Learn More About Shin

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

My process starts with a quick meet & greet to learn about your cat’s routine, quirks, and needs. I ask about food, litter, meds, and favorite toys then keep you updated with daily pics and check-ins during the sit!

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

I follow the cat’s routine closely, double checking doors, windows, and litter areas each visit, and keep toxic items out of reach. I also respect home security instructions and update the owner regularly so they know everything is safe and sound.

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

I give timid cats plenty of space, move slowly, and speak softly. I let them approach on their own terms, stick to their routine, and use treats or toys to build trust gently.

Shin was an excellent cat sitter for my 2 1 year old cats. She was super flexible for a last minute booking, very detail oriented and sent great updates daily! Will definitely book again!

If you’re looking for a cat-sitter, Shin is your gal! From the moment I met her, I knew she’d do a fantastic job. I was right! She is both a people-person and a cat-person, and you can tell she has a loves for cats. She is so friendly and takes notes of everything you tell her to make sure she gets everything right. She sent me pics and updates of my babies while I was away. I’m definitely booking her again in the future! 💕😻

Shin was amazing with my two cats—attentive, calm, and genuinely caring. She handled a stressful situation with patience and quick thinking, keeping me updated the whole time. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such capable hands. I highly recommend her!

Shin is a wonderful cat sitter - respectful, timely and considerate she is the modern day cat whisperer! I have left my cat in her care plenty of times over the last two years and never have had to worry about coming home to any trouble. Shin would sometimes even provide me with advice on cat care that I carry with me to this very day. A reliable choice for the Seattle area!

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
