Safety, trust & environment

I have been caring for my own and other's pets for as long as I can remember! I work with several pets who do not respond well to other sitters; I believe this is because I have a great understanding of dog behaviors. I don't force myself on them but make them aware I am here for them, and work on building those relationships over time. I am allergic to long-haired cats, so I would be unable to provide services to those who have them in the home.

Information Genie J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: 1)Are they basic-trained that walk well OR do they pull excessively? What is their temperament? Age? Medication? Habits? Do they play well with people/other pets? What are your expectations? I would especially like to know the dos & don'ts and particulars about your dog's routine to make them more comfortable in your absence.

A typical day

I love to take walks around the neighborhood, look for local trails and dog parks, play catch or frisbee, tug-of-war, swim (with permission, where permissible), take rides in the car, and give frequent belly rubs.

Pet care experience

Hi :) I have been a dog owner my whole life, have always owned 1-2 dogs at a time, and have rescued & fostered several dogs throughout the years. I can provide home visits, walks/runs as well as overnights for days, weeks or a month at a time. I know how important it is for our pets to get exercise, play, and live a happy, healthy life and do my best to provide safety, comfort and TLC to all fur buddies. If your dog could talk, they would want you to have me over to play every day! Let's see if we're a good fit...

Genie did a great job taking care of Susa. She very kindly arrived earlier when we realized the concert started earlier then we had thought. We recommend Genie and will use her help again!

Genie is amazing! Super friendly, knowledgeable and understanding of dog behaviors. She took great care of our Loki, gave us frequent picture updates that comforted Loki’s human sister and was flexible with drop-off and pick up times. Best dog sitter ever!

Genie was great! Sent pictures and could tell spent a lot of time moving our puppy and playing with him. Will most assuredly use her in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
