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 has been such an amazing cat-sitter for my 2 babies. I travel for work so am often away and have one kitty that needs daily medication. Darren goes above and beyond with his visits. Always sends me multiple photos during his visits and caters to both of my kitties with widely different personalities. Darren is very communicative and puts me at ease when I'm away. He's been such a blessing for my kitties and I.

I couldn't be more pleased with Darren's service. From the very beginning, he was professional and attentive. During our initial meeting, he took detailed notes about my cat's needs, routines, and preferences, which immediately gave me confidence in his care. It's clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after and pays close attention to their well-being. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

Darren is a great sitter! Lots of attention to detail, and reliable communication. I came home to a happy kitty who honestly, seemed ready/wanting to see Darren come through, and it was only 3 days. 😸 Taking that as a good sign! Definitely adding Darren to my list of sitters that make this service the best around!

Darren is phenomenal! Great communication, punctual meetup for introductions, thorough note taker. He sent great photos/videos and summaries of how Sundae was doing while I was away (easing my mind on her well-being). Cannot recommend him enough. Sundae seemed to be in great spirits when I got home, which speaks wonders of her cat sitter.

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.

Darren is a fantastic sitter. He knew what questions to ask in order to be prepared for our week away. Our kitties rarely throw up, but had two separate instances while we were away; Darren cleaned it all up for us. He was even kind enough to bring in mail and move our recycling bin off the street for us after collection day. We received daily photos of both cats, which was wonderful. Even when our nervous girl hid under the same blanket daily, it was reassuring to see that familiar lump was doing well. We were happy to hear he had no issues giving our boy his daily medicine as well. It's so nice to know that if we travel again, we have someone we would trust to check in on our cats.

Darren was an amazing help while we were away. He was very professional, took great notes, and made sure my shy lady got what she needed along with some chin scratches! (super rare!!) He was great as well making sure my elder gentleman got his meds on time too. Darren is awesome at communication and it was nice coming home to find the cats were happy and that the house wasn’t a wreck from litter, vomit, or smells.

Darren was awesome! This was my first time using Meowtel and I'll definitely be using it again. Darren is kind, friendly, and clearly at ease with cats, and mine took to him, obviously putting my mind at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. I'd recommend Darren without hesitation and look forward to reserving his services again soon.

Darren was the purr-fect sitter for our two fur babies. He was attentive, responsive and went above expectations for making our cats feel at ease and comfortable while we were traveling. Darren sent over photos, asked questions and assured us that Lucy and Tank were in good hands! We appreciated his attention to detail and will use his moving forward for travel needs - 100% would recommend!

Darren took care of our 4 cats while we were traveling for Christmas. They seem to have loved him and were all in great moods when we returned! Usually they seem upset and stressed when we get back from this long of a trip so he must’ve done something right :) He sent me tons of pictures and daily updates and even came at their normal feeding time each day, despite some poor weather. He followed instructions perfectly and went above and beyond with their care. For example when they broke one of their water bowls he replaced it the same day! I highly recommend picking Darren as a cat sitter- we will certainly be choosing him in the future!!!
