Dog Walker
Originally from Rochester, New York (which is nowhere near NYC), Genevieve grew up alongside all kinds of four-legged furry friends, including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, and rats (her personal favorite). After graduating from the University at Buffalo with a BFA in Theatre, she spent many years performing onstage and backpacking around the world, where she found animals in need everywhere. She worked in international animal shelters and rescues, and now has a special place in her heart for Guatemalan street dogs. All of these experiences led her to her current life as an LA-based multi-hyphenate: actor-writer-dogwalker. She also loves riding horses, fostering homeless kittens, and eating as much pizza in one sitting as humanly possible. Genevieve is excited to meet your little fur babies, and her dog and two cats have promised not to get jealous of all the love and attention she’ll be giving them.
