About Gina

Hello, I'm Gina. Originally from Bega in South East NSW. I grew up on a farm where we rescued and rehabilitated race horses, neighboured by goats, cows and with our own dogs and cats. I have plenty of experience walking small, medium and large breeds, and can administer medications if your furry friend is in need of a little extra TLC.

I have my own pet retriever Ziggy who loves company and gets along best with other small dogs, but will cuddle any pooch who will let him. We live in a 2 bedroom home in st kilda with a large backyard for your dogs to play in both sunny and shaded areas on the lawn and in garden beds. I can also visit you if you're local to Melbourne greater metro area to take care of your home and pet.  

Our home is open and friendly and we expect the same of visitors both human and pets. Please provide as much information as possible on how you like to care for your furry friend/s to ensure their time spent with us is comfortable and easy. I provide photo updates and text checks in's while you're away so you can be sure your pet is happy and relaxed.

I am happy to walk your dog, play with them, feed them, water, hang out and make them feel at home. If you'd like to arrange a meet and great please feel free to message me to organise before confirming your booking.

Gina was a pleasure to deal with, great communication and attentive as Nala seemed to have a sore eye . She was made to feel right at home along with Ziggy . A typical golden retriever who seems to have found the perfect sitter for her . Will definitely reach out to her next time we need her looked after 😊
