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!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Denver cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
