Best practices — getting home check visit done right
Know what good looks like before you book:
Set visit frequency to your time away and risk
Leave clear instructions and emergency contacts
Make the home look occupied (lights, mail)
Share who to call if something's wrong
Why it's worth it
Catch leaks, outages or break-ins early
A lived-in look deters intruders
Plants and mail handled
Real peace of mind while travelling
Book home check visit one-off or on a recurring schedule
Need home check visit just once? Book a single visit. Want it handled regularly? Set up a recurring schedule and it's taken care of automatically — no more remembering to re-book.
Pick your frequency — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, whatever suits your routine.
Choose your days & times — pick the exact day of the week and time slot from the in-app calendar; Genie schedules every visit for you.
Keep the same pro — request the pro you like for every visit, so they learn your home and preferences.
Set it once, then relax — each visit is booked automatically and you're reminded beforehand, with your payment held in escrow and released only after each one is done.
Full control, no lock-in — skip, reschedule, pause or cancel any visit anytime in the app. Recurring plans also unlock member savings.
Sign in and Genie matches you with the nearest top-rated, verified pro and shows your price before you book. On the day your pro checks in, completes the work to the agreed scope, and shares completion photos where it makes sense — then you review and approve.
How to prepare
Clear access to the work area so your pro can start right away

Secure pets and put away anything fragile or valuable (for in-home jobs)
Share photos and details up front for the most accurate price
