It's Gonna Be A Pawty Everyday!

Pet care experience

I have two fur babies of my own that are Golden mixes and siblings. Elvis is the more active scaredy cat if you will while Priscilla loves to swim but is a huge couch potato otherwise. I also have grown up around dogs and collectively within my immediate family we own 11 dogs total of all shapes and sizes! Don't worry, they don't all live together, but they do go on play dates. That being said, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and playtime as well as delivering medicine your pup may need. In addition, I am comfortable with watching a dog who may have separation anxiety and need full time supervision. Other animals I have taken care of are rabbits, hamsters, and fish. Being a fur mama myself, I know it can be nerve-wracking trusting someone with your baby, however, I will love your fur baby like my own! No need to ask about cuddles, belly rubs, and playtime, those are complimentary!

Gina was absolutely perfect with my dog. She was kind and patient and my dog very quickly attached herself to Gina. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for.

Ive used Gina a few months back for my puppies. I dont know her personally but now feel she is part of the family because my 2 puppies needed someone to watch them during a destination wedding. I couldnt get family to watch them as they were also travelling with us. One of my 2 puppies is 16 and has cancer and needs meds evey 2 days. Gina not only took care of our home she went on and beyond as she stayed for hours twice a day taking great care of our home and puppies. She is a God send and she is extremely responsible. My 2 dogs are cautious of people and within 2 days opened up to her kind heart. I couldnt of wished for a better person and will never use another dog walker again!

During the many years that I’ve known Gina, I’ve always found her to be a very loving and responsive pet caretaker. She is always quick to respond to questions and there is no doubt in my mind that she will give all the love and attention possible to every fur baby she meets. As an owner of many animals, I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with providing good care, but I have no difficulty trusting Gina with the task. I would highly recommend her services.

I like to make sure I follow the pet's routine and I make sure to give them extra love as I am sure they miss their parents! For dog walking, I will ask you about your pet's favorite walking path or generally what they like to do on walks. For dog sitting, lots of playtime will occur!

Information Gina D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or special routines and I will try my best to accommodate them. I would also like to know if there are other animals in the home such as cats. I am allergic to cats, so it is important for me to know upfront before booking.
