Learn More About Darby

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting because I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and mannerisms. I also love to reassure a cat parent while they’re away, sending pictures and letting them know how much I appreciate the time with their cat. I lost my cat to cancer last year (2024) and cannot have another right now, so it brings me added joy to spend time with others’ cats.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. My family is on the east coast and I typically travel on non-holiday weeks to see them, so that I can save some money. I will rarely (once every 3 years) travel home for Christmas but otherwise I am local to Arvada. I know how hard it is to find pet care and would be glad to reassure someone that their baby is happy and healthy while they’re away celebrating!

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

Some of my friends have timid and protective cats, hence why I feel comfortable approaching any cat’s home. I typically get low to their level to minimize intimidation, and will talk in a cheery voice to show them that I am not a threat. I blink slowly at them as I’ve learned that indicates passivity. I will just sit for a while so they can get used to my smell and presence before moving around to clean, feed them, refill water, etc. If the owner says it’s ok, I’ll also give them a treat early on to signal that I am friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arvada cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
