Lots of love, structure and trust.

Pet care experience

I love and have a great deal of experience with many “Furry friends,” not only Dogs and Cats, but with many exotic pets as well, including Sugar Gliders, Parrots, iguana’s, etc,. I believe structure is very important when you leave your pet, to continue their daily routine as status quo. It’s hard enough on them when your gone, so it’s important for them to get lots of love, comfort, and security. I also know and understand how hard it is for the pet parent to leave their furry baby’s with a total stranger for the first time as well, so I want to give you as much as my background information as I possibly can, and please always feel free to ask me any questions you want during our “meet and greet.” I was born and raised on Long Island, in NY. I have two amazing adult children who are currently starting families of their own. I don’t smoke, and only drink on special occasions. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management (BBA-Management), as well as an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Human Services. I worked in the field of adults with special needs for 15 years as a Residential Habilitation Specialist, as well as a Vocational Assessor, and 11 years at Briarcliffe College as a Senior Executive Admissions Advisor. I absolutely loved both of my careers, but in my heart, I have always had a love for animals, therefore my long term goal is to open a not for profit, no kill shelter. One day in the future, I will indeed follow that dream. Throughout my entire adult life I have always been “the” pet sitter for family, friends, their friends, etc,. and have always enjoyed it immensely! I also volunteered for the wild life association in NY, as well as the dog shelter in Mount Vernon. I just recently purchased my home in Spring Hill, FL and am currently home full time due to an early retirement, which enables me to be very flexible. I would now love nothing more than to work with pets again, as they have always made me happy! Please be assured that when you entrust me with your pet/loved one, that they will be my number one priority while in my care, and I will provide them with lots of love. I believe that animals were placed on this earth as a gift to make humans happy! In my eyes pets can do no wrong, they are like innocent children and only want to love and make their pet parents happy. I am home full time and am extremely flexible. I am very responsible and will always communicate with you throughout the day to keep your mind at ease My yard is completely fenced in, my home is very clean and bug free, I have one small dog that absolutely loves having pet visitors, he doesn’t have a mean or aggressive bone in his body. I am extremely responsible and will care for your pets as though they are my own. I am also fully vaccinated for Covid-19, but still very responsible, by always taking safety measures.

Gina and her husband were excellent care givers for our two dogs. Reya and Lando were very happy with them, and they sent pictures to prove it. In fact we weren't sure if they would want to come with us when we picked them up. Gina is definitely a gem!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Gina watch over my beloved cat while I was on vacation. It was my first time leaving my cat alone, and I had some worries, especially since he has seizures. However, Gina's care and compassion completely put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond, visiting my cat every day, sending me pictures and videos, and treating him with the utmost love and attention. It was evident that she cared for my cat as if he was her own, and that truly warmed my heart. Gina is not only an exceptional caregiver but also a wonderful person with a huge heart. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Gina to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Gina, for taking such good care of my furry friend!

Gina did an awesome job. This was our first time having her watch our two shepherds in our home. While we were away she updated us on our boys each day. She sent videos and pictures. She took great care of our dogs and home while we were gone. Very impressed on how neat and clean it was when we got home. We will definitely book her again next time we need an in home pet sitter.

Information Gina W. would like to know about your pet

I want your pet to continue their daily routine to the tee, whether I am sitting at my house or yours. Structure make your pet feel more secure and decreases their anxiety, therefore, the more I know about your pet, the better, don’t ever feel that any detail is too small!

A typical day

Play play play and more play, its good to keep their mind active and busy so they aren’t depressed due to missing their pet parents. I like taking long walks, weather permitting, to keep our baby’s active.

I have nothing but love and time, and what’s better than filling that time doing something I absolutely love to do? I always say that being around “fuzz butts” is the best antidepressant in the world!!! “I do what I love, therefore, I never work a day in my life.”
