Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover, artist, and writer
While new to Rover, I've I've been pet sitting and caring for my own pets since I was ten. Growing up in California, I rode horses and spent a lot of time on ranches and farms. My family always had big dogs: currently, they have a wildly smart and energetic Australian Shepherd, Ginger, and when I was a little kid, we had an Alaskan Malamute. Here in New York, I live with two very mellow cats who I adore, and I find taking care of other people's dogs (and cats!) to be the perfect solution to not having the space for more pets of my own. I am very comfortable around all kinds of animals...I've cared for and owned not only dogs and cats, but also horses, rabbits, ducks, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, mice, fish...and there are definitely a few more species I am forgetting. Because I work remotely and part-time, I have lots of time dedicate to playing, cuddling, potty breaks, and walks, as well as any kind of special monitoring or additional care your pet may require. I have experience walking difficult dogs, socializing with timid cats, and administering medication! Whatever their needs and disposition, your pet will be in great hands with me :)

Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to the pets I care for. I’m familiar with many personality types and can adjust my approach to fit your pet! With dogs, I love a nice walk followed by playtime and some relaxing together once they're tired out. I can only offer housesitting in your home (rather than boarding in my home) out of respect for the very particular cats living in my home.
Ratings and reviews
Genevieve was a fantastic cat sitter. Besides being professional and accommodating—she took my booking on extremely short notice when an urgent out-of-town meeting came up—she was remarkably attentive. I received wonderful photos of my cat, Misha, as well as detailed updates on his eating and behavior. She made me feel confident that he was well cared for. I would absolutely book Genevieve again for any pet of mine. She's a superb communicator with a real gift for connecting with animals.
Genevieve took excellent care of my rat Martha while I was hiking the Appalachian Trail. She was very diligent and made sure she understood all of Martha's needs. I received regular updates and photos which reassured me that Martha was receiving the attention she deserves. I am grateful to Genevieve for looking after my rat while I was away on my journey.
Genevieve’s care for our dogs has always been exceptional. She is uniquely responsive and kind, keeping us updated at all times while we are away from Bubbles and Capi. She is an outstanding dog sitter.
Genevieve has cared for our sweet but anxious dog frequently over the past few years here in NYC. She always makes sure to send us lots of photos of him--cuddled up on the couch, and enjoying his walks. She is great about making sure that our household needs are attended to as well: bringing in our mail, awaiting package deliveries, watering plants, etc. 100% recommend her to care for your pets & homes!

I work remotely handling bookstore and gallery operations in addition to maintaining my own practices. My work is very flexible, so I can easily structure my work around your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out to see if I am available :)
