Learn More About Ashley

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

I have been cat sitting on and off for neighbors, friends and family, and am looking to cat sit in my community for others!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Samie, who is turning 21 this year, and Luna, who is going on four. We adopted Luna to give Samie some company, and they are very happy together now.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I know how quick cats can be, so from first opening the door of the house, I am watching to ensure the cat doesn’t try to slip by. Once I spend time feeding and playing with the cats, I ensure that everything is put away to make sure the cat cannot get into anything they shouldn’t be in. I’ll make sure any pet cameras are functioning properly, as well as provide daily text and picture updates for peace of mind.

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

I give the cat time to warm up to me, letting them get a sense of my smell and providing things like toys, food and treats to build trust. I try to quietly talk to the cat to get used to me, but provide plenty of space for them to decide if and when they want to approach.

I absolutely cannot recommend Ashley enough! This was supposed to be a quick and easy weekend trip when suddenly a snowstorm rolled into town and our flights back home were cancelled. I was so worried - this has been my nightmare since moving up to DC four years ago. Ashley came in on Sunday and absolutely melted all my worries. She was so responsive, setting up extra food, water, and litter for my three cats. She even had the foresight to ask about my flight back and made room in her schedule to accommodate me. It was a dream to work with her and know that my cats were in such good hands. I appreciate the detailed write ups and photos of my kitties and all the love and care she put into taking care of them!! Thank you so much Ashley!

Ashley was great. Her communication was stellar. Even during the snow, she followed a contingency plan to the T. She was very kind with my Rory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alexandria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
