Pet's dream: golden retriever human

Pets run to me/follow me around. Find out why! As a former marine research scientist, pet magazine merchandiser, and passionate "student of life," I deeply value all animals of all "walks" the best I have learned how to. No pet would be uncared for or "left behind" no matter their needs. I've owned kittens who cuddle with me, cats who use outside bathrooms, dogs of various breeds and sizes, fish who swim in healthy waters, and before Rover I have house sat for pet owners with 5+ pets including rabbits. Even been hired to manage feeding and maintaining livestock (chickens, cows etc) since a middle school age. G Ventura is on a mission to show patient tenderness to all animals of all species. Under my watch I strive to maximize your pets happiness and well-being with attentive care in a physical and emotional sense. They are a precious priority, therefore I strive to be the type of person I would leave pets with.

Safety, trust & environment

Your standard is my standard. Teach me about your pets needs and what you know about the precious "child," and I'll perform at my measured best. Attentiveness is key. Routine and consistency is important! With an awareness of the vastness of unique temperaments, I am in tandem with the virtues of deep patience. I spiritually commit to the values of honesty and responsibility within my human limitations. I respect your space and your boundaries concerning your space. Note that I do know (and have performed) some basic animal first-aid. Paired with outdoor survival training, I have my CPR/first-aid certification for humans, but from YouTube academy my education for pets can only go so far: I don't currently have a certification for animal first-aid.

G is amazing!!! She is very thorough and involved with the care and training of my dog asking thoughtful questions on updates. She is intuitive to the needs of my dog and genuinely cares about her interactions with him.

Second booking with G and she was as great as ever. My cat is so comfortable with G and it helps me to relax and enjoy my vacation because I don’t have to worry about my fur baby! Will continue to book!

Genevieve was very communicative and friendly. The cats seemed to be comfortable around them — approaching them when they entered the house, responding to play time, eating all their food. Genevieve also brought in the mail, garbage bins, and they left the house tidy. I would use their services again.

With no human children or animal children of my own at the moment, I presently have ample space for yours. A passionate pet lover is a few clicks away. NEWER TO ROVER?: if your pet is simply "needing to be let outside," played with, or have their litter maintained then book a drop-in visit! If you walk your pet around the neighborhood so they can relieve themselves, please book a walk. Thank you!

Any needs your pet has I enjoy having in some form of writing. If your pet needs more exercise, timely medication, emotional availability, significant play time, or even a home cooked meal prepared with my knowledge of kitchen industry standards, I am the listening, present, and deeply willing.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
