Services

Availability

Cat sitting is my main job so I try to provide visits according to the cat's usual schedule (or as close as possible subject to other client bookings). I am able to do overnight sits or drop-in visits throughout the week. I offer my services through Rover and through other channels so sometimes show as unavailable.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer cat sitting at the cat's usual home. I don't offer cat boarding as I feel strongly that cats prefer their own environment to avoid causing them stress. I am a big believer in cats having consent to what level they want to interact and am happy to build trust over whatever time frame the cat needs. I try to move quite slowly and quietly to avoid causing a cat stress.

Information Genna M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cat has any particular behaviours that are normal to your cat but may not be obvious. An example maybe that the cat doesn't like a particular flavour of food or has a certain hiding place or likes to splash their water bowl.

A typical day

I take direction of what your cat likes and needs from both you and most importantly your cat. - Enrichment activities especially for high energy cats with cat's toys or ribbons - Treat trails (if treats are allowed) - Brushing (if your cat likes) - Stroking (in the areas your cat likes) - Allow cats in or out (as the owner directs) - Provide food & drink as directed or check & maintain auto feeders and water fountains - Maintain / clean litter trays (if required) - Administer oral medication (if required)

Full-time feline friend, no dogs

Cat care experience

I'm a huge cat lover and former owner of a mix of homely house dwellers and adventurous outdoor felines. Although I don’t currently have a cat of my own (due to lease restrictions), I’m directing my passion and experience for cats into providing a professional cat-sitting service after years of owning cats since I was a child. I stop to say hello to every cat I meet in the street too as I love to meet new cats and love learning about their individual characters. History of my cat care: 🐾 Gruffalo, a mature black panther lookalike adopted from Brighton City Cat Shelter who had cancer on his nose. He lived his best cheeky life knocking things off the table, late night zoomies, chasing after the red dot laser light and early morning chats before breakfast. 🐾 Girlie a placid mature adopted black & white cat who loved cuddles and sitting on your lap and being close by to the computer so much so she used to walk on the keyboard and start webchats! 🐾 Kitcat / KC adopted as a mischievous kitten after a friend had a baby that the cat didn't get along with. KC scaled the curtains and was just a buddle of energy that never tired of chasing feathers. 🐾 Tisha was adopted as a young cat who was my first cat love. She was a beautiful tortie who loved chin rubs but don't ever touch her tummy. She was a stealth hunter and would often bring "presents" despite having a bell on her collar. I've really enjoyed looking after several Cat In A Flat kitty clients including repeat bookings with: 🐾Teddy & Vito (Prawn) who both request tummy tickles as soon as I walk in or wake me with gentle meows for breakfast 🐾 Nina, a sweet Asian Tiffanie who is very energetic and likes to chase her powered ball 🐾 Sisters Sooty & nervous Sweep, Sooty loves to be brushed & we play "Seek the Sweep" with treat trails 🐾Minnie, a white cat who still enjoys her red dot laser chase despite needing pain medication. 🐾 Sisters, playful and brush loving Luna & Mabel who likes to chill in her hideaway during the November fireworks and the house renovations although she is letting me brush her now too. Also significant time with: 🐾 Ember, a playful tortie & white who loves her tunnel and treats 🐾 Looseal a tabby cat who normally isn't a lap cat but jumps on mine every visit 🐾 Wolfie, a night time prowler who loves Dreamies after his daily brush 🐾 Penny, an energetic Bengal kitten who constantly runs, jumps & plays with all her toys. 🐾 Marty, my most anxious kitty yet but was soon on my lap at every opportunity or asking for back scrubs 🐾 Sebastiana, a long hair tortie who chases her scrunched up foil balls & loves a lap cuddle 🐾Three handsome Ragdoll cats called Wolfgang, Steve and Cola who loved running round the house and chasing springing toys. 🐾Rocky who is a speedy tuxedo cat that likes to groom a little too much but over Xmas we got him to take some meds and he got some peach fuzz fur back. Short visits with: 🐾 Mila who needed an emergency sitter, she likes to sit arms length away but still wants head tickles. 🐾 Mochi, a Highland Straight, white ball of fluff who enjoys watching the world from high up 🐾 Siblings Ash & nervous Misty had fun playing with me whilst their owners got hitched. 🐾 Siblings Callie & Io, both energetic Bengals who both liked to play & eat treats. Callie was so good at taking her meds too. 🐾 Kiki, an indoor tabby who may have been a dog in a former life as he likes to play fetch if you throw his toy in the right way. 🐾Sylvie, who could take over the Sheba adverts likes to be cosy under the bed when new people come. She came to investigate me at the end of her treat trail though and decided I was good at arranging her toys in a circle for her. 🐾Max, a long haired handsome tuxedo cat that likes chasing ribbon and exploring the outdoors and winding in between your legs. 🐾Appleton is an energetic kitten who just loves to run full speed everywhere. He stops briefly to allow his adoptive Mum Venus to groom him. Venus prefers a slightly slower speed whilst still being playful. She likes to munch on the kitten food when she thinks you are not watching. 🐾Trinity and Tattiana who are sister Scottish Folds who love to climb on their cat shelves and trees.

Genna is wondeful catsitter - very thorough and professional, but also extremely kind and fun with cats. Our cats were totally at ease with her from the meet and greet and we felt they were in very safe hands with Genna.

Genna was so thorough and organised, and also super kind as we said goodbye to one of our cats before the scheduled visits, so she was exceptionally kind and sensitive about that. Hope to continue having Genna watch over our babies next time we need help.

Genna was absolutely exceptional-- she went above and beyond to make our cat feel safe and happy, as well as keeping our house safe. She is the only person our grumpy boy has ever immediately seemed to like! Totally trustworthy and really thorough, as well as being a proper cat whisperer. Five stars for Genna and we will be rebooking straight away.

Duchess and Luna had a great time with Genna. She is very responsible, has a professional attitude, and my cats loved her right away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. We’d be delighted to book with her again.
