Learn More About Ashley

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

I’ve cat sat since 2020 on the Housesitter app and then on Meowtel. My experience is diverse to say the least. No two kitties are the same, but once you’re around enough kitties you know which ones are the crazy brave ones, or methodically shy. In each case, they are all just funny little guys living their best lives :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know people that care so deeply for their pets that they’d have someone come in and check in on them. Props to parents! All pets look to us for care and support. I’m just happy to be part of a crowd who can provide individual undivided attention and support to these little ones. That’s how I’d like for my fur babies to be treated. In summary, it’s a two way street to providing care for me. I love to care and these little ones deserve only the best.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I had one kitty in the past, I was 19 or so, desperate to have a kitty and my mom finally caved in (because I said the kitty was for my little sister). I adopted Chloe off of Craigslist days later. I was willing to do anything. Unbeknownst to me, Chloe did have severe health issues and was actually a senior kitty in need of medical care. She lived her last year with us, her best life, sleeping most of the time and running wild at night. She’s the reason I am passionate about caretaking. Our pets can push us to be better in ways we don’t expect.

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

I am a finance conscious person, so I stop right there and consider whether this is financially within my means. For this kind of person, I’d encourage you to chat with a few sitters and pick their brain on making the best of a sit. If finance isn’t an issue and you want the best sitter, know that everyone’s been through a screening process. Also, ask the sitter for a meet and greet, catch the vibe and it’s okay if the vibe isn’t there. There are plenty of sitters on the app.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

First, see if our availability matches. Second, meet and greet. This is crucial, because it’s the time to give the pet parent the full run down of what to expect and answer any and all questions. Once the day of the sit begins there is constant communication about when I am en route, eta to the fur baby and an update when I leave. This way the parent knows when the kitty will get the care they deserve.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

During the meet and greet it is essential to disclose any dangers that exist that may harm the kitty or the sitter. Once these things are disclosed it should be smooth sailing as far as safety and security.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Not usually, I will consider sits on occassions or if I get a lot of requests. I know it can be tricky to change sitters if you have a preferred one, but it’s also nice to have a back up!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Whatever the kitty loves!!! I mean cradling and kicking the heck out of the toy love. You know what I mean right?

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

Truthfully, I feel excited for these guys because they just need a little bit of time to come around. First things first, I tone down my enthusiasm around these kitties and sit at a safe distance from them. That’s all, for the first few sits. I’ll hand them treats, and maybe talk to them or try and make eye contact. Once the kitty sees I’m not a threat, I’ll slowly reach out to the kitty, offer a toy or more treats until it comes around. These aren’t all the tricks up my sleeve, but there you go:)

Ashley did a great job caring for my cat while I was away for the holidays. My cat is usually very shy but I was really grateful to see that she was playing with Ashley and comfortable around feeding and interacting.

Ashley was an emergency backup sitter and truly went above and beyond for our cats. She sent a lot of updates and made us feel so much better about not being able to be home. Our really shy cat took to her immediately, which astonished us! says a lot about her :)

Before I book a trip, the first thing I do is confirm that Ashley is available because I could not even think about going on vacation if she wasn't!

This was our second time booking with Ashley. Our babies love her and feel very comfortable with her. She does a great job at keeping them entertained and loved while we’re away. Ashley makes sure to keep us updated and sends plenty of pictures so that we don’t miss our babies too much. She also takes the time to get to know us and how we prefer our babies to be taken care of. Will absolutely be booking again in the future!

Ashley is beyond amazing! She is so loving to all my beasts. She’s prompt, through, caring & keeps you informed about how everything is going with my fur babies! She has watched after my beasts on multiple occasions but this is the 1st time I’ve booked overnights. I couldn’t be happier. She took such great care of my beasts and my apt. that I had absolutely no worries for the time that I was away. Look no further! Ashley is the best in the Bronx.

I can’t praise Ashley enough. When I am away I have no anxiety about my cats if Ashley is caring for them. She has a great way with cats and understands their quirks. She is an excellent and prompt communicator, sending pictures and videos, and notifying me by text if there is a change in her schedule. I give Ashley my highest recommendation.

