I'm Ashley
Cat Sitting in Crofton, MD
I have hands-on experience caring for cats in the home and know how important it is to keep their environment calm, clean, and consistent while their people are away. Whether your cat is social and playful, shy and cautious, or more of a āplease admire me from across the roomā type, Iām happy to meet them where they are... Hi! Iām Ashley, and caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, routines, and comfort level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them on their terms.
I have hands-on experience caring for cats in the home and know how important it is to keep their environment calm, clean, and consistent while their people are away. Whether your cat is social and playful, shy and cautious, or more of a āplease admire me from across the roomā type, Iām happy to meet them where they are.
During visits, I like to make sure the essentials are handled first: fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, a quick wellness check, and making sure everything looks normal and safe. From there, I tailor the visit to your catās personality and needs. That might mean playtime, brushing, treats, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship.
Iām very attentive to behavior and body language, so I notice the little things, like changes in appetite, mood, energy, or litter box habits. I know how much peace of mind matters when youāre away, so I also believe in giving thorough updates and photos so you know your cat is safe, cared for, and loved.
My personality is calm, warm, responsible, and detail-oriented. I take pet care seriously, and Iād love to care for your cat the way Iād want someone to care for mine.
Learn More About Ashley
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats, Apollo and Artemis, and like most cat people know, they definitely each run things in their own way. Caring for them has given me a lot of hands-on experience with cat routines, litter box care, feeding, play, enrichment, and understanding feline body language and boundaries. I know how different every cat can be, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, Iām available for select holidays and know how important it is for pet parents to have dependable, loving care for their cats while theyāre away.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I handle timid or anxious cats with a very calm, patient, and respectful approach. I never force interaction and always let the cat set the pace. When I arrive, I try to keep my energy quiet and predictable so Iām not overwhelming them. I make sure their essentials are taken care of first, like food, water, and litter, and then I give them space to observe me and get comfortable in their own time. If a cat wants distance, I respect that. If theyāre curious, I let them come to me on their terms. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can tell when a cat wants engagement versus when they just need calm, low-pressure company. My goal is always to help them feel safe, not pushed. Sometimes earning trust looks like play or affection, and sometimes it just means peacefully existing in their space while they learn Iām

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!
