Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet lover and MFA student
I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether my own family's pets or friends, coworkers, and neighbors'. From puppies to seniors, I have always been dedicated to pet's comfort, safety, and joy, as well as open communication with pet parents about their babies while they're away. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, helping them take medication or move around despite mobility difficulties, and know that even if they can't get up and play as much as they used to, they still need as much love and attention as their younger counterparts.

Safety, trust & environment
When staying at a client's home, I am happy to provide play, care, and cuddles to the pets I am watching. Whether they need crating, medication, extra mobility help or just a little extra patience while they get used to a new person, I have lots of experience with pets of all ages, shapes, sizes and personalities.
Ratings and reviews
Genna is an extremely caring and knowledgeable pet owner and advocate. Attentive to the needs of the pets and communicative with the owners. She knows animal health issues and is able to navigate challenging situations with confidence. Genna has continuously been around dogs and cats and is comfortable tending to their individual needs. An owner should have total confidence when leaving their pet in her care.
Genevieve has cared for many of my pets over the years, my two current cats love and trust her so much and that is rare for them with people outside my partner and I. Genna is a true lover of animals, having grown up around many animals in her family (including rodents, birds, cats, fish, and large and small breed dogs - phew!). She is always prompt, kind, and thorough with pet care even if there is medication to be administered, senior animals with extensive needs, or reactive/anxious animals in the home. Before my extremely anxious beagle and lab passed, Genna was my go-to dog and house sitter anytime my family and I went away for a day or a couple weeks. I knew that the dogs were safe and loved with Genna and that - despite their anxieties and tendencies to pee when anxious or howl - she could calm them down, give them their meds, and handle the added pressure with grace and go the extra mile. Genna is a great pick for pet care!
Genna has been my go to pet sitter for several years! She is responsible and responsive, and best of all my cats love her. When she pet sits for just a couple days we'll often do drops ins and she spends good time there playing with and loving on the cats so I know they are getting the attention they need. She has also stayed over in my home with my cats for longer trips and I feel so comfortable knowing my home and my cats are in her care while I am away. Plus as a bonus, she sends so many pictures and videos so I can see them while I'm gone :)
Genna is a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter who won over my skittish former-street cat when she first watched my cats three years ago. She’s since cat-sat for me for two multi-week vacations and many short trips, and is my favorite cat/house-sitter. She played with and loved on my kitties every day, and was able to troubleshoot a few stressful vet and neighbor situations while I was gone. In addition to taking excellent care of my cats, plants and house, Genna was very responsive over text and sent tons of cat photos (which were insanely high quality bc of her art background). Can’t recommend her enough!
