Cat Sitting in Arlington, TX

I am a DFW native who has had cats my entire life. I currently have six: a pair of 3-year-old sisters we adopted together as kittens (Maggie & Veruca), 8-year-old Walter and 3-year-old Henry who each found their way to our home in 2018 and 2025, and 1-year-old Lydia and her momma Savvy who I found in a storage shed at work.

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...

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/Midge/Magpie/Meep (Maggie); Roo/Rooster/Goose (Veruca); Hank/Hankers/Hankenstein (Henry); Critter (Lydia); and Savi-gail or Stabitha (Savvy).

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.

This was my first time using a pet-sitting service, and I was definitely a little nervous about leaving my kitties in someone else’s care. I couldn’t be happier with the experience Ashley provided! My two boys immediately took to her during our meet-and-greet, which put me at ease right away. Ashley is an excellent communicator, and I looked forward to reading her detailed visit summaries each day and seeing all of the photos and videos she shared. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats received plenty of attention and affection during her visits. She brushed them, played with them, and, of course, spoiled them with treats! I honestly think they miss her now that we’re home! I also have an asthmatic cat who experiences frequent upper respiratory infections, so it was especially reassuring to know that Ashley has experience with feline medication administration. Ashley was extraordinary at being in tune with my cats and noticing subtle changes in their behavior and health. When my asthmatic cat first began sneezing, she recognized it right away and administered his medication as instructed. Her attentiveness and quick response helped prevent his condition from worsening, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the care she provided. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Ashley’s service is absolutely 5 out of 5 stars, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, attentive, and trustworthy cat sitter. I will most definitely be using her services again!

I just have to say again how grateful I am to have Ashley ss a surrogate caregiver for my gang of four boys. I travel for work, and when my flight home from overseas was delayed by several hours, Ashley was able to step in and make sure that my senior boy got his thyroid meds on time (and that my other finicky boy got his litter level topped off "just so," to keep him from "thinking outside the box.") I don't think I can fully express the peace of mind that comes from knowing there is someone reliable who is well-acquainted with each of my boys' personalities and respective feeding/medical needs, who is able to step in when I can't be there. But if you're a cat person, you get it. I can't recommend Ashley highly enough!

Ashley took wonderful care of Gemma while we were away for two weeks. Although our setup meant she didn't need to handle feeding, watering, or medications, it was clear from day one that Ashley is very experienced with cats. Gemma is naturally shy around new people, so we were amazed that by the end of her visits Ashley had earned her trust. She had Gemma coming out to play, seeking attention, and even giving her sweet leg rubs (we call them hugs!). Knowing Gemma was comfortable and happy while we were away gave us so much peace of mind. The daily photos and messages helped tremendously! Ashley also went above and beyond by watering our plants, checking our mail, and keeping an eye on the house. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was in great shape. We wouldn't hesitate to book Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and cat-savvy sitter.

We now very clearly understand why Ashley has a 5-star rating. She was communicative, organized, flexible, and most importantly, spent lots of time giving love to our three cats while we were away for three weeks. We came home to some very happy kitties, and the pictures she provided us showed that they loved and appreciated her presence and her laser pen skills were clearly on point! Thank you, Ashley!

Ashley was exceptionally attentive to my 5 cats. Everyday while I was away on vacation, she sent photos & videos. Ashley even took my trash containers to the curb. I couldn’t be more satisfied. It was one less thing to worry about while I was gone for 2 weeks.

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.

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 $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 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 Meet & Greet!
