I'm Ashley | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hello Everyone, My name is Ashley I’ve been a cat lover and have a strong passion for cats all my life. I personally have 5 cats of my own. My eldest is 17 years old, then a 3 year old, and 3, 1 year olds. My experience and background with cats range in a variety of areas. From fostering a total of 16 cats, to cats born naturally with physical disability. To my own personal experiences of helping give oral medication with pill shooters, as well as topical medication to eyes and ears. I’ve been taught how to check the body temperature of your kitty without a thermometer read, using their paws and ears. Another common issue I’ve learned is how to check for dehydration. At the beginning of a kitties life I have assisted during the birthing process of kittens multiple times. Although the most joyous experience I’ve had has been working with the beloved senior kitties. To provide comfort and care at the tail end of life and their natural aging issues. Some of those including kidney disease (administering sub q fluids ), and diabetic’s (administering insulin injections every 12 hours). For feeding and supplements, l have feed every type of food available on todays market. Dry, Wet, Freeze Dry Raw, and complete natural raw. ( For raw feeders, yes I am available for the 10-12 hour intervals of feeding 2x a day). As for supplements, adding and mixing into foods as instructed, pre & probiotics, fish oils ( Krill, Salmon, etc. ), immune supports, arthritis supports, etc. I’m familiar with any of these and have no issues adding and making sure your kitty gets there daily dose in their feeding rout...
Ashley's Reviews
Nicole
Ashley was very caring and took great care of my baby. She sent before and after photos of every visit. She rinsed out food cans so my place wouldn’t smell. She was very gentle with my shy boy. I highly recommend her!
Breanna
Ashley was so easy to work with and took great care of our cats. She had great communication beforehand and gave detailed updates for each visit. We will definitely hire Ashley again!
Catrien
.Ashley is thorough, communicative, and kind. My two cats needed care over the long weekend, but are still in the process of being introduced to each other - Ashley did a great job giving each cat individual attention. Very impressed and grateful for her care, and would be happy to hire again!

Ashley was amazing with Mr. Butters! I ended up booking my first overnight visit because he is new to Chicago, but not to me and was staying with my partner. Unfortunately, I had to go out of town for a work trip for a week and luckily she was available during that time. she provided amazing video and updates, including brushing him, before and after pics of food and litter and belly rubs, which I really, really appreciated and it put my mind at ease. he was raised in a hoarding situation and never really bonded with people so it was important that I found somebody who could read his cues and give him affection based on his personality.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
