Learn More About Genie

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

I've been petsitting for over 3 years, caring for cats and other animals with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and medical needs. Whether it’s a shy kitty or a playful one, I tailor my approach to ensure every cat feels safe and loved.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love building relationships with each cat I care for, especially helping shy or anxious ones feel safe and comfortable!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two, Tonks (my sweet girl) and Finn (my goofy boy), both with beautiful gray coats. They are siblings I rescued as kittens over 6 years ago. They are truly the apples of my eyes, and I couldn’t love them more 🩶🩶

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

I always start with an in-person meet & greet to introduce myself and get to know your cat(s). This is a great opportunity to share their routines, needs, and preferences. I’ll also go through my detailed checklist to make sure I have all the information needed to provide safe, personalized care for your furbabies. Once the reservation begins, I will communicate each time I arrive and depart your house, with multiple pics/videos along with a detailed update of how the visit with your kitties went at each departure. Visits will follow your preferred routine, starting with a calm entrance and filled with mealtime, any necessary medications/supplements, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and any playtime or cuddles.

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

I take the safety of your cats and home very seriously. For your kitties, I ensure they’re in a safe environment by following your instructions carefully, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and providing regular check-ins to make sure they’re happy and healthy. For your home, I’m mindful about securing doors and windows, and I’ll follow any specific protocols you have for locking up. I’m also respectful of your space and privacy, treating your home as I would my own. Your cat’s well-being and your trust are my top priorities. I am also comprehensively insured and bonded as a pet sitter.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, as a full-time professional cat sitter, I am typically available for all major holidays. Reach out today to inquire about any specific holidays or dates!

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

I always take things slow and never pressure a kitty to do anything they’re uncomfortable with. I use treats and toys approved by you to help them feel more at ease, and for extra-sensitive kitties, I can even use calming pheromone spray on my clothes if that’s helpful. If your cat needs extra time to get used to me, you can book trial drop-ins before your trip to help them feel more comfortable. I’m here to make sure your kitty feels safe and cared for—message me anytime to chat about your furbaby’s needs! 🐾

Genie was beyond amazing. She fit us into her schedule when we had a last minute change of plans. Our cat is high maintenance and needs medicine twice daily along with special potty needs as she’s a senior- Genie handled it all with patience and professionalism. Her updates were thorough and gave me such peace of mind that my kitty was being well taken care of while we were away. She truly is a cat lover and will take great care of your kitties!

Genie exceeded my expectations! She checked in on my cat per the schedule established, let me know when she arrived, what she did while there and when she left. She also took so many pics of my cat! I loved that. Plus she cleaned up the food and litter box so well. Genie’s communication is stellar! On top of everything, she left a thank you note and welcome home card for us to return to. I highly recommend Genie!

We found ourselves in need of a kitty-sitter for the weekend that was adept at giving meds. We've never used a service before. I found Meowtel's website and was thrilled there were so many caregivers to choose from. I was drawn to Genie's profile because of her experience and great reviews. She was quick to respond and offered several days/times for the initial meet and greet. Genie was warm and friendly and mindful of how the cats may perceive a new visitor. She was thorough and didn't rush. By the end of our first meeting, we were relieved to have been able to book with Genie and were not stressed at all about leaving our cars in her care. Everything went super smooth. Genie always messaged us about her arrival and how the furbabies were doing during the visits. She included lots of pictures too. We were at total ease knowing our kitty boys were getting the best care with Genie. We will definitely book with her again!:)

Genie is very thorough catsitter. She goes through every single scenario before she starts catsitting your cat and sends very detailed updates during the process as well. I felt very comfortable to rely on her during my trip. She seems like a very sweet person herself and got easily my cat's trust!

We loved Genie so much the first time we booked them, we booked them again! While we are away, Genie provides stellar care for our indoor and community cats. My husband and I don't worry at all when Genie is caring for our cat-babies. She is professional, detail oriented, enthusiastic, and kind. When we return home, we don't get snubbed; our cats happily greet us at the door because they are so content. Our cats love Genie!

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 the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
