I'm Rina

Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Rina and I am a certified cat lady. I have had cats or volunteered/fostered for about five years. I’ve had three forever fosters: Violet (a sleek older grandma black cat with stage 4 CKD), Nora (sweet round black cat with cancer), and Goose (a grandma grey and white cat who had IBD). Forever fosters have medical needs and I have experience with administering oral, topical, and injection meds as well as subQ fluids. My overall cat experience includes kittens, healthy cats, older cats, kidney cats and cancer cats!

I also “adopted” Lemons, a sassy 14 year old tortico who is in my profile photo, when I moved in with my partner.

I’m a full-time marketing manager and have always been WFH. My schedule is therefore a bit flexible since I’ve never had an office. If you don’t mind me working from your home, I’m happy to sit and provide some human company to your fur babies as well!

I live in the northern Ballard area and will travel within a 3 mile or so radius. Weekends and holidays tend to be more flexible for me so if you are outside of this range, feel free to submit a request and I will let you know asap whether I can cat sit or not.

I have a very high degree of confidence in my cat photography and videography skills, so you can be sure to have some amazing mementos of your kitties while you were away. Feel free to take a look at my gallery for some examples.

My hobbies include pottery, pole dancing, checking out the newest coffee shop, and anything related to culture/arts. I speak Japanese fluently and Korean conversationally.

I look forward to working with you and meeting your amazing cats!

Learn More About Rina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Lemons is a sassy 14 year old tortico with total tortitude. She is extremely vocal and independent, but will make air biscuits when you hold her a certain way and also pat her side at the same time. She has learned “sit”, “paw” and will also stand for churu treats!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will do a ~30 min complimentary Meet and Greet to make sure we’re comfortable with each other - both human to human and me with your kitties. I take this time to go through the cat routines of food, water, litter, toys, and anything additional I need to know such as what your kitties’ personalities are like or if they have any medical needs and what they are.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The cat dancer has been the cheapest and most reaction-inducing toy amongst all of the cats I’ve had. Catnip is super hit or miss - cat dancer is the way to go!

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

I’m confident with my ability to lure out your timid and anxious kitties! In my entire sitting experience there’s only ever been one cat that refused to meet with me. All other cats have warmed up during some point of the reservation leading to some great exchanges and photo/video moments.

Rina took extremely good care of my cats. Updates were frequent and included good pictures & videos of my cats being entertained. I also have a very shy cat who does not warm up to people easily. Rina was extremely patient with her, and went the extra mile to ensure that she still got a good serving for dinner desoite often hiding away under a blanket.

So relieved to have booked Rina to care for our babies over a last minute holiday trip! The meet and greet was quick but thorough; she took notes, asked all the right questions, and even tested the spare key in our lock before she left. She sent an update with pictures/video during each visit and my cats seemed to warm up to her immediately (and no issues medicating our sassy calico or shy hoarding boy!) The gang was completely unimpressed by our return home, which to me is the sign of a great cat sitter 😅

Rina was amazing! She was very thorough and thoughtful from the meet-and-greet to the final visit. Two of our three girls loved her right away and she put in lots of effort to make sure our most skittish kitty was doing ok. I highly recommend Rina!

We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, thoughtful, and detail-oriented cat sitter during our three-week vacation! From the moment we met Rina, it was clear how much she truly loves and understands animals. She went above and beyond to ensure our cat, Ruben, felt comfortable, loved, and cared for in our absence. She provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, giving us much peace of mind. Seeing Ruben happy, playful, and relaxed under her care was so reassuring. She even took the time to learn about his favorite toys, routines, and quirks to ensure he felt as close to his regular routine as possible. We also appreciated her attention to detail—she kept Ruben's food and water bowls clean and ensured his litter box was spotless. Coming home to a calm and purry Ruben spoke volumes about the care and effort she put into looking after him. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like their own, we wholeheartedly recommend Rina!!! Ruben already misses her, and we know who we’ll call for our next trip!

Rina was so perfect for our little ones! She was super sweet and playful for our very needy boy while being very gentle with our fiesty girl cat. All of her updates were thorough and she sent lots of photos! We couldn’t recommend Rina enough, she did such a great job over the holidays!

Booked Rina for a second time for a 3-day res and the cats greeted her as if she never left. They both enjoy playing with her and getting fed treats. It gives peace of mind knowing that the cats are taken care of while away.

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.

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
