I'm Darlene
Cat Sitting in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
I know how stressful it can be to leave your belove... Cats have been my family for as long as I can remember, they’re not just pets, they’re my children. With over 15 years of professional pet sitting experience, I bring both expertise and genuine love to every furry client I care for.
I know how stressful it can be to leave your beloved cat in someone else’s hands. That’s why I treat every furbaby exactly as I would my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your cat’s happiness and well-being.
I had a flexible schedule and come by as often as needed.

I was hesitant at the idea of leaving my cat’s care to a stranger, but after chatting and meeting with Darlene/ Dee, my fears subsided. I appreciate the regular communication, with daily check ins and pictures/ videos. Somehow my elderly, almost feral, kitty warmed right up Dee! Cat whisperer indeed! The process of finding a sitter was fairly simply. There were very limited sitters available at the last minute in my area, so I am so glad I got through and I would use these services again and will definitely look for Dee again.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Palm Beach Gardens cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
