I'm Ashurina

Cat Sitting in Palm Springs, CA

I have been animal sitting for a decade. I am an animal lover and my friends and family's go to sitter. I cover all the basics plus have experience with administering medication in oral and injection forms and also administering eye drops. I have experience handling senior animals from my own and many clients. I take great pride in giving pets the attention and comfort they deserve, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos to keep you connected... I have been animal sitting for a decade.

I have experience handling senior animals from my own and many clients. I take great pride in giving pets the attention and comfort they deserve, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos to keep you connected.

I am flexible and accommodating and work with you to make sure my schedule fits around the needs of your fur baby. As I do accept last minute bookings, my calendar may not be accurate all the time. I strive to have great communication and respond to messages and inquires in a timely manner.

In addition to caring for your fur baby I offer basic home care services included in my pricing. I can bring in mail and packages, water plants and take in/out the trash.

I find that when animals are in their homes they feel most comfortable. I strive to make sure your fur baby keeps their routine.

Learn More About Ashurina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My housemate has a cat named Apollo. When I moved in, I went into full aunt mode and love spoiling him. He is a shy boy and takes a while to warm up to new people. The day I moved in it was just me and Apollo as my housemate and partner were at work. Within a few hours Apollo came into my room and slowly we were able to hangout on the bed and give him pets. Since then we enjoy hanging on the couch watching TV and he allows me to pick him up for a short time and then gives me a signal when he has had enough and I set him down. I have also been harness and leash training him so we can go outside on the unfenced patio and he can explore as he is a very curious cat.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I tend to make time to see family and friends throughout the year so holidays aren't a big deal for us. I attend an annual camping adventure during Labor Day but otherwise happy to spend the holidays with your fur babies.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I know patience is key especially with cats. It's all on their terms. I like to provide the space and time for them to feel comfortable. I make an effort to sit on the floor nearby but also with giving them enough space to feel safe and not block the exits so they can move into another room or go into a safe hiding spot. I've noticed the 'cat smile' where I do long eye blinks has been well received and of course treats. I also work with you to find out what makes your cat feel safe and best practices you and past sitters have used that your cat responds well to.

Ashurina was wonderful. Communication was great and she left my home spotless upon leaving. She was extremely patient with my skittish cat. I highly recommend her.

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 Springs cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
