Experienced Dog Cuddler

Pet care experience

I have 10+ years of dog sitting/walking experience and have been a dog lover and owner all my life. No dog is too big or small, too young or old, too special or untrained - I love them all and have experience with them all. I especially have a soft spot for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and am very comfortable giving medication, following special diets, and doing whatever it takes to make your dog feel safe and happy. And while I love cuddling with my dogs on my couch and in bed, I'm happy to follow whatever training regimen you have in place for your dog. If your dog stays with me, I have a fenced-in backyard for playing, a pool for swimming, and a big park right across the street for having grand dog adventures. I'm home full-time and therefore am able to devote my time and attention to taking care of your pup. I'm also available to stay full-time with your dog(s) in your home - whatever is best for you and your dog! Additionally I'm available for drop-ins and daily walks.

Everything was great. We like Gena a lot and so does our dog. She goes above and beyond so I highly recommend her.

Gena treats our 2 dachshunds like they are her own. They are always happy to go there. It is like a vacation for them!

Gena was fantastic! I highly recommend using her. Five Star service! She took Bear to the dog park, beach and he was so happy in all his pics!

SO happy with Mindys stay with Gena, I really believe she treated her as her own while she took care of her for 9 nights. Gena sent me photos and videos of my pup while I was away in another country which made my time away worry free as it was clear Mindy was having a great time! Thanks so much x

Information Gena H. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences or restrictions but I do have three small dogs myself, so if your dog isn't crazy about other dogs I can keep them separated in the house and take them outside and for walks seperately.

A typical day

We'll play in the fenced-in backyard, swim in the pool, walk around the neighborhood, or go on field trips to Wickham Park or to the beach. Or if your dog prefers, he or she can lounge around all day, napping on pillows and getting scratches.
