Learn More About Ashley

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting a variety of cats, getting to be a second friend they trust and see frequently for the regular clients. I also get to see all the different products on the market for cats and being able to get the chance to try them by meeting and caring for all the kitties!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I have 5, Nala is 17, Jade is 3, Scarlet is 1, Sylvester is 1, and Calvin is 1!

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

Read through the sitters profile entirely. You can usually tell by the profile compared to others which has experience in the area for your needs for you and your kitty!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am! I do not have any human children or significant other at this time. I only travel 2-3 times a year for Thanksgiving, Father’s Day and my Birthday. Otherwise I’m usually full open year round for all other holidays!

What is your favorite cat toy?

1st Place - Cardboard boxes 2nd Place - Cat Nip Toys 3rd Place - Wand 4th Place - Lasers 5th Place - Mouse Toys

Take everything at the Cats pace, also pay close attention to Ears and Tail body Language it is key to working with a timid or anxious cat.

Our second time having Ashley care for our kitty, and I would recommend her hands down! She has always gone above and beyond for our kitty and even our home! She was a great help when a pipe in the kitchen froze in our absence, and she was able to get in touch, so that we could get it going again without any damage to the house.

I recently lost my husband and needed to travel out of town for a few days. Ashley was so warm and kind and put my mind at ease right away during our meet and greet. She proceeded to exceed my expectations. This was my first time employing any outside help with my kitties and she was AMAZING! She also grabbed my mail for me and cleaned up any kitty messes that happened in my absence!! She went Above and beyond for sure. I will be seeking out her services again in the future, for sure!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!!

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.

This was my second time having Ashley care for my two boys and I again cannot say enough good things. She is so thoughtful and through. I was traveling with another cat owner and they even commented on how awesome she is. She even gets my shy boy out and playing. I highly recommend having Ashley watch your babies, she will give you peace of mind while you’re away. Thanks again!!

Ashley is just incredible. Hands down the best cat sitter I have ever had the privilege of leaving my kitty with. She is caring, and kind, so attentive, and so diligent. I am so grateful for the professional and exceptional service she provides. I cannot recommend her services enough. I would never want to book another sitter.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ashley. I adopted my two cats about 6 months ago and this was my first time leaving them to go out of town. What a relief to find someone like Ashley to take care of them. Ashley has so much experience caring for cats and a true passion for their health and welfare. She really gave me peace of mind while I was traveling, with lots of pictures and updates, I knew my lil guys were being well looked after. While I was on my trip I booked her again for another trip I had planned. I highly recommend her and hope to continue to book her for any of my travels in the future.

Ashley is a cat whisperer. She went above and beyond to make sure my middle aged, timid cat was comfortable with her before successfully pilling him twice a day. She is prompt, detailed, extremely knowledgeable, and will treat your cats like they are her own. She also changed her personal schedule to accommodate my cat’s medication schedule (every 12 hours). I have never left my boys with someone before and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better situation having Ashley. My cats were seriously disappointed when I came home 😸

We have two shy high maintenance cats. Ashley was very intuitive and actually got one of our kitties to warm up to her (which has never happened with any of our friends or family). I usually am very reluctant to travel because of the behavioral issues my cats end up having and the stress it causes them. Seeing videos of happy kitties while on vacation definitely improved the stress associated with leaving them. I’ll definitely be using Ashley’s services again, and definitely recommend her to any kitty owners.

Ashley was great with my two Senior boys, showing up on time and sending plenty of cute pictures. One takes a lot of coaxing to feed and Ashley took her time pursuading him to eat. She made me worry less having to leave them overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
