Dogs are Family

Pet care experience

I Live in a House with a Yard. A lifelong animal lover since childhood. I started volunteering with local rescues since I was 9 years of age. Have had family pets throughout My entire Life, primarily Man's Best Friend/ Dogs. Most of our Family Dogs were adopted from shelters. I live in a 4 bedroom 2 story house with a fenced yard where the dogs can run free fulfilling the dogs natural needs. I am also 2 Blocks away from the Beach and a park. We will train, exercise, and have fun every day. Anything to offer the Best for Your Dog! I also use positive reinforcement. I have worked with dogs for over 25 years. Due to the pandemic we are NO longer hosting ‘meet & Greet’ I work from Home. My Business is caring for your Fur Babies in our Family Home. Pet care is My Job. I am available for the Cats & Dogs in My care 24 hours a Day. I have a Fenced yard. I take the Dogs on walks. The Dogs have access to our Backyard throughout the Day.

Throughout the stay, the communication hasn’t been smooth. It often takes hours to get a reply from the sitter and have to request multiple times for photos to check in on our dog situation (not as what Gina promised to proactively keeping us updated). We also explicitly told her that our dog didn’t need to wear harness and leash at sitter's home, but our dog was always in her harness with a leash in every single photo we received (even after we told her not to). Lastly my dog lost almost 2 pounds in a week and that means our dog did not have good appetite or not in a good mood for food. We visited vet before dropping her so it’s not too hard to figure out how much she lost on her weight. We have been using Rover for a long time, occasionally there were issues with mismatching between the sitter and our dog. But, I have never seen anything like this before. Gina is a very good sitter per the ratings but it might not be a good fit if you are looking for someone who is a very punching, responsible sitter.

Gina was great! I think Waffles had an excellent time with Gina while we were away for the day. We will definitely use her services again.

Information Gina B. would like to know about your pet

ALL Dogs and Cats should have Flea treatment. I have sat for many different types and sizes of Dogs. Yorkies, Chihuahua's, German Shepards and Collies. We have had some real characters visit our home and we Love each one with their own personality. Some are friendly and some are needy and we've had some Puppies as well as seniors and we treat them all with Love and kindness and that is how they respond.

A typical day

Depending on what your dogs specific needs and Joys are. Your neighborhood, Park, Dog park, Beach or local hiking trail. If your Dog prefers to Lay around (some do) that’s fine too.
