Experienced. Caring. Honest. ALWAYS

Pet care experience

Welcome to my page! I would like to introduce myself. I have been running a pet sitting business in NJ for the last 15 years. My years in the business have brought much experience, a 300 client base and many clients who have become friends. I am opening my business here with the hopes that I can have the same trusting and professional business. I can supply many current recommendations. I have been caring for dogs all of my life. I have always lived with animals and can’t imagine my home without a canine family member or two. I have a passion for what I do and take my responsibility to you and your pet VERY seriously. Caring for your pet affords me the great opportunity to learn all about your special canine family member so I can quickly recognize his/her needs and personality. Each animal I care for has their own unique behavior, disposition, and temperament. I believe that really getting to know your pup while working with you can give us all an opportunity to develop a loving and long-standing relationship. I am fortunate to have many FANTASTIC canine AND human clients. Many have become great friends! My family is instrumental in the care and company of my guest dogs. My daughter (Becca) is a graduate of The University of Pennsylvania and is currently a VMD in Emergency Veterinarian Medicine. She has been so great with all our guest dogs and has worked with many of my clients (both boarding and walking). Many of my clients really appreciate being able to talk to her and have received guidance and comfort. My home is what I consider a “safe haven” for all the dogs as we have taken ANY and ALL precautions to ensure your pet is in a safe and protected environment while still being able to live in our home exactly as he/she lives in yours. This is very important to me. We have a large, fully enclosed yard where the pups go to romp and play. They are never unsupervised when outside. All animals are fed separately to avoid any “food aggression” issues and medications are given on time and exactly as instructed. Many of my regular, repeat clients consider this a second home and are happy to come to a place where they are comfortable and happy. I’m always thrilled to have them back! My baby, Brayden is a rescue and we have been together for 4 years now. He is truly a "dog's dog" and is perfect for business. He lives and breathes to play with other pups and in all the time I've had him, he has never shown any aggression. He is truly a sweet, playful, lovable pup. I am also privately fully insured for my private business. This is not homeowners insurance or the Rover guarantee, it is complete coverage for all the pups in my care which I purchase on my own. This adds an extra layer of protection for my special canine guests. Please consider reading my many reviews to get to know what other owners think of my service. As I also run a private business, I can share many more current reviews which may help with your decision. Whether you choose me or another sitter (walker), your pup’s well-being and happiness is the most important factor to me! I hope to hear from you soon!! Gina Please note: Meet and Greets are required for all new clients. I believe that there's no better way to get to know each other and to discuss the unique personality and needs of your pup. ****All guest dogs must be fully housebroken. ****For the safety of all involved, I cannot host aggressive dogs. I am happy to discuss either by phone or meet and greet. This better affords potential clients the ability to know how my business is run. It's the best way to get to know each other and your pup!

Before I start, I am the guy that is completely paranoid about ANYONE other than me taking care of my dog! My dog is my child, period. That being said, I had to find someone to walk my dog now fairly regularly due to relationship change. I looked through Rover and found Gina M. All I can say is that she is awesome! Frankie instantly felt comfortable with her and she was great with him. He is a rescue and has had a rough go, so I was very nervous, to say the least. Gina put me completely at ease! She will be my dog walker and possible border from now on. I also told a few of my neighbors about her. Very Highly recommended!!

Our 5 year old Boston Terrier named Darby had a wonderful stay with Gina while we were on vacation! It was our first time using Rover but Gina provided such a positive experience. From the meet and greet to the daily updates with pictures, we felt very comfortable that Darby was enjoying her 5 night stay with Gina and her other K9 friends. When we picked up Darby, Gina even provided a report card and goody bag full of treats. We highly recommend Gina and would definitely choose her again!

Gina was so wonderful with my pups! My second dog joined our family in February and he has dealt with pretty severe separation anxiety which has put a complete stop to any travel I would have done in the past couple of months. I knew I needed to find a dogsitter but I kept putting it off because I was nervous. As soon as I saw Gina's profile, before I had even met her, I knew that her home was a place my dogs would feel comfortable and safe. She is very conscientious and caring, and takes great care to give all the pups attention and love. For the first time, I left my dogs for the weekend not worrying at all about their care (I was only worried about how I would feel!) and that hasn't even been the case when leaving my pups with friends and family! I would highly recommend Gina as a dogsitter to anyone who is looking for a fun, safe place to leave their furry family members - and the goodie bags and report cards at the end of the stay are the perfect extra touch! :)
