I'm Darren | Cat Sitting in Denver, CO

I’m Darren and I’ve lived with cats for more than 40 years giving me a deep understanding of their behaviors. I know the worry and concern you have when leaving your four-legged friends with sitters. We have two adorable cats and think about them every time we leave the house! That’s why I’ll care for your cats as if they’re my own! When you hire me, you can expect the following: • Feeding your cats on your schedule • Playing with and paying attention to them • Keeping the litter box clean and sanitary • Sending you reassuring pictures of their wellbeing If your cat has medications, I have experience administering pills and liquid medicine to my cats. I live in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, and since I work from home, I have flexibility to visit your cats during the day. My love for cats started when I was young...

Learn More About Darren

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for more than 10 years and they've ranged from all different types of cats (friendly, aggressive, shy, young, and old). I also volunteered at a rescue where I cared for feral and anxious cats who were recently taken off the streets. Part of my role was to socialize them by positively reinforcing human touches with treats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I've always had a soft spot for animals, so when I visit someone who has a dog or cat, I find I spend more time with the pets than the people! Cat sitting gives me the chance to give back the uncomplicated love and comfort animals give me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two adorable orange cats named Copper and Miles. They have very different personalities but I love them the same!

Darren gave us such peace of mind on our travel that our kitty was in good hands! He is a quick responder and adapted feeding process while we were out. We’ll request his services again!

Darren was great. He provided detailed recaps of his visits with photos. My cat is old, so it helped keep me from worrying. Angel isn't really into people other than me, but he let Darren give him scratches, which is amazing!

I am new to Denver from Canada for only 4 months but had to travel home for a long weekend. I came upon Meowtel and was paired with Darren. From the start Darren was very accommodating at pick-up times for keys and meet n'greet. He sent us daily updates with photos and what my fur babies were up to, even my shy one cozied up to him. If you have the pleasure of using Darren's services I would strongly recommend him by far!

Darren is awesome with our fuzzy team of three. Our eldest lady is super wary and anxious of people and seeing her even allow him to give her chin scratches or even be out in public with him was fantastic to see! I highly recommend his services for your loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
