I teach 3 minutes away from my home so I run home over lunch to let the dogs run around. Any dogs I care for just join in with my own two dogs. I love the opportunity for my dogs to socialize with others.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs and I love to be outside. We enjoy all the pets we’ve had visit our home…well the cats just watch us disapprovingly, but the dogs love them anyway! 😂 (One of my dogs is slow to warm up but eventually enjoys someone new to play with!) They all eat separately and can sleep in my bed or in their kennel based on what you prefer. My 18 year old son loves to help as well. 💙

Information Gina F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your pet does with eating food around other dogs, their favorite scratch spot, any fears they have (storms, etc.,) and how they prefer to sleep at night.

A typical day

We snuggle, play fetch, swim in the doggy pool, and roam in my fenced backyard 24/7. I have a lot of space for them to play and rest. If they know how to pull weeds, I’ll pay THEM. 🌱

Pet care experience

I will love your fur babies like my own. I grew up on a farm, have my own pets, and my daughter is a dog groomer. They will be in good hands.

Gina was attentive to my cats and was extremely flexible as my schedule changed. I plan on hiring Gina again for my next trip.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
