Tired pup = good pup! Home F/T
Pet care experience
I have trained and taken care of dogs and horses for most of my life. I do this because its a passion of mine and I really enjoy dogs. I treat every dog as part of our family and my goal is for your pup to feel a 100% at home in my care. Currently, I work from home and available to take a frequent play and potty breaks. The pups love to play and hang out in my office until it break time. Every hour or so, we head outside for some ball time, chase time or some good rubs. (I avoid the hottest part of the day and I plan my online meeting from 1 to 3 pm). My philosophy is: “A tired pup is a good pup!” Your pup gets to come and play with our newfoundland and other pup friends in a safe home environment with a yard. You can come home at the end of a long work day or vacation to a tired content dog that is ready for some snuggle time with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. Thanks, Gina & Nova Frequent Questions & Information: Feeding: I feed 2-3x a day depending on your pups schedule. I separate all dogs during feeding time for safety reason. I only feed the dogs what you bring for them. Our own dog has food allergies. Fence Yard & Safety: Our home is puppy proofed with multiple doors inside to help prevent access to the outside world. I also have a secured fenced yard with double gates for the same reason. Safety is number one and we believe in being proactive. Clean Up: We clean up after every dog as they go to the bathroom to help keep the outdoor dog area clean as possible. Our family specialize in water loving Newfoundland and other heat sensitive breeds: We keep our house on the cooler side with a/c units and fans. Newfoundlands are know for being hot. Your welcome to bring a sweater for any pups that get cold. Flea Management: We request all dogs be on flea medication. No one truly enjoys living with fleas and we don't want to send your pup home with them. Additional Items Provided: I provide extra sterile food and water bowls along with dog beds, extra large & giant kennels to make life a little easier for you. Booking Information: 1) I personally offer discounts to my repeat clients. 2) We limit the number of dogs to keep everyone feeling loved and safe in our home. We believe in providing quality over quantity. Our currently only allowing one family at a time however we will have dates that will overlap by a few hours. 3) We don't do drop off/pick up's on major holidays (July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Years Eve) to allow us to enjoy our family time as well.
Reviews
Sammy and Smokey loved staying with Gina and she was great about communicating with texts and photos during our entire vacation!
The dogs had a fantastic time! Came home happy and we felt very comfortable throughout the entire experience. Thank you Gina!
Gina is very professional and her home is clean. She let me know everything about my dog’s stay at our meet & greet and answered all of my questions. My dog is oversized and neither Gina nor her sweet Nova were intimidated. I am so grateful that they were both available to keep my Kilo company over the holiday. GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Leaving our Pomeranian, Bosco with Gina was an absolute positive experience! We could relax knowing he was being given extra attention in a new situation. Bosco is not often left alone and is very attached to us. Gina got to know what he was accustomed to and tried to make his stay as close to that as possible. Receiving photis and updates eased our minds and we felt completely confident our little guy was in good hands.
About Gina D.
Communication
Skills
Information Gina D. would like to know about your pet
I love to know about your puppy personality? His/Her likes and dislikes? Is he human or dog focused? If your pup has any food sensitivities to certain foods? Are they sensitive to heat or cold? Do I need to watch out for a temperment sensitivity or a medical condition? Is your dog crate trained? Where do you prefer your dog sleep? We believe in being proactive and enjoy reforcing their training while they are here.
A typical day
I love heading to the coast to take my walks. We also spend a large amount of time in the backyard; playing chase, tossing the ball, belly rubs and focus on training.
