Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional/Experienced Pet Lover!
Hi! My name is Gina and I have worked as a professional pet and house sitter for over 25 years. My experience in pet care is both professional and personal as animals have had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. I have always had pets of my own and began pet sitting for others at age nine, when I started caring for my next door neighbor’s animal menagerie that included several horses, donkeys, goats, cats, dogs and rabbits. Starting in my 20s, I began work as a professional pet and house sitter and dog walker in Santa Barbara, CA. Since then I have worked both independently and as an employee of a pet care company. Over the years I have cared for many of my own animals, including several dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, fish and chickens. Currently, I am the proud fur mamma of a sweet female, tuxy kitty named Lucinda. I enjoy spending time with and caring for animals small and large of any species. I love them all! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I offer dog walking and both drop-in and overnight pet/house sitting services so your pets can remain in the comfort of their own home, or in mine. I have experience administering medications and caring for animals of many different ages, temperaments, sizes and species.
Ratings and reviews
My pups adore spending time with "Aunt" Gina! We completely trust them in her care.
My pups adore Gina. We love that she treats them as her own and never seems to mind that there are so many of them ....
Gina has stayed with our pack more than once and has taken great care of both our dogs and our home! It’s clear that she loves on them and gives them lots of attention when she stays. We get to come home to happy, stress free pups. Highly recommend!
Gina was great with our critters! They all adored her. She was incredible with communication and pictures while we were gone, and even took care of my seedlings! We'll definitely be reaching out again next time we are out of town.
As always, our pups adore Gina and her daughter. They treat them like family and I feel good knowing they are in good hands.
Gina took amazing care of our two dogs—they were very happy, well-fed, and loved while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos, which was very appreciated. We came home to two relaxed pups and a spotless house! It’s clear she really cares and goes above and beyond. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.

Schedule
I have a fairly open and flexible schedule and currently no dogs of my own, which allows me lots of time to care for your pet and home!
