I'm Marina
Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA
Cats hold a special place in my heart since I've lived and grown up with cats my whole life. I'm from Mexico and my family still resides there including my 16-year-old cat named Toby, who I've had the privilege of loving and caring for since he was a tiny kitten. When I first moved to Seattle I felt like something was missing, and that's when I decided to adopt my cute cat Maggie who has given me so much love and taught me so much about caring for cats and understanding their needs and wants... Hello, my name is Marina. I'm excited to meet you and your kitties! 🌟
Cats hold a special place in my heart since I've lived and grown up with cats my whole life. I'm from Mexico and my family still resides there including my 16-year-old cat named Toby, who I've had the privilege of loving and caring for since he was a tiny kitten. When I first moved to Seattle I felt like something was missing, and that's when I decided to adopt my cute cat Maggie who has given me so much love and taught me so much about caring for cats and understanding their needs and wants.
When I'm looking after your cats, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm all about making sure they feel secure and relaxed while you're away. Your instructions? I'll follow them to the letter, making sure your cats' routines stay intact. Whether your cat is outgoing or a bit more reserved, I'll tailor my approach to suit their style. My goal is to make them feel safe and loved.
Please have your and your cats profile updated with picture and care instructions when submitting the request. This will help me a lot to get a feel of the care that's needed.
Feel free to reach out to me with additional questions or specific needs. I look forward connecting with you and opportunities to take care of your cats! 🌼
Learn More About Marina
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love that I get to meet so many cats! I love playing with them and giving them pets and cuddles. Being able to hang out with some kitties while helping owners be at ease while they're away is what I call a win-win.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have an adorable fluffy Persian called Maggie. She has a grumpy face and sleeps all day. She's the best and I love her so much.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
First we'll schedule for a quick meet and greet, preferably in person. I always ask clients to let me know the routine I should follow, where the food is, where the cleaning supplies are, and what the cats like to do or to tell me more on their behavior. I love taking pictures of the cats, so I always let the cat parents know that I'll always send a bunch of pictures of their cats along a written text update of every visit.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I travel back home to Mexico during Christmas time, apart from that I'm mostly available during holidays.

Marina was fabulous! She was attentive to our kitties' needs, communicative, and took care in our home while we were away. She even managed to charm our very shy cat on Day 1. We would love to have Marina back when we are out of town.

Marina took excellent care of our 4 cats while we were away. I could see from the photos that she sent us how comfortable my cats were with her, especially Lexi the shy one🤗 Marina went about and beyond ensuring they were fed, enterteined, and given plenty of love and attention. She also handled any messes, including vomit, with professionalism and care. We are immensely grateful for her outstanding service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services. Thank you Marina!!

Marina is the best! This is our second time using her services. I think my cat was really happy to see her again. Marina made sure Lola got her medicine each day and obviously made her a happy cat. The photos were great but hearing my happy cat purrs on the video was really special. Marina also did a great job of cleaning up after a kitty barf episode.

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 $28.00. 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!

Our cat, Sophie, LOVED Marina and so did we. She was able to give our girl her medication (and even cut up pills for us) with no issues! Marina sent lots of photos and made sure she sent over daily updates. Marina will now be our go to sitter from here on out!

Marina was amazing, taking care of my fur-baby for an extended period of travel with genuine care throughout. Marina sent regular updates with photos, helped keep my kitty groomed and happy and made me feel confident that all was going great back home! I can’t wait to work with Marina again!

We felt so at ease knowing Marina was watching our fur babies. She sent cute photos and kept us up to date on details and moods. One of our kitties is a little shy but just the fact that she’d come out of hiding to be near Marina means a lot! We would happily book Marina again for cat sitting.

I am the ultimate stressed out cat mom when it comes to leaving them for any amount of time. I decided to give Meowtel, well, Marina a chance. And am I glad I did! Unlike a family member or neighbor checking in on the cats for 5-10 minutes each day, Marina came every day for a set period of time. She played with the cats and sent photos as proof! She even fed my shy cat a churu under the bed so she had some interaction. She was very detailed and I looked forward to her updates every day. Please book Marina, you won't be disappointed!

Marina was fantastic! She was professional and quickly arranged a meeting prior to our trip. She followed all directions and sent wonderful updates. This was the first time leaving my kitties for an extended period and I immediately felt that Marina was the perfect sitter for our kitkats. She responded to all messages and sent great pics. I came home to happy and healthy cats.

We were so worried about leaving Mantou, who is a senior and deaf, after settling in Seattle only for a couple of months. Thank goodness for Marina. She was thoughtful, careful and responsible. Best thing we can say is that the next time we need to take a trip, it'll be Marina we'll ask for!

Marina was awesome with my cat. I was out for surgery and she wound up watching my girl for a few weeks. Always sent pics and arrived at the same times 2x a day so my cat got used used to the schedule which helped with her anxiety and kept me at ease. Giving her medication was also not a problem. I would have zero reservations about hiring her in the future. Excellent job done all-around.

Wendy

Marina did an amazing job looking after all 4 of our kitties, including the shy one and the old grumpy guy. She takes fabulous photos and sent detailed updates daily. She also did a great job spotting and cleaning up any accidents that took place while we were gone. I recommend her highly and will book her again myself.
Melissa

Marina is a cat whisperer — one of my two cats is very shy around new people, but she warmed up almost immediately to Marina! The pictures and written updates Marina sent were purr-fect and she was very punctual. I will be requesting Marina again for future cat sitting needs and would highly recommend her services!

Marina was great with updating me with photos from each visit, as well as a description of what she did each visit. She's responsible, timely, and great at cat-sitting. My kitty is shy, but warmed up to Marina quickly. After just 3 visits, the cat was sitting in her favorite place - a lap. Marina genuinely enjoyed spending time with the kitty. They became best buds by the end.

Marina is the best cat sitter ever! she responds very quickly and provides pictures for each visit. Gumby loved her and had lots of love and playtime while I was away.

I would highly recommend Marina! She is very professional, reliable, sweet and caring. Marina sent us updates of what was done and how our cat, Coco, was doing, also pictures and video of Coco. 😊 It was comforting to know Coco was being cared for and doing well while we were away. Marina was very good at communicating also, responded quickly to questions and in getting all the information and arraignments needed prior to us leaving town. I will definitely have Marina care for Coco again when we’re out of town. Highly, highly recommend Marina!

Marina is an excellent cat sitter. My cat is very anxious and not super friendly with strangers. Marina was very patient with him everyday until he slowly warmed up to her. She spent quality time with my “crazy” cat and sent detailed, daily updates. She also captured some really cute photos. I will be requesting her services again in the future and I will recommend her to anyone in the area.

Marina is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She started with being patient with my cats quirks while they got to know her. She made me feel like I was taken care of while I was on vacation and I didn’t have to worry while I was gone. She sent me excellent updates and let me know what was going on at all times. She sent me adorable pictures of my cats playing with her and giving her snuggles. Overall I felt like she is a very kind and capable person. I feel lucky to have her as my new pet sitter.
