Pet care experience
I have a deep-rooted connection with pets that dates back to my childhood, growing up in a household filled with dogs. This bond has continued to thrive throughout my adolescence and into adulthood. I find immense joy and fulfillment in caring for animals, which has led me to embark on a journey as a pet sitter. My journey into pet sitting began when a close friend entrusted me with the care of their beloved Rottweiler, who faced the unique challenge of being nearly blind and requiring daily medication. While the dog was sweet and well-trained, his specific needs made it a challenge for my friend to find someone who could provide the level of care and attention he deserved during their absence. It was during this experience that I realized the profound satisfaction of ensuring these wonderful animals received the care they needed and providing their owners with peace of mind. I've also had the privilege of pet sitting for a cat with a protective nature and dietary restrictions. In each case, I've taken great pride in tailoring my care to the individual needs and preferences of the pets, ensuring they felt safe and comfortable in their own environment.
Reviews
Genelle consistently exceeds our expectations when it comes to taking care of our dog. Her attention to detail ensures that our furry friend is not only well-cared for but also genuinely happy in her care. Additionally, returning home to a spotless house is an added bonus that truly reflects her dedication to providing top-notch service.
Genelle stayed at our home with our two dogs and was phenomenal. We received multiple updates and photos each day and she was always quick to respond to us. She left our home clean and tidy. Thank you for taking such great care of Cleo & Sage!
Genelle cared for my dog so well. She communicated daily with updates and pictures. I came home to a happy dog and very clean house! I will request her again.
Once again Genelle loves my Rosco he recognized her when she came to pick him up and I wasn’t home . Will always try to book Genelle first .

Information Genelle C. would like to know about your pet
Each pet has a unique combination of personality, habits, and needs. As a general rule I avoid people and other dogs on walks but I would appreciate knowing if there is an triggers for reactive behavior. I am comfortable giving most pets medication and or feeding or watering them and I d appreciate any information on their normal schedule or specific needs. I would like to know if your pet has a habit of escaping or running away so that I can take any precautions necessary to keep them safe. Training and behavior: I’m considerate of dog's past training and behavioral work. As well as any potential challenges you may face in training and socializing your pet. Please inform me of any training or socialization goals you have in mind. If your pet needs shoes or clothing for walks or time outside I’d be happy to prepare them for the weather if you let me know a head of time.
A typical day
One of my favorite activities throughout the day is engaging with dogs through training exercises. Whether it's teaching simple commands like sitting for their food or leash readiness or guiding them to relieve themselves in designated areas when prompted, I believe that ongoing training and communication are essential. This socialization not only introduces structure into their lives but also helps them develop positive behavior patterns. I've observed that dogs who experience this kind of interaction tend to enjoy routines, display better manners in various situations, and often exhibit greater self-assurance and reduced reactivity. This sense of familiarity contributes to their overall well-being.
