Learn More About Ashley

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

I just made 3 years cat-sitting this past July. It has been such an amazing change of pace in comparison to working in shelters and the environment is so positive and loving! At this point, I've cared for literally thousands of cats and have become accustomed to all sorts of personalities, and have been trusted to care for even the more territorial or feral ones, sometimes even as the only trusted sitter to do so, for some!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet so many unique felines is definitely an upside! And most are so relaxed and loving in their home environment. I get so many snuggles! Their parents are extremely nice and sweet people as well!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! Pepper (M, 5 yrs) and Paprika (F, 2 yrs) and now my partner's cat Bean (F, 3 yrs).

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

Discuss an emergency plan in the event of extreme weather with your cat-sitter and keep spare keys available in a secure location!

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

I always offer to meet the client and their furbaby in person within the home. That way the kitty won't be too alarmed when I enter their space alone for the first time, and helps me remember where everything is. I go over any concerns regarding the kitty's medical/health history, to reduce risk of needing an emergency vet visit. I also go over the Vet Release form, it's purpose, and other details involving said form. I usually ask clients to prepare an emergency contact, if able, in the event that a vet trip becomes necessary and they happen to be unavailable at the time! This emergency contact would make medical decisions involving your loved one in your stead

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

I always double check to make sure all windows and doors are locked, closed and secured. During the winter, I do check to see if anything flammable is near the radiators. I check gas stoves to make sure a kitty paw didn't accidentally slip and turn a knob (it has happened with two separate clients!). I also request the contact information of the super or an individual with a spare key, in the event I goof (not likely, but I am human!). I do also go over extra care instructions in the event of severe weather (heat waves, snow storms, hurricanes)! P.s. It is against policy to let pets outdoors during reservations, even if it's what the pet is used to. This is to avoid them disappearing during the reservation and to keep your peace of mind during your absence 🙏🏼

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, except Thanksgiving Day. It's the one day of the year I always take off. I visit my family in NYC

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wands/dancers; the kitties get so excited when I wave them back and forth and show off their jumping skills! Or having them chase treats!

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

I usually try to entice them with treats and respect their safe space once it's been established. I prefer to let them come out on their own once they feel comfortable enough, and they're usually more receptive to petting afterwards!

Ashley has been cat sitting my Bella (18 years old now) for roughly a year. With her advanced age, she now requires daily medications. Ashley was such a caring professional ensuring that she received her daily meds. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She’s truly cares and will provided many updates while you are away, she’s truly the best.

Where do I even begin, I have personally used my own mom as my cat sitter when going out of town exclusively and with this pst weekend being her birthday I didn’t want to ask her to do it for me. Let me just say that Ashley has blown anything my mom has previously done out of the water I typically am a ball of nerves until I can get back to them which almost always ruins any trip I’ve ever been on. This past weekend was the most carefree and enjoyable trip I have had since becoming a cat parent Ashley truly went above and beyond sending so many photos from the moment she walked in the house to how their food and water looked even a photo of the litter before and after scooping, my cat Oliver is typically very shy and hesitant of new people but he seemed to warm up to her even just in the initial meet and greet. I truly won’t choose anyone other than Ashley again she provided me that piece of mind of been searching for, if you are weary of using a stranger like I was trust me that it may be even better than your own family.

Ashley was amazing. She visited and cared for our kitties, sending lovely pictures and videos. Two of our cats need medication, Ashely made detailed notes on all meds when she came for the meet and great. Ashley responded quickly to my messages. She sent not just pictures of the cats, but also their litter boxes, and water bowls. She charmed our shy cat, so that all our cats received special attention. I highly recommend Ashley, she is especially good at medication giving.

Ashley is incredible! My cat, Renee, has only ever let me or my parents see her, let alone touch her, and Ashley was able to get her comfortable enough to come out of hiding for treats and pets! She also updated me with an extremely detailed description of her visit plus before and after images of food, litter, etc.. The videos and pictures she took of Renee are so sweet and made my family extremely comfortable with leaving Renee alone now and in the future. Highly recommend and I highly appreciate her visits and time with Renee!

