Cat Sitting in Redlands, CA
At Daisy's Hope, I immersed myself in the world of cat fostering and adoption, honing my skills in providing compassionate care to cats of all breeds and temperaments... Hey there! My name is Ashley Wright! I'm so glad you stumbled upon my page here. As an experienced cat owner who has cherished the companionship of three feline friends over the years, I bring a profound understanding of the nuances of cat care to my role as a cat sitter. Currently doting on my beloved black kitten that I rescued off the streets at 4 weeks old, Jiji. I am attuned to the individual needs and quirks of these fuzzy loving companions. My passion for feline welfare extends beyond my own home, evidenced by my dedicated volunteer work with Daisy's Hope Foundation for two enriching years.
At Daisy's Hope, I immersed myself in the world of cat fostering and adoption, honing my skills in providing compassionate care to cats of all breeds and temperaments. Through this experience, I developed a keen eye for identifying and responding to the unique needs and preferences of each cat under my care. I also adopted my sweet baby, Maple, through the organization before I left.
My career as an artist not only fuels my creativity but also instills in me a deep sense of patience, attention to detail, and sensitivity—qualities that seamlessly translate into my approach to cat sitting. Whether it's crafting engaging enrichment activities, administering medications with gentleness, or simply providing comforting companionship, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every cat entrusted to me.
With a blend of personal experience, professional expertise, and genuine affection for our feline friends, I am poised to offer unparalleled care and companionship as a cat sitter, ensuring that each cat's time away from their humans is filled with love, comfort, and joy.
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.

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.
Redlands cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!

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!

The Meowtel experience was wonderful! Ashley was so sweet and loving toward my cats. Her energy was perfect and I felt relaxed on my trip knowing my kitties were in good hands. She communicated with me during her stay and sent lots of pictures. My cats snuggled with her and even my shy cat that likes to hide came out to visit. The app is easy to use. I highly recommend this company to those needing to leave town and want a fellow cat lover to take care of their babies. I especially like that there is an overnight option, and I recommend Ashley without hesitation. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from Ashley
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jennifer! I enjoyed every minute of staying overnight with your kitties and I look forward to seeing them again in the future! I'll be thinking about them and how cuddly they are!😻

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!!!
