I've owned 3 cats in my life!

Cat care experience

Several of my regular clients have cats off their own that I love to take care of, from kitten to well matured. One and multiple little ones as well, I show them just as much care of them as any other.

Very attentive and detail driven! I'll be trusting Darnell with any future sitter needs 💙 My kitties loved him, and he went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! I would highly recommend booking with him!

Darnell was consistent, communicative and even our shyest kitten warmed up to him. We would definitely book him again to watch our kitties!

We were so glad to have Darnell watch our senior kitties over the holidays again. He goes above and beyond, and we came home to happy, healthy kitties who'd been well cared for. Thanks, Darnell, for being our go-to catsitter!

Many thanks to Darnell for taking good care of our two cats again. Love how even our shy guy hangs out when Darnell's around :) I always know our house and cats are in good hands when Darnell visits!

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of and pay special attention to my clients home. As not to disturb their lifestyle, which I view with zero judgment! I'm only there for however many little ones need my attention. If you would like me to make sure your home is secure however feel free to let me know.

Information Darnell M. would like to know about your pet

When we get in contact with one another I'll be sure to ask about any and all medical issues or unique quirks our little guys and gals may have. And if there's anything you want to add or address please let me know! I'll double and triple check with you as necessary if needed to keep your little ones happy and healthy.

A typical day

Upon arriving to your wonderful homes or locales I'll be conducting Doggy/Kitty Duty. Which would be checking them out to see if they're physically/mentally okay, then showering them with love and attention! Afterwards we'll be preparing for our day, with proper safety harnesses, collars and whatever other accessories needed. Locking up your home if necessary and moving out on a route and area that's been verified and agreed upon by you lovely owners and I. Of course the details like time, distance and pace of a walking depend on the age, breed and health of our companions, so these will vary from session to session along and/or conduct whatever activities you the owner leaves as instructed. With that fun squared away we'd be safely heading home. With a drop-in the day wouldn't start any differently, and on top of the other priorities stated I'd check on their food and water, to refill if applicable. Prescribing medicine as needed as well as checking whatever other points of interest given by you, the homeowners. With playtime and TLC, I'll be there for whatever time agreed upon by us and will leave your home as clean as I found it! All the while snapping photos, sending you updates and videos to make sure that there are no issues or surprises we can avoid.
