I'm Ash
Cat Sitting in Aurora, CO
I know that when you leave your cat with a sitter, you need care too. I believe in close, consistent communication- photos, updates, the little moments that let you exhale and actually enjoy being away. Your peace of mind isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of the job... Caring for cats isn’t something I fell into- it’s something I’ve grown into over a lifetime of loving them deeply. I’ve worked in animal shelters, opened my home to a hospice adoption, and currently share my life with two chronically ill cats whose daily care has made me a sharper, more intuitive caregiver than I ever could have become otherwise.
I know that when you leave your cat with a sitter, you need care too. I believe in close, consistent communication- photos, updates, the little moments that let you exhale and actually enjoy being away. Your peace of mind isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of the job.
Every visit is guided by you and your cat. I want to learn the most I can from yout about your cat. I never rush them or push for affection they’re not offering- I let them set the pace, and I stay as long as they need. Some cats want to play. Some want company from across the room. I’m fluent in both. Ultimately, I strive to read your cat. I try to notice the subtle shifts- small signs of contentment, the appetite change, the hiding, the small thing that’s just a little off. I know how to follow medication routines without stress, how to earn trust from a shy cat, and how to make even the most anxious kitty feel like the whole world slowed down just for them.
Your cat deserves someone who shows up with their whole heart. That’s exactly what I do.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The moment a shy cat decides you’re safe. There’s nothing quite like earning the trust of an animal who had no reason to give it to you. That slow blink from across the room. The tentative head bump. The cat who spent the first visit hiding under the bed and by the third visit is weaving through your legs. That progression- that trust- is everything to me. I also love being a soft landing for pet parents. I know what it feels like to leave an animal you love in someone else’s hands, especially if that animal has medical needs or anxiety or quirks that make them harder to care for. Cat sitting lets me do what I’ve always done: show up fully for animals who can’t advocate for themselves, and for the people who love them most.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Every great visit starts long before I walk through the door. I begin by introducing myself and getting to know you, because understanding the person who loves your cat is just as important as understanding your cat. I’ll ask about their personality, routines, quirks, and anything that makes them uniquely them. The hiding spots, the favorite toy, the thing that always makes them feel safe. From there, I take everything you’ve shared and build each visit around it. Nothing is one-size-fits-all: your cat’s comfort is the blueprint, and your confidence in me is the goal.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I never push, rush, or try to win over an anxious cat; that would be me prioritizing my needs over theirs. Instead, I make myself small, slow, and predictable. I move slowly, speak softly, and let them set every boundary. Sometimes that means sitting quietly on the floor doing nothing. And I’m completely comfortable with that. Living with chronically ill and special needs cats has taught me that patience isn’t just a virtue in this work- it’s the whole strategy. Some cats need three visits before they’re curious. Some need to sniff my bag for ten minutes before they’re ready. I follow their lead every single time. I also keep pet parents closely updated on how their cat is doing, because knowing your anxious baby is okay matters just as much as the progress itself. Trust can’t be forced. But it can absolutely be earned.

Ash was absolutely amazing! We seriously cannot rave enough about her. Both of our cats (one of whom is extremely shy) were comfortable with her from the get-go. She was respectful of their boundaries and let them warm up to her. She was able to give our oldest cat her medication, something that is no small feat, keeping her allergies at bay. Ash sent video updates and truly went above and beyond, cleaning up a couple of lovely messes the girls made, bringing packages inside and even taking care of my 8000 plants. She is trustworthy, communicative and kind — 20/10!

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.
Aurora cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
