What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have owned cats my entire life, and am often tapped by friends and family when they need someone to look after their cats. I am used to meeting cats who are unfamiliar with me, and earning their trust.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I really love getting to know each cat. Every cat has their unique personality, and I feel a sense of appreciation and pride when I am able to understand a cat and forge a little connection, even if it's an understated one. Not all cats love cuddles or pets, but that doesn't mean we can't understand each other.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I recently cared for a family member's cat. He's a grumbly old man named Merlin. I visited every morning and evening for a week, and though it took him a little while to warm up, by mid-week he was purring and drooling in my lap. He really wanted comfort and I was really happy that I earned his trust enough that he sought it from me.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I've had kitties all my life. I recently lost my cat of 10 years due to cancer, and it has been difficult! Rest in peace, Fae ❤️

I cannot recommend Ashley enough. I found this app because one of our two cats is getting older and has some health issues that we are still figuring out. We were going to be out of town for seven days and wanted to find someone reliable who could check in on both cats - but, particularly our older (and grumpier) cat. We were so lucky to find Ashley. She was professional and friendly, took notes when she met with us before our trip. Visited every day and kept us updated on what was going on. Even though our focus was on Woody, the elder stateman of the house, Ashley sought out our younger, shyer cat to make sure she was doing ok, too. It was a huge relief to know they were getting daily care and assistance... and our vacation was all the better for it. We will be hiring Ashley again soon.

I appreciated Ashley caring for my cats, and I'm grateful to have found someone comfortable with giving insulin injections. That was a relief. She was communicative, took notes, and sent great videos. My cats were confortable with her.

Ashley has been phenomenal with both of my boys- she is very skilled with insulin injections. Her kindness shone through- she has been great as I've had to make several long distance caregiving trips. Knowing that both of my cats were getting the best care possible gave me a peace of mind during a trying time. I highly reccomend Ashley- she really gets to know your cats while catsitting and I feel really fortunate knowing I can count on her

Ashley was a wonderful caregiver for our cats. One of our cats has diabetes and Ashley did a wonderful job aligning to Tux's care plan and keeping him safe. Her updates were thoughtful and I had no doubt that my cats were receiving the care they needed.

Ashley did a fantastic job with our ginger fur baby. We were abroad for 2 weeks and had received videos/messages with every visit that Ashley made to our house to take care of Tucker. You could tell that she really took good care of him and our house. Totally trusted her services and would definitely highly recommend!

Ashley was amazing with our two boys! One of them requires daily meds and Ashley made sure he got them. She took detailed notes when she came for the initial meeting and we felt very comfortable leaving our guys in her care. Great communication, as well!

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.
Ballwin cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