Ashley was an amazing cat sitter! My cat loved her! She took fabulous photos and videos and provided extremely detailed visit summaries. Next time I need to go somewhere without my cat I will 100% want Ashley to watch him. During the initial meet and greet my cat was a little shy, however he cuddled with Ashley by the end of the first visit and was leaping into her arms for some snuggles on the second visit, which he continued to do for the rest of the visits. She truly loves cats, and my cat, Klaus, could tell. He would purr and give her kisses when she was holding him. She gave him kisses too! Additionally, she played with him for a large portion of each visit, which he really enjoyed, as evidenced by the videos and pictures she sent. As a first time cat parent, I learned ways I can make playtime more engaging just by watching the videos she sent. Initially I was really worried to leave Klaus alone with a cat sitter since I hadn’t gone on a trip since Klaus came to live with me six months ago, to the point where I considered cancelling my trip. Before Klaus came into my life I’d travel at least six times a year. He’s a very active cat that is super cuddly and needs lots of playtime and affection. However, from the moment I received Ashley’s update, watched the videos, and saw the pictures she sent that first visit, I felt at ease. After subsequent visits and the videos/pictures/reports she sent, I felt even more confident that he was in good hands. Ashley is truly an amazing cat sitter and Klaus enjoyed his time with her. I think he was a little bummed when I walked through the door instead of Ashley when I got home. Klaus is very vocal and likes to climb all over me. He’s generally more reserved around people he knows that aren’t me. With Ashley, he was his vocal, playful, person climbing self! She didn’t hesitate to catch him when he launched himself at her for cuddles, carried him around, and gave and received kisses from him. In addition to playtime, cuddle time, and tending to Klaus’s food, water, and litter, Ashley left the apartment immaculate. When I came home, Klaus was his usual happy, playful, cuddly self. I recommend Ashley to anyone that wants their cat to have a great experience and to receive detailed updates while they are away from their cat.

Ashley does it again! She's continued to provide wonderful care for my diabetic cat, even with the challenge of him having pancreatitis now.

I also loved her detailed, swift descriptions of each visit, giving me reassurance and relief while I was away.

Ashley has looked after our 2 cats several times now and is great with them. They can be pretty temperamental with any kind of change and she has patience with them and is good at reading when they’re up for a bit of playtime or simply need attention. She is great at sending photos and videos after each visit as well as an thorough write up. During one of the visits she found hairballs and kindly cleaned them up for us. She also went out of her way to unpack and put our food delivery in the fridge which arrived before we did. I have only great things to say and would highly recommend Ashley!

I'm so lucky to have found Ashley as my sitter, she went above and beyond and took incredible care of my older cat, who's hyperthyroid and requires a pill twice a day (Ashley even asked what times I gave him his medication and was kind enough to time her visits so he could continue to get his medication at his usual times). She generously cleaned out his fountain when it got clogged with cat food—it's pretty gross to clean and I told her I could do it myself, but she was so happy to help. She spent time with my cat and got to know him, and he loved her. She even took out my trash! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Ashley, so glad to have booked with her and will definitely go to her again.

Her knowledge of the furry feline left us knowing our babies were in good hands- towards the end of the visits, our babies were in absolute love with her. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone who wants someone to care for their cat while away.

Ashley was a wonderful sitter for a week when I was away. I especially appreciated that she sent extensive updates with lots of photos on how my two cats were doing whenever she would visit. Really helped ease my worries about leaving them alone!

Ashley was so communicative and loving to our kitties while we were away! They normally take a minute to like someone but they warmed up to her right away. Everyday she sent detailed information and photos/videos of everything done and our cats to make sure we felt good while away! Thanks so much!!!

I left my baby maoyi in Ashley’s care when I went abroad and she did a wonderful job! She was communicative and caring, and her updates always showed me how relaxed Maoyi was around her, even though Maoyi is quite the nervous cat.

I absolutely recommend Ashley as a cat sitter, you can trust her with your babies. All cat parents know that feeling of anxiety we get every time we have to leave our "kids" for a while. Ashley will take a great care of your "kids". She will also keep you informed about your cat(s) by sending you photos, videos, and even funny stories about their behavior. I personally liked how she described the mess they made in their litter box as a "Bathroom Party" 😂. You can absolutely enjoy your vacation or stay calm during the business trip knowing that Ashley will be there with your babies!

Ashley watched our two cats during a long weekend we were away. This was our first time using a cat sitter service and we had a great experience! Communication with Ashley was consistently great -- each day while we were gone we got pictures and detailed messages about how the cats were doing and what they were up to, and honestly these updates became a highlight of our day! Our cats are fairly low-maintenance but she handled everything great and the cats seemed to enjoy hanging out with her! Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Virginia Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
