I love my 4 legged furry doggies.
Pet care experience
Taking care of dogs is truly one of the most rewarding aspects of my life! In addition to having my Master’s degree in Counselling, I also love to work with pups that need a little extra love and care to thrive. Dogs with behavioral issues or special needs are no problem for me to work with! I simply love making sure that every pup, regardless of who they are, has the ability to be happy and healthy. Not only do I get to make animals happy, but they get to teach me a thing or two as well. Not only do I have all the love in the world for animals, but I also have tons of professional experience working with animals. I have walked over 1,000(!) different animals of all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m prepared for virtually any possible case, and have absolutely loved working with as many great pups as I have. I’m very experienced with taking care of animals of all different needs, so your pup will be right at home with me, no matter how much love they need to thrive. 20 years of animal care experience will definitely teach you a thing or two! Although I love taking care of animals, I also know that they’re only one piece of the puzzle! The other half of my job is to make owners feel completely at ease while they’re away from their pup. After all, no one likes to be away from their best friend, but I’m here to show your pup a good time and extend to them all the love that they’re used to at home. Checking in with owners is a more-than-daily occurrence, and I always include tons of information as well, from what we’ve done throughout the day to pictures to document it!
Reviews
Gina was truly a blessing! It was difficult for me trying to find sitters that only watch one dog at a time and Gina popped up at the perfect time! I’ve never boarded my dog, Olive, before because she has bad separation anxiety and some sitters have complained about it and for the first time ever, Olive was the calmest I have ever seen her as I handed her off to Gina. Gina was intuitive and calm and took care of Olive as if she was her own. Every picture Gina sent me, Olive was smiling as if she was a human. When I picked Olive up, she wasn’t even as jittery as she usually is! Gina was like home away from home. I would definitely use her services again!
Very communicative, accommodating, and nice! Would book again!
Gina was so so great! I had to find someone to watch my baby while I was away for a business trip, and I’m happy that Gina was able to care for her. She sent me updates throughout the day which put me at ease :) will definitely book her again.
Jethro had the best time and was treated so well! Gina is very experienced with dogs and is good with the leash! I will definitely book with her again

Information Gina P. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I hope that your pup is ready for fun! I love to be a happy presence for animals, so lifting their spirits and having tons of fun while they’re with me is always on the menu. Dog parks are one of my favorite places to go, as there are always tons of great opportunities to meet some new friends and have some off-leash time as well. If your pup prefers to fly solo, then we’ll make our way to some of the local parks or just have a good time hanging out together at home! Whatever your pup’s preferences are, I’m happy to oblige.
