I'm Genie | Cat Sitting in Sterling Heights, MI

Hi there! I'm Genie (she/they) and I am a full time professional petsitter that left the corporate world behind to pursue my passion for animal care. I started my journey a few years ago at a local boarding and grooming facility. Since then I've transitioned to petsitting for friends, family, and a growing clientele. I recently discovered Meowtel, and am super happy to be here!! I have two beautiful 5-year-old cats I've raised from kittens, and they are the apples of my eyes. I've learned so much from being their pawrent a...

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

I've been professionally petsitting for over two years, and have had cats of my own since I was little. I'm the very proud cat-mom to two beautiful gray cats that turned 5 this year. I rescued them when they were just a couple months old and they've grown into such wonderful members of our household. I have loved getting to know each and every one of my feline friends, delighted by each and every personality quirk and unique meownnerism. I am determined to give every cat client an excellent pet-sitting experience. That includes any playtime and cuddles your kitty may want; feeding, watering & medication; and a clean litter every visit.

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

With each new cat parent, I will do an in-person meet & greet first in order to introduce myself and get to know your kitty cat(s). This gives you the chance to inform me of your furbabies routines and needs, and I will go through my checklist to ensure I have all the information I need.

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

I will go slow and never pressure your kitty cat into doing something they don't want to. I use pawrent-approved treats and toys to help them get acclimated to my presence. For extreme cases, I have calming pheromone spray that I can use on my clothes prior to entering, if you are comfortable with this.

Katie

Genie is an excellent cat sitter for my 2 cats. She genuinely cares about animals and my cats are obsessed with her. In terms of her ability to take care of my animals she is detail orientated, professional, and communicative. Every session begins with a text letting me know she's there. When she is done she provides a long message with lots of the details including how many excrements and quality of them, how much did they eat, temperament, anything that was different, how they played, and what they did while she was there. Lastly, she always provides a ton of photos of my kitties! I highly recommend Genie, I wish I could keep her a secret so she doesn't get booked up by you will love having her take care of your kitties!

Frequently Asked Questions

Sterling Heights cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
