Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

Please contact me first before scheduling! Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m a proud cat mom to my own kitty, Maisy, and I know how important it is to have someone you completely trust caring for your cat while you’re away.

Please contact me first before scheduling! Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m a proud cat mom to my own kitty, Maisy, and I know how important it is to have someone you completely trust caring for your cat while you’re away.

Every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust, whether they’re playful, curious, shy, or happiest napping in their favorite spot. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and companionship that matches their comfort level. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved.

I care for every cat the way I care for Maisy—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. My goal is simple: to make your cat feel comfortable and cared for until you’re back home.

Learn More About Ashley

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one cat named Maisy who’s 13 years old. I’ve had cats my entire life and they’re family.

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

All cats have different personalities and needs. I always make sure to open the door slowly with my hand down to make sure there are no escape artists. I follow all instructions every cat parent leaves to ensure the cat and owner feel safe.

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

My cat is an anxious baby, so i understand the needs of timid cats. They miss what makes them feel safe. I don’t force my presence on them. I will fulfill their needs, but also sit in their space quietly so they know they’re not alone. I will let them approach me if they want to.

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.

Washington 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 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!
