I'm Ashley
Cat Sitting in Arlington, TX
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 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 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, and I have worked in child protection, abuse prevention, social-emotional education, and family engagement programs. In my free time, I love being outdoors; whether that means a long hike, swimming at the lake or river, or stretching in my hammock with a good book. When I lived in Austin, I volunteered at our city animal shelter and especially enjoyed working with the shyest kitties and harder adoption cases - the Desperate Housecats (lol).
My current home base is Arlington/Fort Worth, but I’m well-acquainted with most of the metroplex. In addition to Meowtel, I also work part-time at a local winery, so I have a fairly flexible schedule.
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 is absolutely stellar. She provided exceptional care to my old and high medical needs cat that made it possible for me to be able to continue traveling worry free until the end of his life. But what really stood out was how incredibly sweet she was to him. My healthy young cat is so shy around anyone other than me and my partner, but he LOVES Ashley. He let's her pick him up! Ashley is one in a million.

Ashley has been a wonderful catsitter for Professor Gus! Her regular updates ease our minds while we're away. Also, when I had a mid-reservation ask for her to refill our outdoor bird feeder (for cat entertainment purposes), she slotted that in without any issue. I'd recommend Ashley any day!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.
Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our 4 furry friends! my oldest kitty was having a hard time adjusting to our absence, but Ashley got creative and found a way to get her to eat finally. Our kitties typically travel with us but it is so nice to know Ashley will be great with them to help them get through it.

Ashley is AMAZING! She takes fantastic care of my boys. She does a great job giving my little old man his pills. I feel safe traveling knowing Ashley is caring for my boys. She sends the cutest updates and pictures. She even won over my very shy boy and he asked her for tummy rubs!

Ashley is a real pro and also gave my cat compliments which he thrives on. I appreciated her thorough updates with pictures while I couldn't be with him. I'll be using her when I'm out of town going forward!

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!

One of my cats is antisocial. Ashley got her out of her shell, and was able to actually interact with her during the visit. For I cat I sometimes don't see for days at a time this was an accomplishment and appreciated.

I had a great experience with Ashley! She was kind, responsive, and my cats immediately warmed up to her. She took extra care to ensure that my cats got the medication they needed on schedule, and spend lots of time playing! She also left our house neat and tidy, brought in the mail, and took out our garbage cans. I would definitely book Ashley again!

Ashley was an amazing cat sitter! She was very thorough and detail oriented in her updates. She followed through on all of our requests. We especially appreciated the daily pictures of our kitties so we could rest assured that they were safe and sound and well-cared for while we were away. I would love to book with Ashley for any future trips so that I can focus on my trip rather than worrying about my babies.

Our cat warmed up to Ashley right away. By the end of the meet and greet, they were buds. Ashley was very thorough in her care notes at our introductory session and did an excellent job throughout. She consistently checked in and sent great notes, photos and videos. It was a relief to know that someone who genuinely cares for cats was watching over ours!
