Information Gene & Melina M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how active your dog usually is. I like to make sure my own dog gets plenty of exercise, but I understand if you would prefer a more relaxing stay for your dog.

A typical day

We have a trail among the redwoods right outside our house. I walk my own dog there at least twice a day. We also have a slow-flowing creek we like to hike to.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs and cats for years. I have a medium-sized dog that loves to make friends and a cat that keeps to herself. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make you and your pets vacation amazing! I'm working from home with a very flexible schedule. I'm excited to take your dog on hikes (short or long depending on how active they are) on the trail in the redwoods right outside my house. I have an older dog that loves to make friends and will keep your dog company. I also have a shy cat that does her own thing and stays out of the way.

Gene was communicative and sent pictures while letting me know that my dog was getting along fine for his first time with him. I have a working dog and he was aware of the higher exercise needs and handled everything great! His dog is also super sweet and I was grateful that our pups got along. Highly recommend!

Gene did a great job with Ruby. Took her on a walk. She was comfortable and happy when I picked her up.

Gene is great. He communicates how my dog is doing, takes her on daily adventure walks, and is very responsive. I know my dog will get great care with Gene.
