Animal Lover with open availability

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have cared for friends & family’s as well. I’ve always had such a special connection to all animals. My very first job at 15 was taking care of 10 huskies. I have also volunteered at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center taking care of the many different types of animals with various duties, from cleaning, feeding, medical special needs, to simply keeping an eye on them. As of the last year, I sadly lost my 15 yr old who was mix Anatolian/Keeshond and then 4 months later lost my 13yr old who was mix Shih Tzu/Pomeranian who I had both since they were babies. I’m feeling at the point where I’m longing to take care of others and love on them, but not quite ready to get my own just yet. I’m a very nurturing person especially when it comes to animals and their needs and would love to offer that again to other beloved pets. I treat them as if they are my own children. I’m experienced with many different breeds and all the stages of their lives. All animals have their individual and unique personalities.. I’m very observant and connected learning quickly what their needs are based on behavior, breed, and age. I’m experienced in administrating medication if needed. And in general all the basic needs of walking, feeding, physical and mental stimulation and of course lots of love. I’m very committed, reliable, respectful and will go above and beyond if their are any special requests or other things needed to be done such as cleaning, checking mail, taking out trash etc..

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Gina did an amazing job with my pups. My dogs warmed up to her pretty fast. She did an amazing job with updates and overall my husband an I couldn’t be any happier with her service. I highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to find a reliable, trustworthy, caring, and loving sitter for your pets! <3

Gina is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my furry pet. When I first met her she gave me an excellent first impression. She is very sweet and warm and right away made a connection with my pet. When I came home after a weekend away I noticed my dog was very relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to have her watch my furry friend again.

Information Gina S. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely would want to know everything about your pet in advanced to prepare the best care I can give them. What they are used to as a routine and any special needs such as medications, health or physical limitations/needs, behavioral concerns, time they eat and how much, and exercise needs. If they are coming here, I would love them to bring their favorite comfort things such as blanket, bed, toys etc..

A typical day

Depending on the breed and size, I would LOVE to take for short or longer walks. I believe mental and physical stimulation is extremely important. I have a fenced yard so playing fetch and just running around with them. I also have stimulation toys such as licking mats or games to play too. I am home full time, so they would be getting my full attention.
