Mom&Toddler-Snuggle Buddy Hunting!

Pet care experience

I recently find myself at home full-time with my very active son and we're missing the warmth our dog, Busa, brought into our home before passing a year ago. We're not ready for the commitment of another dog, but would love to pamper your pet with all the love we can provide while you're away! I've been a pet owner since I was a child and currently own fish, an aquatic turtle, and two cats. I have lots of experience in caring for older animals and those out of surgery. I enjoy the babies, also! We have a nice sized, fenced in, back yard at my home with lockable doggy door for medium sized dogs. I do also have a large spare crate, if needed. My availability is pretty flexible, so I will try to work with your needs as much as possible. I look forward to hearing from you!

Gina was great! Very easy to work with and sends daily updates. My dog didn’t even seem to miss me because he was well taken care of! He has special food and medication that she had no problems giving. Even kept him clean. My dog can be feisty and unpredictable at times but she had no problems with that also!

Gina was wonderful. I was away for a three-day weekend and she sent multiple photos each day of my dog outside, inside, sleeping, everything. It put me at ease to know that he was happy and comfortable.

Information Gina P. would like to know about your pet

Any triggers or things that upset/frighten them Allergies Medicines Definite 'rule breakers' for you, things you don't allow them to do in your house that I shouldn't be allowing them to do in mine or while you're away. Consistency is key!

A typical day

All of the below-mentioned things would ONLY be done at your discretion and at your dog's comfort level. If at any point the dog shows disinterest, or does not like an activity, I would not pursue it further. You also know your dog best. If you tell me to avoid something, people, places... that's what I'll do! Large fenced yard. My son loves bubbles, so we will most likely play with those at some point. Water play (if you allow), perhaps a bath (for those dogs who enjoy them). Walks and trips to the park. My son loves to brush our animals, so short grooming sessions will most likely be in order. My dog used to love my massages. Cuddling on the couch, or in the bed. Playing dress up.
