With over 14 years of hands-on experience in cat rescue and rehabilitation, I bring a deep understanding of feline behavior, health, and emotional needs to every sitting job. I’ve cared for cats from all backgrounds—including shy, traumatized, senior, and special-needs cats—and know how important patience and consistency are in helping them feel safe. As a lifelong cat owner, I understand the trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care. My nurturing personality allows me to create a low-stress environment while maintaining routines, providing attentive care, and giving each cat the respect and affection they need to thrive.

Learn More About Ashley

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

My experience has mainly been in participating in fostering and socializing cats that have been injured, abused, abandoned, or who need a safe, happy place to be until permanent homes could be found. When working with feral kitties, patience was a must! I have over 15 years of experience in doing this.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I like knowing that I am giving the best possible to care to someone's family member. My goal is to care for their baby the way I would want someone to care for mine.

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

I would encourage all cat parents to look for a “cat person,” not just a pet sitter. Ask about their experience specifically with shy or tempermental cats. A good cat sitter understands that with cats body language, boundaries, and routine matter. A good cat sitter will also understand that every cat should be treated like the member of the family it is, with respect and love.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I offer flexible availability on all major holidays so you can enjoy your holiday with peace of mind and confidence.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love toys that allow me to interact with the cat. The "fishing pole" toys are my favorite because that is where you really see their personality and instincts come to life!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I allow them to set the pace while offering gentle encouragement in the form of treats, pets/scratches, and play time. Respecting their space but still letting them know I am there is also very helpful.

Ashley is great! She took the time to meet my cats and make sure they were comfortable. She also communicated with me and sent pics. I had a family emergency and rehired her for a few more days and she did awesome. 10/10 will keep on using 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.

Albuquerque cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
