I have always loved cats, always loved the house-cat lifestyle. I find cats to be very sweet and mischievous pets. I've always had a cat at home while growing up. I currently have one cat, my older cat had to be put down recently. In high school, I fostered and homed over 30 cats and kittens. In college, I volunteered at the Peninsula Humane Society during kitten seasons.

I am based in San Mateo county and can service as far north as South San Francisco and as far south as Palo Alto. I am only available to service the peninsula and I drive my own vehicle. Please feel free to message me for availability and contact information.

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.

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.

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.

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 $40.00. 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!
