I'm Ashley | Cat Sitting in Virginia Beach, VA

Experienced Cat-sitter in Virginia Beach 🐾! Cats have been a big part of my life from the moment I was born and I have always had a deep, nurturing love for anything feline. I am originally from NYC, where I pursued a career with ASPCA in the Kitten Nursery facility for 3-4 years. There, I learned to care for neonates and received bottle-feeding training, as well as handling protective Queens. I would say, with little to no exaggeration, that the number of cats I have cared for in my lifetime have well entered the thousands. As a caregiver there, I became familiar with recognizing medical conditions or when something was abnormal with their behaviors as well as thoroughly caring for 20-30 litters during my overnight shift. I have completed some Vet courses at Mercy College to help myself better understand animal behaviors, medications, and disease processes. I have experience administering Oral/topical medications, eye drops/ointment, performing nebulization (on kittens, ages Newborn-6 months old), inhalers, and administering insulin injection...

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

I just made 3 years cat-sitting this past July. It has been such an amazing change of pace in comparison to working in shelters and the environment is so positive and loving! At this point, I've cared for literally thousands of cats and have become accustomed to all sorts of personalities, and have been trusted to care for even the more territorial or feral ones, sometimes even as the only trusted sitter to do so, for some!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet so many unique felines is definitely an upside! And most are so relaxed and loving in their home environment. I get so many snuggles! Their parents are extremely nice and sweet people as well!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! Pepper (M, 5 yrs) and Paprika (F, 2 yrs) and now my partner's cat Bean (F, 3 yrs).

Ashley is incredible! My cat, Renee, has only ever let me or my parents see her, let alone touch her, and Ashley was able to get her comfortable enough to come out of hiding for treats and pets! She also updated me with an extremely detailed description of her visit plus before and after images of food, litter, etc.. The videos and pictures she took of Renee are so sweet and made my family extremely comfortable with leaving Renee alone now and in the future. Highly recommend and I highly appreciate her visits and time with Renee!

Ashley was amazing with my cat. My cat is shy and not used to being left alone, Asley took her time, played into my cats love of being brushed and was able to get her to leave her hiding spots. Ashley kept me updated all weekend with pics and videos. she is very quick to respond to messages and answered all my questions. I will definitely book Ashley for my next trip!

Frequently Asked Questions

Virginia Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
