Safety, trust & environment

I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

Information Gina M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know how your dog approaches strangers (aka me) entering their house and any tips to quickly make them feel at ease! Also, please let me know how your dog is with other dogs or humans in case we interact with others on our outings.

A typical day

I love to greet dogs at the door and allow them to become comfortable with me upon arriving. Once we’ve become friends, I’ll be sure to read any directions left behind before going on an outing around the neighborhood for lots of fresh air and exercise. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your dog receives any specified treats or toys and of course extra pats!

Remote worker, dog lover 🐾

Pet care experience

My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away.

Gina is wonderful with my two pups during their mid-day visit . I feel at ease, knowing that she is there to give them a potty break and some playtime.

Gina has been caring for my dog for years, and you can tell she is a true dog lover. She always does a wonderful job walking, brushing, and medicating my elderly dog! I am wary of who I trust with my dog, but I have not found anyone more compassion or trustworthy than her.
