Learn More About Ashley

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been pet-sitting on and off for the past 10 years. It started out with teachers, professors, and colleagues asking me to take care of their cats and dogs while they were away. I loved being able to spend quality time with other people's pets and I loved the flexibility that pet sitting gives me. It has been nothing but a positive, rewarding, and community-building experience for me. Pet sitting was also the reason I got heavily involved in fostering and volunteering.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Being able to cat sit gives me peace of mind knowing I'm keeping your most precious furry family member safe and giving love and companionship while you're away. I am a neurodivergent individual and full-time artist, so working with animals in a comfortable and stress-free environment is key to helping me stay well and continue my artistic practice.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat-sitting reservation was through a former teacher of mine. I got to look after their dog, and 3 cats while they went away on trips. I had an absolute blast getting to know their 3 cats most of all. Each one had such a unique personality that I fell in love with. One of their cats, Autumn, was on the shyer side. It took a few visits for her to warm up to me, but once she did, she always came to greet me and sit with me when I stayed.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one kitty! Her name is Maple, and she is a domestic long hair calico. She was adopted at 1 year from the Daisy Hope Foundation after my emotional support cat passed. The two other cats I had unfortunately have passed the rainbow bridge. Zeus was an orange domestic longhair cat who I had from kittenhood and lived for 17 years. My second cat was Elliot, who was an emotional support animal that my sorority sister passed on to me. He passed away at 6 years old from Kidney Disease.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone with good communication skills, trust, and reliability. You also want someone who understands cats and all the different flavors they come in. Make sure to hire someone who has either owned cats for a long time or has worked with cats for a long time. If someone is just as excited to get to know your furry baby as much as you love them, you're bound to find a great reliable cat sitter.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to have clear upfront directions and communication. It's important to me to know the usual routines of your kitty and to know their tendencies, important medical information, emergency information, and your expectations for me. This allows me to do my best job and make sure I don't forget any important information that is necessary to the well-being of your kitty.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

It is important to make sure all doors and windows to the home remain secure and shut while you're visiting and when you leave. It is also important to make sure the client's home stays the same as it was before and to clean up any toys or loose items you were using to entertain the kitties. Also making sure to follow the client's directions for what is accessible in the home for the cat and what is not. Clear communication is super important.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available on holidays for drop-in visits but if you are looking for an overnight stay for a holiday, please contact me a month in advance.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My absolute favorite cat toy is a combination of toys. I love setting up the tunnels I have and placing toys inside them. I usually guide Maple through the tunnels using a stick toy and let her rip through hunting and running. Anything that gets a cat's hunting skills turned on is a fun toy for me.

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

Let me tell you a story about my baby, Maple! Maple was a foster cat that I adopted through the volunteer organization I worked with, Daisy's Hope Foundation. When I first brought Maple home she was incredibly timid and anxious. She hid in the closet of my spare room and didn't come out. Every day I went in, sat in the room, offered her food and water, and spoke gently to her. I repeated this process until each day I noticed she moved further and further out from the closet. After about a month of patience and love, she started to greet me when I came into her room. It's now 5 years later and she's absolutely glued to my hip. I love my little anxious baby, and wouldn't trade her for the world. Because with that patience I gave, she gave me incredible companionship and unconditional love in return.

Ashley was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute reservation, and it’s clear that she loves kitties.

even though I had to book last-minute and my house was a construction zone (new flooring), she was super flexible and so sweet! She communicated well and was very professional. I highly recommend her!

Ashley went above and beyond per usual. my girls were happy and relaxed when I got home from my trip so I know they had a great time playing and cuddling with our favorite sitter. Ashley sent tons of pictures and videos and was sure to keep me updated on how their automated systems were working. I know they are in great hands every time I travel which makes the experience wonderful all the way around.

I was so nervous about leaving our boys with a sitter but after our meet n greet with Ashley I knew everything was going to be purrrfect… and it was!! Ashley gave the BEST updates. She went above and beyond to get our shy boy to eat. She took the time to understand our kitties personalities and cater to their needs. I would 100% have Ashley back to watch our boys again without hesitation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn't be happier with Ashley's care for our cats! From the start, she was incredibly communicative, ensuring she understood our cats' needs, quirks, and preferences. Each day, we received updates, photos, and even little stories that showed how comfortable our cats were with her. They clearly enjoyed her company, and knowing they were in such caring hands while we were away was comforting. Ashley went above and beyond, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! Thank you, Ashley!

Ashley was meant to be our fur babies caretaker!! Our meet & greet was planned, and instructions and introductions were given. I felt comfortable with her; she took notes and asked questions, making me feel confident I had made the right choice. Her promptness on visit times and her responses were exceptional. I will be calling on her again for future trips. Book her with confidence; she will not disappoint!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Redlands cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
