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
My kitties love Genevieve! She’s great to work with. Highly rec
Genevieve was great! We would definitely have her watch our dog Bear again!
Geneveive was great with my dog Dolly! Dolly was having a flare up and having a tough time getting around, Genevieve was so helpful and supportive giving her extra care and medication. She left the apartment in great condition and with a happy pup! I would definitely hire her again for future dog sitting :)
My cats love Genevieve! They are always happy when she takes care of them! Highly rec.
I love Genevieve’s service. From the meet and greet, she was very friendly, efficient and flexible. My dog loves her too didn’t see Lollpop this happy with other dog sitters. Genevieve took my dog to long walks and shared cute pictures with me. She was nice enough to come a bit earlier and stayed a little longer than scheduled time. The home was left as it was, spotless clean. She was exceptional and will definitely hire again in the future.
Genevieve took great care of my shy cat. She sent detailed notes and plenty of photos to keep me updated of their visits.
