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 took great care of my shy cat. She sent detailed notes and plenty of photos to keep me updated of their visits.
When my catsitting plans fell through and I was scrambling for help, Genevieve stepped in and took great care of my cat, Cashew! She communicated well and sent daily check-ins, and Cashew greeted me warmly when I got home. I highly recommend Genevieve to anyone who needs cat care.
Genevieve watched our dog Akhilles and cat Macambo for three days, and also stopped by to care for my girlfriend’s three cats. She handled everything reliably and kept us updated at a good pace. The pets were fed, cared for, and comfortable the whole time. Overall a solid job — we’d be happy to book her again.
Genevieve is fabulous. My super sensitive (and skeptical) kitties love her! Easy communication and altogether great experience. Highly rec.
Genevieve did a great job taking care of Carter & house sitting - she provided updates and was clear about any questions or concerns. She also was proactive at resolving any potential issues & cleaned things up.
So helpful, kind and keeps me in the loop about my pup. Would 10/10 recommend
