Hi! I'm Gina, a 31-year-old animal lover based in Walmley, Sutton Coldfield. I’m happy to travel to look after your pets, no matter what furry (or scaly) friends you have! I’ve been on Rover for over four years and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats (from kitten to senior), fish, and even tortoise! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot, or a cat who thinks they run the show, I’ll give each pet the attention and care they need. I’ve also worked with anxious rescue dogs and retired police dogs, so I’m used to pets who have their own unique personalities. Plus, I’m comfortable giving medication and following any special dietary needs your pets may have. In July 2024, I lost my beloved Welsh Terrier, Gordon Bennett, after 15 wonderful years together. Gordon was a true Houdini escape artist—he loved to dig and find ways out of the garden. That’s why my current garden is fully fenced and secure, to keep any escape-prone pets safe while they play and explore. Since Gordon passed, it’s been really important for me to be around more pets—they bring me so much joy, and I truly miss having a furry friend in my life. I was lucky enough to move to Australia in September 2024, where I got to explore the East Coast before settling down in Brisbane. Even while living abroad, I kept up with my passion for pet care and continued pet sitting through MadPaws. I got the opportunity to look after an Australian Shepherd for a month and a half over Christmas and New Year 2024! After returning to Birmingham on January 15, 2025, I spent a bit of time settling back into life in the UK and looked after many dogs and cats before starting back at my previous role in Solihull in March, 2025. My schedule is flexible, with evenings, and weekends available to look after your pets. Easter 2025, I had the pleasure of caring for four dogs, two tortoises and two cats - so I’m comfortable with all types of pets. Whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m here to help make sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My radius is pretty wide, and I don’t mind staying in a new area if that makes your pet more comfortable! I’d love to know more about your pet’s favorite treats, toys, quirks, and any special care they might need. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re gone, and I’m happy to accommodate any needs they have. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet, feel free to reach out. I'm available on weekends and evenings for a no-pressure meet-and-greet, so we can chat and see if I'd be a good fit for your pet. Looking forward to hearing from you!
