Happy paws fur one and fur all!

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals all my life. We had lots of pets growing up and I have always been the designated pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors (and love every minute of it!) Most of my free time is spent taking care of, loving, and thinking about pets! In addition to playing with, walking, feeding, training, and bathing pets, I have also cared for sick and elderly animals so am very comfortable administering medication if needed.

Gina goes above and beyond! She takes great care of my cat and I feel at ease when she’s scheduled for drop-in visits. Gina is a wonderful sitter.

Gina continues to put us at ease when we leave town. She updates us on when she will arrive, takes plenty of photos, and leaves detailed summaries. Our cat also loves and trusts her. Cannot recommend enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to walk and care for dogs of all sizes with different levels of training. I also have experience working with slow to warm cats. I am very patient so I will take all the necessary time and energy to gain your baby’s trust. I know how important it is to have trustworthy and dedicated people caring for your pet and I promise to care for your fur baby as if they were my very own. I can’t wait to meet them!

Information Gina F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any potential triggers that I need to be aware of. I want to make sure that your baby has the best experience possible. Any additional information is greatly welcomed!

A typical day

I always let the dogs that I walk choose the direction that they’d like to go (making sure that they stay safe, of course!) I want to make sure that they really enjoy their walks and are stimulated throughout. I am very adamant about not pulling a dog unless absolutely necessary (for safety reasons) I use positive reinforcement for training purposes and to make sure that your fur baby and I build trust and are in sync during the walk
