Cat Sitting in Pawtucket, RI

They call me the Cat Whisperer! My kind, gentle, loving, patient nature, combined with my respect and understanding of boundaries creates a safe environment for a cat to emerge when they feel ready to do so. I’ve been told by certain clients that I wouldn’t even see their shy cat, only to then send them a photo of that cat in my lap! There is no greater reward then when a shy cat decides that... They call me the Cat Whisperer! My kind, gentle, loving, patient nature, combined with my respect and understanding of boundaries creates a safe environment for a cat to emerge when they feel ready to do so. I’ve been told by certain clients that I wouldn’t even see their shy cat, only to then send them a photo of that cat in my lap! There is no greater reward then when a shy cat decides that you are a safe presence, and emerges from their shell.

I have been a guardian of cats for my entire 32 years of existence, taking my work to a professional level within the last few years. What started as volunteering at a local cat shelter, turned into drop-in visits and home stays. I have never been happier doing something I absolutely adore, and something that is so healing for the soul.

Learn More About Ashley

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

Professionally, it’s been a few years! But I have owned and worked with cats my entire life. I decided to take the next step after volunteering at a local cat shelter. I had just gotten into dog walking at the time, and with my love of cats, knew this was the perfect next step. Doing what you love, and getting paid to do it, has been a life changing experience in the best way.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Doing what you love, and getting paid to do it, is the best thing in the world. Being able to spend time with cats is incredibly healing! Their purrs alone vibrate at a healing frequency. I also believe that service to others is why we are here, and allowing me to take care of your cats and your space is one of the ultimate acts of service. Also truly very healing.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I lost my tuxedo cat, Owen, back in December. I was completely devastated and absolutely heartbroken (I still am.) A month after losing him, I got a request to board two tuxedo kitties, one boy and one girl, about 6 months old each. What a healing experience! They were such a quirky pair, so snuggly and so curious, and so sweet. An hour into the booking they were snuggling with me on the couch. I truly believe they were sent to me by Owen, as a way to help me heal from the loss of my sweet boy. I can’t wait to board them again in the future ♥️

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

Make sure you go with your gut! Ask as many questions as you need to, to allow yourself feel at ease with your selection. Do a meet and greet and always feel out the vibes of a situation. The ultimate test is seeing how your beloved kitties feel about the sitter, too!

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

The key is to give them space. It’s important to coexist with them, doing your own thing, while maintaining a calm and gentle demeanor. Providing lots of toys, little treats, and warm and cozy places for them to retreat to until they feel safe enough to emerge. Cats should never be forced! If you’re ever seeking to learn about boundaries, cats are wonderful teachers.

My kitty’s experience with Ashley was so wonderful. I very much appreciated Ashley’s approach. I can tell from the gorgeous photos she sent that my cat felt cared for- Ashley is such a great playmate. I will definitely reach out to Ashley when I am next out of town.

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.

Pawtucket 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!
