Will Treat Your Dog Like Family

Pet care experience

** I am fully vaccinated and follow the CDC guidelines on health and safety ** I have looked after various sized animals all my life. Animals love me, and I love them just as much. I'll give your pet the exercise they need, the attention they love, and the healthy environment you'll appreciate. I'm excellent at following directions, and always give updates to my clients. Our pets are a part of our families. So I will treat yours with the love and respect they deserve. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to talk to you about my services. Give my services a shot, and you'll be glad you did. It is a tail wagging experience.

Gina did a great job house-sitting and dog-sitting for us. We were gone for over a week. Gina did everything we asked, including taking the dogs for daily walks. She also watered the potted outdoor plants, brought in the mail, and generally took good care of the house. She sent daily updates that included pictures of the dogs. We were over 9,000 miles from home, but we could relax knowing the dogs were safe and happy.

Gina was as reliable as expected. We can leave our fur babies in her care without worry.

Gina did a great job watching Sawyer while we were gone! Took him on walks, left the house in great shape and communicated with us so we knew he was in good hands. ?

Safety, trust & environment

I am always extra careful when looking after your pet. I make sure they are never off leash when outside. I am very respectful of my client's home. I have a closed door policy, in which if you close the door to a room you do not want me in, I will never open that door. I clean up after myself. I wash dishes, put things away, and clean up after your pet as well. Your home will be just as you left it. I bring my own food when staying over a home, as well as my own pillows.

Information Gina M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet's temperament and if there is anything they dislike that would affect their behavior. I like to know if your pet is allergic to anything, or requires any special needs, medication, or treatment. Anything you think is important to know, I will be happy to listen to and take notes on. I set up a meet and greet before hand so you can meet me and I can meet your dog. This is to ensure the comfort of your pet before the actual visit.

A typical day

Any specific activities you ask me to perform with your pet, I will be happy to do. Dogs will enjoy a nice walk, some snuggle time, or some time to themselves. Are they more of a loner dog? Don't worry, I will respect their boundaries. If they're an attention loving dog, they will be sure to get lots of hugs and pets and scratches. I always adjust my care based on the dog's need and personality. If I'm looking after your cat, I'll be sure to base their care on their specific needs. We can play, snuggle, or just check in on them here and there. As with all types of pets, I'll be sure to follow your routine and schedule to make sure they're comfortable. Anything your special family member needs, I am happy to provide. Your rules are my rules. If there are any boundaries your pet has, I will be sure to enforce them. Are they not allowed on the couch? No problem. Do they sleep in bed with you each night? They will with me as well. Your pet will not pick up any bad habits from me, and I'll make sure not to disturb their environment or schedule so they are not stressed out.
