Pet care experience

Experienced cat sitter and cat mom!

Hi! I look forward to meeting your fur baby. I know how hard it is to find the right sitter for your cat (or cats), and I’m here to make that process easier. I’m the first person my neighbors, friends and family reach out to when their fur babies need some looking after. I’m new-ish to this app, and excited to help more pet parents! I’m a proud cat mom of a 9-year-old Russian Blue sweet sass-monster I adopted in Manhattan, where I previously lived for a decade before moving to Atlanta three years ago. I regularly take care of my parents’ two young cats (bonded sisters), who we adopted from FurKids Midtown. One of them is a gorgeous long-haired cat – I have taken her to her grooming services and vet appointments, as well as bathed her when necessary. I’m great at taking care of cats with a wide range of personalities, stomach sensitivities, and needs. I have a special affinity for the ones who are misunderstood and less socially interactive. For many years, I volunteered as a “pet ambassador” for Best Friends Animal Society, where I matched pet parents with adoptable pets at the shelter, and it was a privilege to see lives changed forever for the better in that moment. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to helping out!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m able to do drop-in visits (no overnighters) and will follow your instructions down to the detail, so your cat feels nurtured while you’re away. At this time I’m unable to care for your pets in my own home, since my cat doesn’t get along with other pets.

Darley was amazing with my cat crew. She was superb with communication, followed all the instructions, handled the medication expertly and gave them as much love as they wanted. When the key fob stopped working, she chatted with the concierge to get it fixed. You will be lucky to have her check in on your animals.

Amazing. Handled our two cats very well. Made sure to engage with our shy cat who can occasionally hide from sitters. Very professional and responsive.

Darley was amazing! She took great care of our girls and left detailed notes after each visit. It is clear she loves cats as much as we do, and I would definitely trust our little ones with Darley again!

Darley is the best cat sitter I have worked with to date. My little fur baby enjoys her company. Darley is punctual, always sends a lot of pictures on the rover card, and replies back quickly. Until next time!

Schedule

I work full-time as a creative lead at an ad agency. I work remotely from home and have reasonably flexible hours. My weekends are usually open too. I do take on a limited number of clients at a time.
