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 great with my kitties during her visits! We were worried about one of our babies who is very reserved and anxious, but Shin did a great job at bonding with her and easing her nerves while we were away!

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! 💕😻

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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

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!
