What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I began cat sitting with Meowtel in June 2023, but my experience started in the summer of 2011. I was a sophmore in high school when I began fostering cats and kittens for the Homeless Cat Network and other local organizations. I’ve raised and homed over 50 cats and kittens over the years.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes, I currently have one kitty, her name is Josie. She is about 10 years old. She seems to be a long-haired tabby, with some traces of a large breed in her. She is super friendly, hates to be left home alone, and loves to explore new environments. She is my little buddy and Iam her human.
Are you usually available during holidays?
For the most part, yes. I do have family that live aborad, so occasionally I may be out of town or in town speading the holiday with them, but that usually only happens once a year off a holiday, or once every other year on a holiday.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The laser pointer is always a winner for me and for most cats, and string toys are always a good interactive activity that helps with bonding between sitter and kitty.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to give shy or anxious kitties their space and allow them time to learn that I mean them no harm, that I am not there to distrub them or their peace, and that I am there to feed them and give them treats. If your shy kitty approaches me, thats wonderful. If your kitty never grows comfortable enough to approach me, thats wonderful too. As long as they feel safe and are still eating and going potty normally, thats whats most important.

Rosemarie has been a wonderful cat sitter! My normally shy cat Sheena was cuddling with her almost right away. I had to leave Sheena for two weeks for the first time in her life, and I was nervous how Sheena would deal with it, but Rosemarie took such good care of her Sheena was absolutely fine! I’d definitely want Rosemarie to be my cat sitter again.

This is the first time our family hired a cat sitter for our three cats. Each of our cats had specific instructions or medications so we were a bit nervous. Rosemarie was able to ease our worries by providing excellent care to our cats so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. Rosemarie was able to scoop the litter, water our plants, clean up any of the cat’s messes, and even helped bring in packages. We will for sure book again!

Rosie is always on top of whatever needs doing re: litter box, and food plus enough water to last 24 hours. One of our cats is a senior who only eats shredded roast chicken. Rosie knows to put out a separate dish for her as she has no interest in canned wet food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Burlingame cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. 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!

Rosemarie is a kind and conscientious cat sitter. My kitties like her, she contacts me when appropriate, like asking which wet food to feed (there are several varieties in the kitchen) and which toys are favorites.

I don't have to write anything for Rosie's current customers, because they already know. For the rest of you: 1. She bonded with Stella from the gitgo. Not one hiss, which is really history-making. 2. She def got Stella's needs down: food/lickins/treats each day, two *different* water bowls, clean litter box when I'm gone for a week, and talk from a human for at least a while each day. 3. She def got my needs down: some regularity in her visits and feedback about Stella's health. I don't need daily photos, but Rosie likes to do them I guess. This visit it was particularly important that she was watching over 17yo Stella and giving me her honest opinion about her health. Stella yowled for a bit and Rosie spotted that she needs a claw trim at least, and I'm thinking a vet visit 2 b sure. I am so grateful that I could take off for a week and not be concerned that Stella was going to be forgotten or just "serviced." I can heartily recommend Rosie and will of course return myself to use her services once again.

Rosemarie was wonderful. She took care of our cats for almost ten days, and it was the first time that our cats weren’t stressed when we got back after a long trip! She knew a ton about how to acclimate cats to a stranger, and really went above and beyond with spending time with them, taking care of them, and making sure they were safe and happy. She was super responsive and even came by last minute when we forgot to give her the right key fob! Would 100% recommend her- our babies were in great hands!
Frank
July 24, 2023
Easy 5 stars here. Rosie showed up on time for our meet 'n greet AND to take care of Stella for the reservation we booked. She listened well and took care of my friend lovingly ... even down to custom-mixing her lickins (+ food, water, litter check, patio visit if Stella requested, Greenies treats) and sending me updates (w/pics) following visits. We are probably not the easiest customers to bear ... but Rosie GOT IT. I was very happy (and relieved) with her service, can heartily recommend and will repeat.

Rosemarie was very communicative and responded to us very quickly, sharing daily updates of our beloved furry son, Cray. Cray loves to play hard and it sounds like he had a fun time with Rosemarie's laser pointer action. Overall we're grateful he had someone to hang out with who was very understanding about cats and we wholeheartedly recommend Rosemarie's service!
