Therapy dog handler now pet sitting

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Gina B and I love pets as well as people. I’ve shared my life with all kinds of pets over the years, I’ve always included in my family loving animal companions from rabbits to Guinea pigs, an Umbrella Cockatoo, a canary, & beautiful exotic fish. We had a lovely Ragdoll cat who died at 15. I embarked on a very special project 12 years ago. As a principal, I worked with my school board & superintendent to plan & prepare for a reading buddy & school pet reward system. I purchased two labradoodle puppies from a proven Colorado breeder for dogs for the blind. My puppies were perfect for the job. We trained together earning various certifications and awards including AKC Canine Good Citizen., & Reading Buddy certification. All of this being said, I want you to know my commitment to your pets, as I have experienced the profound difference pets make in everyones lives. As an educator, I believed in pet therapy so much that I made it happen at my school. Now that I’m retired, I am committed to helping you & your pet have a fantastic life. I will always go the extra mile for you. I promise to love & care for your pet. I know the awesome responsibility you entrust to your pet caregiver. I will work hard to give you the peace of mind & confidence that your precious pet is important to me & well cared for.

Miss Gina is wonderful! She was attentive to my dog; she sent me amazing updates and photos through the day of what her and my dog were doing, I never had a worry. My dog was exercised and loved on. I’ll definitely call on her again!

Gina was wonderful and went above and beyond! She made sure that I did not have to worry about my fur babies during my wedding weekend. I have a anxious/shy dog and Gina was so kind and patient with him. I could not recommend Gina more then I already do!
