Cat Mom Wants To Meet Your Fur Baby

I'm Rose

Cat Sitting in Mill Valley, CA

I have loved cats for as long as I can remember and there's always been at least one special kitty in my world for just as long.

My current kitty, Jayne, has mild cerabellar hypoplasia (which happens when a kitten is born without the parts of her brain than control fine muscle movement being completely developed) and I understand my special needs baby on a deep level; I promise to care for your unique friend with equal love.

My love for cats has led me to volunteer with various cat shelters and rescues and I'm currently the intake coordinator for a rescue group...

My love for cats has led me to volunteer with various cat shelters and rescues and I'm currently the intake coordinator for a rescue group.

I'm very shy with people, I admit; I have high functioning autism and have always related more to animals than people.
I'm gentle and friendly, though, and cats (as well as other animals) tend to approach me first; I'm not aggressive at a first meeting and if you look at my reviews, I've made friends with cats that were expected to hide from all "strangers".

What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassion, intelligence, humility and experience as a genuine lover of cats. I'm also in Southern Marin County, and in close proximity, if that's where you are.

Learn More About Rose

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

40 years! Wow! That's a long time but I started caring for cats alone at a young age. I started volunteering at my first animal shelter, and specializing with cats there, 33 years ago.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know the personality of each kitty I meet. Cats are all so wise and wonderful that it's hard to decide what the very best thing is!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I'm brand new to the platform but I recently took a cat to the vet for a lady who had broken her hip. The cat needed her claws trimmed, and I'll do anything for a kitty, so I took the her to the vet. It worked out well and everyone, including the kitty, was pleased. EDIT: So, I've been with Meowtel a little while now and I really can't pick one favorite reservation. I'm excited to Meet & Greet each cat and get to know them during the reservation. I just love cats!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one kitty and her name is Jayne; she's a adorable snuggler with a tuxedo coat and she has a little "burglar mask" on her face!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Hire me! Just kidding! In all seriousness, though, I do provide the loving care that you can be confident in entrusting me with caring for your cat(s). I'm also very good at providing detailed information about kitties and photos, which are important factors.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I'm available to visit kitties 365 days a year! Cat sitting in my full time career and I'm available whenever you need me, even if that means that I visit on holidays.

Wow - Rose was so great at communication, so on time with her visits, so precise in following our instructions and so caring that our super-shy kitty even came out to take a peek at her a few times. With a senior cat who needs regular medication, going away has felt like a challenge - Rose made us feel safe and secure with photos and checked in any time she had the slightest question. We recommend her without hesitation!

Rose is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter, and I highly recommend her! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. She arranged our meet-and-greet right away, which I really appreciated and immediately gave me confidence that my cats would be in great hands. During every drop-in visit, she sent thoughtful updates along with plenty of photos, which made being away from my cats so much easier. She is dependable and always showed up exactly as promised, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious that Rose genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She spends time playing with my cats, and they absolutely loved the laser mouse pointer she brought—it quickly became one of their favorite toys! When I returned home, my cats were happy, relaxed, and very well adjusted, which says everything about the care they received. Rose truly goes above and beyond. When I had a couple of additional things I wanted checked at the house, she didn’t hesitate to go back and take care of them for me. That level of kindness and dedication is hard to find. I always know my cats are in good hands with Rose, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, she’s the perfect choice!

Rose was very quick in responding to our requests for cat sitting dates which was much appreciated, and also flexible if we had any changes to the schedule. She also arranged for an immediate meet and greet, which was very helpful. We even added on three extra dates while we were at work before we left for vacation, so the kitties could start to get used to her before we left them alone with her based on her setting up the meet and greet immediately after our request. We found that super helpful. Rose was the most attentive to our fur babies and showed extreme care and observation, and respecting their own individual personalities. She was able to draw my most reserved kitty out from under the bed for pet pets and treats and headbutting in her hand. This was amazing for us to witness with her videos and pictures and clearly the kitties trusted her careful respectful, nature and care.. She managed each personality in our household with utmost respect and not forcing anything on any of our three cats and respected their boundaries. She kept us updated each time she came to visit, even if it was twice a day, with pictures and videos and comments of their progress, all with a sense of humor, to accepting her presence in their house and food activities. She truly was invested in trying different ways to engage with our kitties and take advice from us on what to do to help. Each of our three cats has a different food preference and schedule, and she met all of their individual needs with feedback. She was super communicative, and we enjoyed having less anxiety on our trip away, due to her communication and wonderful care of our kitties. We will definitely keep her in our fur baby family whenever we are away. I highly recommend her services, especially to anyone who has shy kitties and for her constant communication. When she had any questions about care, food, or the house in general, she always asked. She did a great job at cleaning kitty boxes every day or every visit, and cleaning up kitty puke with her own products that she brought. As well as taking out the kitty box material with her own bag and placing it in the trash outside. When we came home, our kitties were happy and came running to us and did not have any hesitation or kitty separation madness or trauma from our absence and they immediately returned to their normal behavior. We attribute this to roses amazing Care and keeping to their schedules.

Rose was super communicative throughout our week away. She managed feedings, delayed feedings, litter clean-up, water checks and our somewhat complicated security system with no issues. It was great knowing our kitties were in good hands.

I was going away for surgery not vacation. I didn’t know how long I would be gone. Since I was having a difficult time, Rose kept my husband informed about how our kitties were doing and checked to see if we’d need additional support. Despite the fact that she commuted from Mill Valley to Santa Rosa, she was utterly dependable and helpful. Rose is a gem!

Rose is very thoughtful and caring with our cats. one is newly adopted and super shy. She moved his food to a place near his hiding spot to help him feel more comfortable while we were gone. She was extremely communicative during each visit and felt cared for while we were away missing our babies!

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.

Mill Valley cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $42.00. 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!
