Your pet’s new best buddy!
Pet care experience
I used to pet sit for my best friend and her mother for a good 6 years. She had about 5 pets at one point so I was always there to help her. I also work as a kennel tech/dog trainer at a Dog Day Care near me.
Reviews
I always worked as the owner of the Great Lakes mobile marine services. I travel a lot and do not have time to search for a sitter for my dog Tony. One of my family friends introduced us, and Gina was telling me about how she loves dogs, and how she is very passionate about animal care work. I figured I should ask her if she would mind dog sitting my dog weekly, since I leave so early and don’t get home til 1 am. She accepted, and with a little trust she became my sitter. I didn’t have to search everywhere, since she was a family friend. She is excellent and my dog loves her! I wouldn’t pick anyone else to watch my dog when I have Gina.
About Gina F.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a backyard for my dog, and a leash tied to something we screwed into the grass, therefore preventing him from escaping if we needed to leave him out there for a little bit to go potty. He has plenty of dog safe toys as well as a nice bed. Luka eats twice a day, about half a cup of food each time. I always make sure to refill his cold water bowl for him at least twice a day, and for my orange cat Butterscotch, who also drinks out of it. I make sure Luka uses the potty as soon as I wake up, I will get him on an early schedule to further learn his potty training. We keep all door locked at night, plus he is an amazing watchdog. I take him on walks regularly because he is very high energy. He is very food motivated, so I love working with him, and teaching him new things.
Information Gina F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet is socially awkward or shy, so I know not to approach them too head on, and to give them their space. Thank you!
A typical day
If the weather is nice we can go on a nice refreshing walk. If not, we can play with toys inside, and snuggle. They will be cared for and loved! Whatever your pet enjoys, I can try my best to provide that for them.
