Dedicated Cat Specialist
Hi! I’m Geni, and cats are basically my whole thing. A lot of sitters here are more dog-focused, but I’ve loved cats my whole life and that’s where my real experience is. Whether it’s a hyper kitten or a grumpy old senior, I get that cats do best with their normal routine, some patience, and not being pushed into attention they don’t want. I grew up with cats and volunteered at a shelter for a while, so I’ve gotten pretty good at reading their body language. Like knowing when a shy cat just wants me nearby (not bothering them), vs. when a more outgoing one is dying for playtime. For drop-ins I cover the basics: fresh food and water, a properly cleaned litter box, and some real one-on-one time, whether that’s play or just chin scratches. I’m also careful about home security (doors locked, nothing left open), and I’ll send you plenty of photo updates so you know everything’s good while you’re away (plus you get some cute cat pics out of it, bonus for you).

Safety, trust & environment
When I’m doing drop-ins, keeping your cat safe and your home secure is a big deal to me. I’m careful about locking up, setting alarms if you have them, and watching out for sneaky door-darters when I’m coming and going (cats have a sixth sense for open doors, I swear). I’ll stick to whatever instructions you give me, exact food measurements, favorite hiding spots to check on, all of it. And before I head out I always do one more walkthrough, just to double check everything’s locked up and your kitty’s safe and accounted for.
Ratings and reviews
Geni was so accommodating with my last minute travel plans over Labor Day weekend + a life saver. She was very thorough with our meet and greet + did a great job with my babies! She helped care for my senior boy and his very young tortie sister this weekend. Thank you again!
Geni was wonderful! She came over before we left to meet our cats and took the time to ask lots of questions so she knew exactly how to care for them. While we were away, she sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We would definitely use Geni again and highly recommend her!
Geni was a superb sitter for our 2 cats! She was an outstanding caregiver who was thorough and thoughtful. We were away for 8 days and came home to pristine conditions and happy kitties. Her photos showed a lot of love and attention. We will definitely book Geni again for our next vacation!
Geni did a fantastic job watching our cats! She was dependable, took great care of them, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. One of my biggest concerns was that our cats would be stressed, but it was so obvious from the pictures that they were comfortable, happy, and really liked Geni. That gave us such peace of mind! We couldn’t have asked for someone better and would 100% recommend Geni. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our cats again! 🐾❤️
I’ve been with Geni for six years, and she is easily the biggest cat lover I know. Her whole family is huge with animals, and she’s spent her entire life caring for cats and learning their unique personalities. She is incredibly responsible, deeply respects their boundaries, and always prioritizes their safety and comfort. I would trust her with any pet without a single hesitation.

Schedule
I have a ton of flexibility this summer before my full-time corporate job starts up in the fall. Since I'm new to the area and don't have a rigid daily schedule yet, I'm pretty much wide open for morning, afternoon, or evening drop-ins. This makes it super easy for me to stick to your cat's exact feeding or routine times without having to rush through the visit.
- CatsGeni can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Since I only work with cats, it really helps to know how they are around new people. Are they the type to come investigate right away, or do they usually disappear under the bed when someone new walks in? Feeding routine and portions are good to know too, along with any favorite hiding spots I should check on. If they have any medical needs, dietary stuff, or toys they’re obsessed with, definitely share that as well. The more I know about their usual routine going in, the easier it is to keep things feeling normal for them while you’re gone.
