I'm Ashley | Cat Sitting in Arlington, TX

I am a DFW native who has had cats my entire life. I currently have four: a pair of 1-year-old sisters we adopted together as kittens (Maggie & Veruca), 6-year-old grey tuxedo Walter who showed up at our house one day, and a 22-year-old calico named Katy we recently adopted. I was lucky to care for my cat BFF Alex for 19 years throughout many special medical needs, so I am experienced with injections, oral meds, creams… and managing complicated medication schedules! I understand the anxiety around being away from home when you have special cats, as well as the importance of finding the right cat sitter. I have two degrees in social work,...

Learn More About Ashley

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet so many different cats with unique personalities. Just like with people, I let them (and their owners) show me who they are and what they like. Cats can be such complex creatures with distinct preferences. My favorite thing to learn is what version of broken and/or repurposed item is their favorite toy (mine love fabric reusable shopping bags)!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Like most, our cats have Legal Names, plus the actual names we call them: Wally or Beefcake (Walter); Margaret or Magpie (Maggie); Roo, Roofus, Rooster (Veruca). And Katy is our new addition so she hasn’t told us her nicknames yet!

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

At the first meeting, I like to get down to their level and let them approach me while I gently talk to them. They’re welcome to sniff & explore, and I wait for the cat to initiate contact. If they show signs of being interested but still hesitant, I’ll offer treats or a favorite toy. I understand Owner’s absence may have them a bit stressed already so I’m happy to just hang out nearby and give them time & space. Some cats take a couple visits before they get close, some come right over, and others maintain their distance. I respect cats’ boundaries & how they communicate with us.

Ashley was great with my four boys! Their food and medication routine is rather complex, with each receiving different meds/homeopathic treatments, and different types and amounts of food. Ashley took detailed notes before the first visit, and was great at staying in communication on how things were going. It was great to get pictures every day, too. She even managed to win over my two shy boys, who usually won't come out from under the bed when a stranger is around. I've already booked Ashley twice, and am grateful that she's been available for my babies when I've needed a sitter!

I love having Ashley come over to take care of the cats because I know they will be well looked after. This time with one of my cats needed medication and he’s not the easiest to give pills to and she did a great job, thank you so much for allowing us to go out of town stress-free!

Ashley did a wonderful job for these nervous; first time cat sitter users. She sent us great pictures and videos every day and when the internet connection at our location was poor; she sent updates and pictures to my phone via text message as I had requested.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