Knowing that Ashley is a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter affords us so much peace of mind while we're away. She's an excellent communicator and sends lots of pictures/videos of our kitties. I highly recommend Ashley and can't wait for the opportunity to book her again.

Our cats love Ashley and so do we! We know our cats and home are in capable hands. This sit was the longest amount of time we’ve been away from home and we were not at all worries. Our cats are so comfortable with Ashley, they don’t care that we’re gone.

Ashley is a fantastic and responsible sitter whose affection for our cats is evident. Even our more skittish and standoffish cat has warmed up to Ashley. I trust her completely and have zero worries while I'm away.

Ashley is INCREDIBLE! This was our first time hiring a sitter. I scheduled a meet & greet—Alfie and I loved Ashley instantly! Her thorough updates, photos, and videos eased any worries I had about leaving. When we returned, Alfie was so calm! I’m so grateful that she was available. Highly recommend!

So Ashley is the best cat sitter I have ever had, full stop. I received photo evidence daily of them receiving breakfast and litter changes, all sorts. I'm also one of those extra cat people and I care for some nearby strays. Ashley had no issue with this task AND one of my inside cats goes bananas when he sees the strays outside, so needs to be locked away in order to get them fed. Yeah. My apartment was clean and didn't smell like *cat* when I got home which means Ashley definitely cleaned it up for me. Will absolutely book again. Trustworthy, communicative sitter. Thank you so much Ashley!!

Ashley is a fantastic sitter. Our cats love her. She sends lots of photos and videos and I never worry when my cats are in her care. I highly recommend Ashley. One of our cats, Apple, has vision issues—Ashley connected her eating issues (Apple INHALES food) to the fact that Apple can’t see predators as well and my feel like she needs to eat quickly so that others won’t eat her food. I’d never thought about it like that before. We just thought Apple is the most good motivated kitty in the world. Ashley’s instincts and knowledge of cats is impressive and even after just two reservations, she knows our cats and their personalities exceptionally well.

Another awesome sitting job by Ashley! If my girls, Lynx and Gabby, could write this review, I'm 100% sure they would have amazing things to say about Ashley! I love the constant pictures and updates on them both and very pleased because I know they are being well taken care of while I'm away. As a matter of fact, when I came home this time, I'm pretty sure they were disappointed that I walked in instead of her. Jajaja! Until next time...

I'm mad I can only give Ashley five stars because she deserves ten at least! From confirmation to completion, Ashley was attentive, kind, and consistent. When you meet her for the first time, you immediately sense that she's an animal lover and that she will rely on her intuition and patience with even the most high energy/challenging cats. During our meet and greet, she took detailed notes and asked questions I hadn't even thought to answer. She sent pictures throughout her time with our cats. One of our to cats is exceptionally skittish (she came to us as a semi-feral TNR rescue) and Ashley worked her magic to lure Fortuna out of her usual hiding spots and ingratiate herself to a cat that doesn't even like one of her humans 100% of the time. Our other cat, Apple, used Ashley as a cat bed and made a new human pal. We are new to cats and therefore new to having to find a dedicated and trustworthy cat sitter. I am so thankful we found Ashley here. Planning vacations will be a little less stressful knowing that we can rely on Ashley to watch and love on our kitties.

Ashley was so wonderful with all my furry beasts that I immediately booked her for next year when I take my next trip. She kept me informed the entire time and sent videos and photos of everything. And the beasts had such wonderful attention that the are now wondering when Ashley is coming back! Book Ashley! You won’t be sorry that you did!

Wow! Needed a sitter for my girls and so happy I found Ashley!! My cats, Lynx & Gabby seemed to really like her too, from what I could gather from all the great pictures and videos I received during my vacation. In the past, I've had to worry about sitters not showing up on time, or not showing up at all, and I did not have that same "worry" with Ashley who arrived at roughly the same time each day and was then able to spend some quality time with L & G. I will definitely be booking her again for future needs!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bronx cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
