Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hello! I have been a volunteer with West Philadelphia cat rescue group Project MEOW since 2016, as a caregover, foster, and a trapper. I believe I have an innate ability to communicate with cats or understand their desires and needs, helping me trap hundreds of cats in West Philadelphia for spay/neuter, vetting, and adoption. As a foster and caregiver ... Hello! I have been a volunteer with West Philadelphia cat rescue group Project MEOW since 2016, as a caregover, foster, and a trapper. I believe I have an innate ability to communicate with cats or understand their desires and needs, helping me trap hundreds of cats in West Philadelphia for spay/neuter, vetting, and adoption. As a foster and caregiver have experience giving meds orally and topically, for example liquid antibiotics, eye ointment, ear drops, sub-q fluids, insulin injections, buprenorphine, and various pills. I am quite comfortable giving meds and dealing with difficult cats.
I am open to doing multiple visits a day if required, and in some cases staying overnight for the lonlier cats.

Learn More About Ashley

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

When my own former cat sitter moved away from Phila, I inherited a few of their clients. I've been caring for them off and on for over 10 years. Occasionally I have done sitting for Project MEOW volunteers' cats as well as fosters' cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Earning the trust of a cat--having them be happy to see me arrive. Providing them with some enrichment if they are lonely with their family away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have my personal cat Vasquez, as well as a revolving pair of fosters. Currently I have two fosters: Chorizo and Armita.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cats love the cardboard scratches. If they are not tearing them to shreds, they are napping on them.

he took great care of my little ones while I was away, which is always a stressor for me. I had a complicated setup with my 3 kitties each getting a different vet food and he handled each cats needs without a problem. And as a huge bonus, he was even able to take of the outdoor neighborhood kitties that i feed. trapping a getting those guys fixed and vet checkups. Truly FULL service cat care!

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.

Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
