Learn More About Rosemary

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have a cat of my own that I care for. I also will cat sit for some friends from time to time. I have 5 years experience with cat sitting for friends and only 1 year experience with cat-sitting on sitting apps.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy playing with the cats by using the cat wand. I love watching the cats exercise by pouncing and jumping. It’s so cute to see them playing with toys.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a short hair tabby named Meowsie. He is deaf but that does not take away from me being able to communicate things to him or him trying to communicate things to me . He can still meow. I mostly try to use a sort of cat sign language to him and he understands.

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

I always make sure to stick to the cat parent’a instructions. Copies of the home key is always with me on a separate key ring. I always enter the home carefully to make sure there isn’t any runaway kitties. I always make sure the door is locked when I leave the home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available for drop-ins on holidays but no overnights.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the wand with the dangly string. This helps me exercise my cat when he needs to get some energy out.

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

I take my time to get to know timid or anxious cats. I understand that cats can be territorial. My goal is always make sure that the cat learns that I am there to be their friend and not harm them.

Rosemary was great right from the start. she had that cat charmer magic that made both my cats come for pets the minute she walked in the door. She was attentive to detail. i was especially impressed that she remembered that I had written on the app for a previous sitter that Max likes to be petted on his body and Tommy likes to be petted on his head. She had them both begging for more pets in no time. she sent me lots of photos updating me and showing me that she did all the things I asked her to. she is by far my FAVORITE sitter on meowtel. Rosemary really treats this like a job and takes her job seriously. I really appreciate that and so did Max and Tommy!

My cat is a very shy reserved kittie so I was delighted to know that on the 3rd visit she actually allowed Rosemary to see her without running away. Rosie was patient with Olive and respectful of my home. Excellent service.

Rosemary was a fantastic sitter at short notice for our little one, who is normally very defensive. They were playing together like besties, after food of course. Highly recommend Rosemary for your needs!

My husband and I are so happy that we found Rosemary on the Meowtel app. She was amazing with our 7 cats and all of them loved her( even my old grumpy one Luna). She was very communicative, followed instructions we gave her and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable that our furry kids were in good hands while out on vacation. We will definitely be booking with Rosemary again in the near future.

rosemary is the best cat nanny I’ve ever had. she’s loves all 7 of my crazy fur babies and is able to make sure to take care of all of them when I’m out for travel. definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone that spends time with your fur kids and will be able to keep up with all the fur baby tasks needed while you’re gone. thank you again Rosemary! my cats always look forward to seeing you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Escondido cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
