I've taken car of dogs my whole life! We have always had at least one dog in our house. Growing up my family was a very dog oriented house we had rat terriers, shih tuzs, schaunzer, golden retriever. Right now my family back at home has a couple of dogs from the shelter a beagle named Nikki, a yorkie/jack Russell mix named Bob and a cute one eyed shih tzu named Dee. Ever since I was old enough I was the one who trained our dogs. I taught them how to be potty trained, how to stay in the yard, as well as cute tricks. Bob is the best at this he even can play dead dramatically by walking around and rolling onto his belly after some dramatics. Since my family has always had shelter dogs we have had puppies all the way to mature dogs. I have learned through experience how to deal with many different types of dogs who have had many different personalities. I also had experience of giving our different dogs different medications on schedule. I miss my dogs at home and can't wait to give your pup lots of love and attention!

Gina is the BEST!! We always get so nervous leaving our dogs with new people, and from the very first conversation, Gina set our nerves to rest. She asked a lot of very helpful questions to be clear on our needs, and her communication was great – always very quick to respond and clear. When we were on our trip, she consistently sent us detailed updates and pictures, and we could tell that our dogs were very loved while we were away. I highly recommend Gina!

It was our first time booking with Gina me and my sister left our fur babies with her! All I have to say is, if you are a paranoid mom about who’s watching your baby you don’t have to worry about it with Gina, our babies was very well taken care of she sent us pictures and kept us up-to-date, which gave us so much peace of mind, and our babies don’t just stay with anybody and they both loved her, I would definitely book only with Gina again ,

Gina is AWESOME! I had a last minute late work event to attend, and I chose Gina based off reviews, without event meeting her. She not only was able to help last minute, but took amazing care of my Frenchie. I was so grateful for her help, and I would highly recommend her! I am very happy, and comfortable, in having her look after him in the future! Thank you, Gina!

Gina is a loving caretaker who took care of our pup last minute and accommodated to our needs. Rosa is a very energetic pup and Gina was able to keep her entertained and sent pictures throughout the stay. I highly recommend Gina for your pet sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom luxury apartment that has a special pet area on site. I moved down to Florida six years ago and my dogs stayed with my family and I miss them a ton. This has been the first time in my life that I haven't had a dog, I was in college and didn't have the proper amount of time to devote to one. Now I'm graduated and work mainly from home so I have lots of time and love to give to your special pet.

A typical day

I love to find out what your pet loves and cater to the needs and wants of your pets. Each visit is unique from stimulating your pets brain with play and games, to exercising on walks and visiting my complexes dog play area, to relaxing with pets and belly rubs. I am excited to spend time with your pet and give them the specialized attention they deserve!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
