I am a longtime cat friend with over 20 years of cat care experience. My specialties are with senior cats, shy cats, and cats with medical needs. I am practiced and comfortable administering medicines and injections to cats who need them.
However, all cats will always get my full attentive care. As your cat's helper, I will do all I can to make sure that while you are gone, your cat is not only cared for, but feels safe and content. I strive to be a gentle, patient friend to your cat, and a communicative partner to you.

2. Updates sent to you with each visit, along with photos.
3. Respect for your home while I am visiting.
Learn More About Ashley
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 have two cats: a white longhair named Fae, and a goofy gray named Gremlin.

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 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!

Ashley has gone above and beyond both times she has watched my girl! She handled giving medication to my shy, 17 year old cat very well and is super gentle. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Ashley!

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 $25.00. 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!
