Blue Sky Pet Services was started in 2012 and is owned & operated by Genia Bathe.
Genia – Owner
Genia’s love of animals began at a very young age and has continued throughout her life. While raising four children, she has had tons of experience with family pets including dogs, cats, small rodents, parakeets, cockatiels, cockatoos, small snakes and other reptiles, fish, donkeys, llamas, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens and ducks.
Genia has been a foster parent for a local feline rescue organization. She has been a licensed wildlife rehabilitator with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, working closely with the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine.
While helping her children with the family pets, she realized how great it would be to have someone to help with the family pets when they went on vacation or were just gone for the weekend. That is when the dream of a pet sitting service began…
