I work full-time remotely, and can plan accordingly for day time walks (am & pm) as well as potty breaks if there isn’t a yard. During the weekend I like to spend time outside. Depending on the pets comfort we would go on multiple walks and lounge in the backyard together. During my long pet sitting stays I try to keep my schedule very open so I’m spending time with the pet and not leaving them alone. If I need to run errands the goal is to be away for no more than 3 hours (usually less).

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the situation and client relationship only certain pets will be boarding in my home. They must be crate trained for nighttime and potty trained. My preference is to stay at the pets home to avoid extra anxiety caused from being in a new environment.

Information Gina P. would like to know about your pet

I’ve become very comfortable with pets who have special needs. Such as, high anxiety, fearful, shy, aggressive towards other breeds, need oral medication, and suffer with depression. You can trust that no matter the issue they will have my full attention and care.

A typical day

In an ideal situation we’d plays games, check out the new smells in the neighborhood, walk around the park if pet is comfortable in that environment, and hang out together at home. For special needs pets we fill stay close to home and familiar walking paths. Please note I do not go to off leash locations with ANY pets. We will stay in controlled environments regardless if there is a special need or not.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of small & large dogs since I was a little girl. Family & friends have relied on me to take care of their beloved fur babies by staying with them while away, feed, play, and watch tv together.

Gina went above and beyond when watching my cat! I really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She was very professional and trustworthy which is of utmost importance for anyone coming into your home and caring for your fur baby. I will reach out to her first next time I need a sitter and I’d recommend her to anyone!

Gina is a great pet sitter! She sent lots of photos throughout the night, and my dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her. She took them on an evening walk, followed all instructions perfectly, and was very communicative and friendly. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Gina was amazing with Yankee, my senior dog! She stayed at my place and gave her the best care. Since Yankee’s a senior dog so I tend to worry because she takes a little more attention than most but Gina was happy to follow all her instructions and even asked additional questions to give her the best care possible. I was out of the state for 4 days and I felt so good knowing that Yankee was in such caring hands. Not only was she great with Yankee, but she was amazing with me as well. She provided updates throughout her stay and sent pictures daily. I highly recommend Gina to anyone and trust her to watch my animals again.

Gina is now my dogs 2nd favorite person. She is great at communicating in advance as well as during the time she is watching my dog. She does a great job taking care of all the needs of my dog from walking, feeding and couch cuddling. She has done daycare for my dog as well as staying overnight when we are away for work and the house is always cleaner than when I left it. She is very responsive and trustworthy and is great with dogs!
