Veterinary Nurse + WFH Partner Duo
Pet care experience
I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets since I can remember. I currently work in the oncology department of a large animal hospital and my equally animal-adoring partner Nick works from home. Our dynamic has worked well for extended stays at client’s homes where owners appreciate 24/7 care. I share my home with my goofy rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Fae, and my two cats—Baby, my beautiful but spicy failed foster, and Boo, my precious social recluse. With experience in multiple veterinary clinics and hospitals, I’m comfortable handling dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages, breeds, and medical conditions. I can administer medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, as well as respond to emergencies. I also offer nail trims, sanitary trims, and gland expressions as requested. I am proudly Fear-Free Certified, ensuring a low-stress experience for your pet. Nick has learned a lot by osmosis just living with me, but he’s also had pets of his own throughout his life. He will be the one playing endless rounds of fetch or bringing out the cat toys while I’m away! He’s a sucker for large and giant breeds.

Reviews
I have had a number of sitters over the years; however, Genevieve has raised the bar to heights I didn't even know were possible. She babysat our dogs for an ENTIRE month straight so I have a good feel. Where do I start? Her attention to detail is amazing, how incredibly perceptive she is about the smallest changes in mood, behavior or appetite, how she works on the fly to make sure that your pet is always feeling 100% comfortable, healthy and happy, the patience and going above and beyond to spend extra time with the dogs (taught mine how to sit, shake and high five), the constant pics and updates to make you feel at ease that all is well, the fact that she works in the veterinarian world, and one day will be a fantastic one herself. I have so much trust in her that if I still had a child that was young enough to be babysat, she would be who I would select. White glove all the way with Genevieve. Bravo!

So grateful to have Genevieve to look after my kitty. I recommend her highly!

Genevieve did a wonderful job caring for my super-senior kitty with medical needs. She is reliable and communicative, and I definitely hope to book her services again.


Genevieve was fantastic! Highly recommended. She was very sweet and took great care of our pups while we were away.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At your home I will adhere to what is normal for your pet and I can follow any rules and instructions you may have, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, play time and exercise, or just “hanging out” to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away.
Home
Information Genevieve R. would like to know about your pet
Tell me anything about your pets! What do they like and dislike? Are there special treats or toys they love? Is your pet sensitive to noises or being pet/touched in certain areas of their body? Any allergies or special requests? Remember that I am a vet nurse and know much more than your average pet sitter, so feel free to ask me anything! When house sitting, will your pet let me know when they need to go potty or should I set them to a schedule?
A typical day
Have a puppy? I would love to train them and get them exposed to new experiences! Play time is essential but learning can go hand in hand. Cats? I have lots of toys to play with your curious kitty and stimulating “Cat TV” I like to put on for the most curious or apprehensive of felines. Some pets just like the presence of a person around to sniff and say “hello” to while their favorite humans are away—I can do that too! I will tailor the experience to your pet, so if you have a senior cat or dog we will probably just take it easy and watch some dog or cat TV while I give them a good ear rub or simply let them snooze.

Availability
I currently work full time as a veterinary nurse in Red Bank (typically) Tuesday-Saturday from 8am-6pm, and getting this to reflect on my availability calendar is tricky, so if you don’t see a date you need me, just reach out and ask! I will be the primary caregiver unless an extended stay or doggy daycare situation is in place. Unless of course you’d prefer Nick over me (I won’t take it personally, he’s pretty cool).
