Learn More About Ashton
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to interact with new and unique kitties, as well as getting to connect with and help people who have just as much of a passion for cats as I do.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
While hard to choose just one in particular as my favorite, one of my favorite sitting experiences would be for a sweet, elderly cat named Macy. Although she had bone cancer, Macy didn't let anything slow her down! She was friendly, outgoing, and loved to play! She would follow me around as I got her fresh water and cleaned her litter box, and loved when I sat next to her petting her head. A true sweetheart!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I make sure to follow the same usual routines that the customer uses for their cat and I triple check any special instructions to make sure nothing goes unchecked.

My cat was well taken care of and I was sent photo updates throughout her care. Very good communication and my cat seemed very happy.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ashton as a pet sitter for over 5 years. Initially, she cared for my dog with exceptional attention and reliability. Over the past year, I welcomed two cats into my home, and she has looked after them multiple times—often for a week or longer. She’s been absolutely wonderful with them. Ashton is calm, friendly, and incredibly communicative. I always feel at ease knowing she’s watching over my pets and my home. She not only ensures the animals are happy and well cared for, but she also keeps an eye on the house and property, which adds an extra layer of peace of mind. Her genuine love for animals and her dependable nature make her an ideal choice for any pet sitting role. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

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.
Portage cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 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!
