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 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, 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 did a perfect job taking care of our cat while we were away! It was immediately clear at the meet & greet that she’s exceptionally knowledgeable about cats and how to interact with them properly to keep them comfortable. Will absolutely be contacting her again for future care!

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!

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!
