Dogs are truly my passion !
Pet care experience
Hi and welcome! Thank you so much for your interest! I kindly ask that you please read my profile in its entirety (specifically my schedule) as I've had to turn people away, unfortunately. ☹️ When I was very young, I grew up with an outside dog whom I absolutely loved. I truly believe that dog from childhood is what has given me my passion for dogs today. Despite being a quarter wolf- she was the sweetest and most loving, child-friendly dog, and my best friend in my early life. Growing up, I have had the opportunity and experience in house-training, teaching simple tricks, and have mastered giving really good doggy belly rubs and hind scratches! I don't mind dogs of any shape or size, attitude, activeness, lovable or mischievous, I love 'em all! Any one of my dear friends can tell you I cannot resist to give a little love and attention to any furry companion I cross paths with. I do enjoy the daily dog walks, playing a little fetch and tug-a-war, and most especially, a little cuddle time. I'm eager to get my own pup someday but just not quite ready for the commitment (and cost, amiright?) so in the meantime, I genuinely enjoy spending all the time with all the different fur babies, and a little monetary incentive only sweetens the deal! haha Ive recently moved into my own home and allow the dogs free range on the main floor while I'm away, unless otherwise crated. I do have a camera (I originally intended to mount outside but now found use for it inside) I can use to check in on the pupper while I am away at work. It allows me to make sure your pup is relaxed and being the good boy/girl you know they are! ;) I also like to set up youtube DOG Music radio for them to maintain relaxed and calm down the anxiety while left alone.
Reviews
Gina was the best pet sitter to our two boys, Luke and Dino! They are high drive boys who are not so friendly with other dogs, but Gina knew exactly how to handle their behavior! we received daily photos and videos of our boys cuddling with her and going on walks. She also provided them with lick mats and puzzles too! I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! I can guarantee, Gina is THE best!! Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our boys!
So wonderful! Will be reusing her services
Wonderful sitter, my dog loves her!
Gina is so wonderful! My dog is very high-energy and needs a fair bit of stimulation. She does a great job with him!
About Gina T.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for each animal is if they were my own. I make sure I can do whatever I can to get them settled in, relaxed and comfortable in their new temporary space. They are most certainly allowed on the couch/bed for some always welcomed cuddles. I've even purchased lickpads & treat puzzles for boredom busters/distractions for my new & repeating furry friends!
Home
Information Gina T. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if there are any issues with temperament, leash handling instructions, and if they have any naughty/mischievous habits to be aware of. It's also important to know if they have any triggers or allergies of any kind..
A typical day
I am happy to do all the normal things your pup is used to, to keep routine as close as possible for your pup while you're out. Many times, your furbaby/s do become flexible on adjusting to routines but whatever is asked of me is what I want to maintain for the pet!

Availability
***MY SCHEDULE: I do want to mention, I work full time, outside of the home so weekday bathroom breaks are a little stretched. I go into work anytime between 730-8 and come home by 430-5. As previously mentioned, I am able to keep an eye on the pup/s and can break away from work if an emergency should arise - as I live only 5 minutes away from work. It's also important to also mention - I have a part time job from 6pm-8pm on Wednesday & Thursdays + some Saturdays for 5 hours.
