I am currently employed full-time, Monday-Friday from 8am-4:30pm. I work out regularly in the morning, so I am no stranger to waking up early to care for pet needs, and can drop in at 7am. I can always make time in the evenings after work. My weekends are much more free for pet care with a significantly more flexible schedule. I prioritize clear communication regarding the hours I will be away from your pets. If your pets cannot be left alone for several hours while I fulfill my job commitments and travel back and forth to your residence, then we might not be the best match. Understanding your expectations and how I can best meet your needs is very important to me.

At this time, I am unable to offer boarding services in my own house, but I am happy to come to your house and meet any needs your pets may have. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable in your absence. I am careful to follow the provided instructions to a T and lock up every time I leave. Rest assured, you will receive lots of photos/updates and a detailed description of the visit!

Information Regina S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, or is particularly reactive, especially if I’m taking a dog on a walk. I’m a very detail-oriented person who doesn’t shy away from a challenge, so don’t be afraid to let me know of any specific concerns or needs for your pet! If there’s something your pet is working on, please let me know so I can be as consistent as possible for your pet! Please note: if you are a new client, and want house sitting or are requiring me to walk your dog, a meet and greet is mandatory with me before I will book you. Thank you for understanding as it is important to me to prioritize the safety and comfort of your pet.

A typical day

I’m happy to play fetch, go for walks, and even go for runs for your high energy pups! I’m always happy to provide snuggles and cuddles for your lower energy pets as well! Any pet of yours is sure to get all the love and attention they need.

Absolutely love Gina! She’s so kind and patient, always quick to respond and has been amazing each time we used her for our dogs! My little dog is scared of people and needs time to warm up and she has always gone the extra mile to ensure he was comfortable with her.

Wonderful! Regina was able to pet sit last minute for us and took great care of 2 younger larger dogs, a small senior dog, and a cat who likes to play hide and seek. Lots of photos (some of which I’ll be printing because they are too cute!) and updates. All 4 were happy and healthy when we returned 🥰

Regina was great! She had to deal with our dog who is scared Of fireworks, including giving her some Calming medication. But she also had to know how to walk the very same dog who loves to suddenly lunge after rabbits. And our elderly cat requires meds. Thanks Regina! We’d definitely use her again.

We absolutely loved having Gina! Our smallest dog is such a grump and she was so patient with him until he could warm up. She sent updates everyday and really seemed to care about how my babies were doing. ❤️We will definitely be using her again.
