Reliable Animal Friend!
Pet care experience
Experienced with a variety of animals, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles, etc! I have owned pets since I was 8 years old and volunteered at The Humane Society for my teen years. This allowed me experience with dog evaluations, shy animals, basic medical care, and vet tech experience. I have owned many cats and I do not shy away from a difficult cat! Feel very comfortable around most animals, and will provide the best care for your baby. Have experience clipping nails, cleaning ears, brushing, temperature taking, suppositories, and basic animal first aid from vet tech experience.
Reviews
Gina has such a heart for our fur babies! She has had experience working out our local Humane Society, so I know that any animal in her care will be in experienced hands. I am very particular about who I leave my dog with, and Gina not only takes good care of her but my dog loves her too. I highly recommend her as a caregiver for your pet!
Gina is the best! We used to be roommates and she would watch my dog when I went out of town. My dog Xena loved hanging out and cuddling with Gina. She’s responsible, sweet and good with pets.
I highly recommend Gina for any of your furry friends needs! My cat Zeppelin can be a little obnoxious with his constant chatter, so sometimes I worry with new roommates how they will accept him and his loudness. Gina and Zeppelin were immediate friends. Always nice to be able to leave town for the weekend knowing he was in good hands!

Will follow the thorough instructions that you provide and make sure they are kept in the preferred areas. I also ensure they have no access to any harmful foods or chemicals. I have worked with muzzled and aggressive dogs. If your dog has aggressive behaviors please disclose them beforehand, I would set up a meet-and-greet to clarify their boundaries. I will keep them to the parameters your set on walks and communicate any different health factors or behaviors to you immediately.
Information Gina O. would like to know about your pet
I work well with shy and anxious dog animals and listen to behavioral cues. Please let me know if: - Behavior and social tendencies - They like to run off - Have any special quirks or favorite toys and scratches - Any health concerns, special needs, or medications - Things to avoid on walks
A typical day
I love going on long walks and hiking with dogs! If your dog is up for this I will take them on long trails and let them sniff around. I am an avid frisbee and fetch player, anything that gets me outside and moving with them is great for me as well. I can also be a low-key snuggler for our older senior dogs and smaller dogs. I will also take into extra consideration the ice and snow conditions for dogs that have hip and joint issues.

Availability
Currently, I am working part-time, and I own a car. I can travel quickly to your place of residence. My work starts mid-morning until early evening so can make sure your furbabies are out for morning and evening walks every day, if in Aspen's downtown vicinity, I can stop by during breaks as well.
