. We will certainly consider requesting Darynne again.

I can't sing more praises about Darynne! She took care of my grouchy boy Smokey all four years of college. When I first met her, she was instantly reliable and trustworthy. I could tell that she really cared about my cat and what would make him comfortable and happy! She sent photo updates daily as well as videos. My cat is pretty picky with people that he allows near him or to pet him, and he warmed up to her within one visit. Within the four years that she watched my cat, she gave him oral and topical medication without any issue. I always trusted her and knew that my cat would be safe and happy with her. I can't recommend her more!

Darynne has been catsitting for me for 4 years! She's taken care of my two babies since they were just under a year old and she has provided them with such attentive care and love. She has even been able to provide me with advice on cat care when I have asked for it! I can attest that she will do everything she can do to make sure your cats are loved, comfortable, and healthy! I feel absolutely at peace leaving my cats in her care and am so thankful for that peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Phoenix cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
