I'm Ashlyn
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
As a sitter during COVID-19, I want to assure you that I am vaccinated and boosted, and I test weekly. If I am a good fit, I will be mindful about masking up when in your home during the meet and greet, and I will disinfect contact areas upon leaving your home during a visit... Hi Cat Families! My name is Ashlyn and I'm the proud cat mom to a sweet, 4-year-old orange tabby named Lucy. We found one another at Treehouse Adoption center in Chicago, IL, where I also did some foster care. I moved to Brooklyn to continue stretching my career in the fine arts: I am an actor and writer. While I was living in Chicago, I was a caregiver for three families, where I nannied and tutored their children- ages 6 months all the way to 4th grade and a few cats. I love helping families out- whether it's a baby or a fur-baby.
As a sitter during COVID-19, I want to assure you that I am vaccinated and boosted, and I test weekly. If I am a good fit, I will be mindful about masking up when in your home during the meet and greet, and I will disinfect contact areas upon leaving your home during a visit.
When I'm not writing or auditioning; I love reading a book, curling up with goose (Lucy's nickname), and making a pot of coffee. Lucy is a very playful and social cat, and I am proud to take some credit for that: I love actively engaging and playing with her in a way that stimulates her and reminds her of the hunt and some of her natural instincts. I have always loved cats, but finally having a friend of my own the past few years has changed the way I view life day to day- for the better. I love and appreciate everything a sweet kitty has to offer and will always treat new friends like they're my own. I'm detail-oriented, communicative, and would love to help give your family peace of mind while you enjoy time away from home.
If I'm not home snuggling with Lucy; I'm in class at the Terry Knickerbocker Studio in Sunset Park or searching for a new restaurant to add to my list of favorites. I love spending long afternoons in Prospect Park; and I love going to live theatre and comedy shows. I'm also very passionate about teaching theatre and improv to kids- it's inspiring to work with such creative and open-minded artists.

Ashlyn was so lovely. Our kitties are more on the anxious side and they warmed up to her by the 2nd visit. She’s very communicative, kind and attentive to little nuances with medication / supplements.

An absolutely seamless experience with Ashlyn. She figured out all the logistics in my absence, and made the effort to provide enrichment for my enrichment-averse cat. He is very wary of other non-me people, and while he wasn’t exactly friendly to her, she did get him to play and even roll over and half show her his belly 😂. I got daily updates (pics and video.) And she was even kind enough to clean up some barfs and offered to scrub a stain (I just told her the rug is machine washable and didn’t need her to worry.) Oh also this was kind of a last minute July 4 booking and she was available and amenable!

Ashlyn has been hanging out with my two cats on the regular for the last two years. She’s the best, super nice and responsible and I always know they’re in good hands getting all of the attention they need (which is a lot because they are super social cats). I’m usually a mess right before I go away but Ashlyn takes it in stride which I really appreciate.

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.
Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

We are so glad we had Ashlyn taking care of our little Tabitha while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and reassuring, sending us videos of our cat along with photos of her food and toys all set up. Tabi loved Ashlyn too, and we will definitely be booking with her again next time we leave town.

Ashlyn was amazing with our cat Sasha over the 4th of July weekend. She fed, brushed, and cuddled our kitty each day we were gone and sent lots of photos and videos which made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She was extremely communicative and responsible and we could tell she genuinely loves caring for furry friends. 100% hoping to book her again next time we need a sitter!
