Cat Sitting in Louisville, KY

I know all too well the stress looking for someone to care for your kitty while you’re away. You want to find someone who will love and care for them as much as you do. Not just scooping and feeding.
I have been in that situation and felt the same.

I’ve had cats my whole life, volunteered at shelters and cat sitting for over 15 years. Doing this for others is something I love, and truly enjoy.

I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. Kitten, seniors, special needs and hospice kitties. I've also worked with overly affectionate, shy/scared, and aggressive cats...

I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. Kitten, seniors, special needs and hospice kitties. I've also worked with overly affectionate, shy/scared, and aggressive cats. I love them all!

My approach as a sitter is creating a stress free experience and space to allow them their time to review me . Cats have their own unique personality & preferences so I adapt my care to suit their individual need.
They deserve the best human possible. I know every cat needs to be understood and it is our job to be patient and kind.

When you have to leave your pet, I will provide the same care and love as you would for them. You can have peace of mind I will follow your instructions and provide the best care in your absence.

I live in the Clifton/Crescent Hill area and work from home so I am available during business hours if needed.

I appreciate your consideration and happy to chat about your cats specific needs and answer any questions.

Learn More About Genny

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

I’ve been cat sitting for over 15 years for friends, and then friends of friends. I joined Meowtel in 2022.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I've always love getting to know each cat I sit for and discovering their unique personality. Its so much fun to hang out and earn their trust.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

They are all so much fun, but one that sticks out is a beautiful little fluffy girl that always hid and hissed at me. After several visits, I noticed she would always be behind me watching and would scamper off when I would turn to look at her. After a few times of this happening, it was clear this was a game that she amused her. I called her Miss Hissy pants, and that would immediately make her roll and show me her belly. She was very cuddly and full of love, but just had to make sure I knew she was in charge.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I adopted a senior kitty a few yrs ago who was a long term stay at the shelter. Her name is Maggie and she is everything! Earning her trust has been a wonderful experience and taught me so much.

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

Honestly all of the cat sitters on Meowtel in this area are incredible! You have several good choices, and can't go wrong with any of us. Pick the profile that is close to you and reach out to as many sitters as you like. Make sure you are comfortable and ask questions then set up a call to see if you feel like they are someone you feel good about in your home.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Get to know the cat parent and their experience, (if any) using a cat sitter. Learn as much about the kitty and their habits, likes and dislikes. Take notes to learn as much as I can about the them and their process with their kitty.

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

Make sure the door I use is secure while I'm entering and exiting. Ensure everything is secure in the home and not a potential danger to the home or kitty.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I do encourage anyone to book out as far as they want. My calendar is open for the entire year if not, just email me. I get booked up for holidays a month to two months out. So I may have the holiday marked off if I get too many bookings. So if you know you’re going to be out, you can schedule me out a year in advance if you’d like.

What is your favorite cat toy?

There are so many great new toys out, but it is either a feather stick or the "peek-a-boo" feather that pops out of the box.

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

Patience and time is the only way. Soft, calm voice and slow moments. Never chase a cat unless they are in play mode. Depending on the cat, sometimes I'll sit near where they are hiding and speak softly to them so they can get used to my voice and smell. Shaking a bag of treats, or their toy sometimes works. Recently, I had a new reservation for a sweet little shy tuxie and I knew that she was scared without her parents for the first time. She hid for 2 days, but on the 3rd day, while I was sitting next to where she was hiding, she popped her head out for a treat.

Genny definitely goes anove and beyond taking care of our babies. Our two babies got in a vicious fight iber a cat outside and every time they see each other it starts with growling and then hissing. One has redirected aggression. Meaning he has directed his direction to our girl cat. As a result we have had to keep them separated in hopes they will be best friends. Genny was able to switch them out if their spaces and maintain a positive atmosphere for them. It is a lot work! she would send us videos, pictures, and had a camera on them ti watch them! I dont know how we ever got along without her! I promise you she is the best if the best!

once again, Genny Was a fantastic choice. As a repeat client of Genny’s, I can’t say Enough good things about her. Her communication is always excellent and she provides thorough updates and plenty of cute pictures. she follows all instructions to a T, and put in effort to make sure both cat and human are comfortable with the process. MOST importantly, though, Genny takes the time to get to know your cats. It is evident that she really, genuinely, truly cares about your cats and their care.The genuine love she shows for my cats makes me feel safe, confident, and excited to book with her again. I wish I could give her more stars!

Genny is the best! She not only comes over to feed and check in on our cat, but she's always bringing toys to play and engage with him while we are gone. She sends texts and video updates everyday, which I love and appreciate! Could not recommend her enough, we are so happy we found Genny!!

Genny was so thoughtful, sending videos and pictures every day of my two cats. She brought toys and played with them and fed them treats. Even my shy cat loved her! I felt totally at peace with her there and trusted her completely. I will book Genny again and again!!

Genny did an amazing job with our tuxedo cat, Socks! This was our first time using Meowtel, and I really didn’t know what to expect….but I felt confident saying that Genny exceeded our expectations in every way! We had a 10-day trip to Europe and Genny was very reliable with communication (pictures and videos), answering our questions , and giving our boy so much extra love and attention. She also helped bring in any mail/packages and alerted us if anything needed attention at the house! it was so nice to come home from our trip knowing that our home and our cat had been in great hands…it was clear she went above and beyond getting to know Socks and to help him feel loved while we were away. We definitely will use her again for multi-day trips and I recommend you do the same!

We were traveling in Europe during historic storms and flooding in the Louisville area. Genny went above and beyond to keep us posted about the status of our home even getting things off the floor and unplugging things in case the basement flooded. It was a traumatic time for our kitties as well. Genny did everything in her power to calm and comfort two traumatized cats. We have used Genny multiple times and been impressed on every occasion. She is organized, reliable, and very caring. We will continue to preference her for every future trip. I cannot say enough positive things about our experiences.

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.

Louisville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
