I work from my home office. Your baby will not be crated (unless you request it) or left unsupervised. They will receive attention and have a buddy to keep them calm and occupied until you come to pick them up.

Safety, trust & environment

My sweet Wiggles is a 13.5# Shipoo with a happy, loving disposition. Wiggles is very adaptable and welcomes new visitors to her home with enthusiasm. She is very bright and has helped 2 puppies learn to potty outside with the big kids. She loves meeting new fur buddies. She is an energetic and gentle playmate. We only take one dog (or dog family) at a time so your fur baby(s) will receive our complete attention. We go for walks every 2 hours and have at least one adventure per day to the park or other doggie destination. We make our own food and treats and feed every 4 hours with unlimited low-cal treats. We have and expect good manners, but we also believe doggies should be SPOILED. We look forward to meeting and falling in love with your fur baby.

Information Gina C. would like to know about your pet

We welcome any small-medium dogs and have no breed preference. Wiggles is very adaptable and welcomes new visitors to her home with enthusiasm. We are open to drop-in day visits without a meet and greet. We will ask you and your baby to come over for a quick visit before extended stays.

A typical day

We have Yakkers & Bene Bones to soothe with. Wiggles is a relentless playmate and will keep your baby busy. We have tugs, stuffies, and bouncy balls. We take walks every 2 hours and at least one long adventure per day.

Pet care experience

I have been a volunteer pet sitter for many years helping friends and neighbors. Dogs sense my spirit and respond in kind. I am a hands-on, loving caregiver and my fur baby Wiggles is a generous host who loves to share. If your baby has special needs, we will accommodate seniors, or puppies that need more frequent potty breaks. Our home is very clean. Wiggles has regular vet care and is healthy and vibrant.

If you have the good fortune to meet Gina and allow her to care for your pet in any capacity, you and your pet will both be blessed. Your pet will always be diligently safeguarded and provided all the care you specifically need and expect. Gina is an obviously passionate animal lover with a gift for comforting and entertaining your pet in a way that will make them happy to see her as they become friends.

I honestly don't believe I could dream up a more loving, patient, and trustworthy caregiver for any of my fur babies than Gina! She creates a safe space that's welcoming and puts you at ease, plus she offers plenty of play time and affection. If you can't have your pet with you, "Aunt Gina's" is the next best place there is!

Gina is such a caring, loving and loyal pet owner. She's proven herself very trustworthy while taking care of my dog & I'm positive she'll be a loving caregiver to other pets!
