Safety, trust & environment

I respect the unique rhythm of every animal and I follow instructions to a T. Whether it's sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is gentle, adaptable, and entertaining; something animals tend to trust quickly. I have 6 dogs who are in a sectioned off part of the house and I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood to take pets outside on walks. I don't have a fence but I am extremely careful about it. I am able to handle animals three times my weight and I have never and would never let anything happen to your precious pet! I take pride in having a safe space for all animals in my care!

Information Gina D. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing for me to know ahead of time is if your pet has any allergies or if there is stuff you don't allow your pet to do/eat (for example if you don't allow your pet to jump on furniture, or if there is a specific brand of dog food or treats you don't want your pet having) I'd love to know!

A typical day

I have a bunch of toys that me and your pet can play with, as well as a beautiful neighborhood that I can take them on a walk in.

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Gina! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. l've spent my entire life taking care of animals of all types and personalities. Along with 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, I've also cared for exotic pets of all types and sizes from Reptiles, mice, birds and more, to large farm animals 200+ pounds. I've cared for animals of all ages throughout my life, from kittens and puppies, to seniors who need more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when I need to, I know how to make animals feel at home in my space when their person isn't with them. My energy level is adaptable to the energy I get from your pet. Whether your animal wants a peaceful space or a fun getaway I can provide that. What sets me apart is the way I energetically connect with animals. Animals have been drawn to me since I was little. I study animal behavior on the side so I'm able to notice shifts in behavior easily. I am also experienced in training animals and I'm on the path to become a certified trainer.

Gina was fantastic and my boy had so much fun he didn’t want to leave. He snoozed as soon as we got home though.

Very nice and very sweet! My dogs are pretty anxious but they were more than fine with her! Heard they got a lot of cuddles and play time which shows with how tired they are at home! Appreciate how much my dogs were loved !
