Availability

Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Information Gina L. would like to know about your pet

To ensure every visit is smooth, safe, and enjoyable, I want to make sure your dog is a good match for my two pups, Shiloh and Zeus. Shiloh is a friendly Boxer/Lab mix who loves to play and make new friends. Zeus is a gentle, calm pup who enjoys a peaceful routine and relaxing company. Because their comfort and safety matter, I kindly ask: • No Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes (This is a personal safety preference to ensure the best environment for my dogs and yours.) • All visiting dogs must be fully potty trained • All visiting dogs must be crate trained (Crates are used only if it’s part of your dog’s regular routine or for safe downtime when needed.) These guidelines help create a calm, structured, and happy home environment where every dog can feel safe and comfortable during their stay..

A typical day

Our day starts with waking up, saying good morning, and giving lots of love and hugs. We head downstairs and take the dogs out one at a time for their morning potty break. Once everyone has stretched their legs, it’s time for breakfast and a refreshing morning walk. After our walk, we enjoy some indoor playtime—especially with Shiloh, who loves a good game of tug-of-war. And don’t worry if you forget your pup’s toys… Shiloh is always happy to share his favorites! In the afternoon, we settle into a calm, cozy routine. Zeus usually enjoys a nap with Snoopy Jazz in the background, while Shiloh likes to relax after play. Visiting pups can join in on the quiet time or get extra snuggles and attention. If your dog enjoys treats, we often offer a homemade pup-friendly snack or take a short outing for a pup cup. As the day winds down, we spend time relaxing, watching movies, or enjoying the backyard for one last round of play or a sunset potty break. We follow your dog’s usual evening routine—whether that means cuddles on the couch, a final walk, or settling into their bed or crate for the night. Every dog is treated with love, comfort, and consistency so they feel safe and right at home.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾

Gina is lifesaver! I have two very active dogs, one is a 17 month old standard golden doodle and the other is a 6 month old wheaten terrier. She took great care of them on two separate occasions. They were quite happy and tired at the end of the visit. You could tell they love being with Gina bec they were ready to run into her house when we arrived. I’m so glad we found her.

Gina did such a great job watching Marley and Kali. She was able to assist with helping us last minute and was very accommodating. She took daily pictures with our dogs, and texted us if she had any questions. She even let our dogs sleep in the room with her, and I can tell she took great care of them and treated them as her own. I never worried during our whole vacation, as I knew she was taking great care of them. She was again very accommodating with our delayed flight, in terms of pick up. She even had bathed both dogs, I haven't seen them this clean in a long time. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up, and I can tell they had a great time. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a great sitter, and will definitely be using her for our future trips.

First time leaving Cleo was hard on us and on Cleo herself but Gina took really good care of her, and went above and beyond to make sure Cleo is settled and comfortable at her home. So glad I found and chose Gina to take care of Cleo. Will definitely rebook with Gina whenever we board to Orlando again in the near future. Thank you Gina!

We really appreciate the service we got from Gina. She took the time to come and meet us before taking care of our Jack Russells. We also love that she was so patient with our dogs and took the time to understand the rest of our needs and requests for our fur-babies. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make sure their fur-babies are being well taken care of. Thank You So Much Gina!!
