Peace & Assurance When Away
Pet care experience
I will travel to a long distance sit if the sit lasts at least two weeks. I am open to any location! My last ownership of pets was my four fur baby cats Tiger, Mama, Bingo, and Brownie. I rescued 3 of them off the street and got one from the city shelter. They were with me for many years and one lived til 19 years old. Two had kidney failure and I treated them with subcutaneous fluids for several years before they crossed over. I had a dog Gypsy in high school and college who had epilepsy. I gave her meds and she will always live in my heart! I have rescued dogs and cats and have either gotten them into a permanent home or no-kill animal shelter. I have cared for pets in my home by bringing cats who need extra care home from the animal shelter to help them heal and then returning them. I have helped stray cats and dogs in the street and the city shelter. I do my best to put them in a no-kill animal shelter. Now, I also have several pet sits under my belt and have enjoyed every pet! I have cared for cats, dogs, pigs, and geckos. I treat a pet as if it is my own when I care for it. Thus, I go the extra mile if I see or think of something that will make him or her happy and do it with it's parents permission.
Reviews
I have known Gina almost two years now. I find her to be very kind and caring, and helpful to those around her. I would feel very comfortable leaving her with my two kitties in my home anytime I am out of town. She will love on your pets like you do! That is the highest praise I can give her! Take your trip and don't worry, Gina's got this for you!
Gina loves pets of all sorts, and is very responsible about caring for them while their owners are away on vacation, etc. Gina has had experience caring for her own elderly cats that had kidney problems, and she likely extended their lives by treating their conditions well. Gina will take good care of your precious pets while you are away from home, so there's no need to add worrying about them to your trip to do list.
Gina has had her own pets, and I have seen how lovingly she cared for them. I have watched her give her cats at home medical care while she was recovering from surgery herself. I would not hesitate to have her care for my pets if I needed someone. I am sure that she is responsible and will keep to whatever walking or feeding etc. routine is needed for someone's pets.

I follow the pet owner's instructions on caring for his/her four legged loved one. I also ask them to write them down in case I need to refer back to them.
Information Gina M. would like to know about your pet
Are there any health issues or other things I should be aware of. I have taken care of cats with kidney failure and am okay sitting with cats that need extra attention.
A typical day
I pet, brush, talk to, and play with the pets. I play with whatever toys they have and may buy some for the pets to play with.

Availability
I am retired so I am available anytime, and I currently have no pets of my own. My schedule is open for pet care always. I live as a nomad so I can travel for a long distance sit as long as it is at least 2 weeks long. I am okay with doing a sit that lasts two months.
