Testimonials
So lucky to have Gina back for a second house-sitting, she is exceptional!
We were so fortunate to have Gina back for her second housesitting in Boston. Knowing Gina's exceptional skills and character, we had complete confidence in the well-being of our house and pets. She once again exceeded our expectations, maintaining regular communication, leaving the house spotless, and delighting our dog during their reunion. Gina's care for our older dog, including medication administration, was excellent. We're not only lucky to have her as a trusted housesitter but also as a friend and travel inspiration. Thank you again Gina! Please return soon!

Could not have asked for a better house sitter!!!
We were so lucky to have Gina as our pet and housesitter for two weeks this spring, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Although we were somewhat nervous as this was our first mindmyhouse experience, from the moment we met on Zoom and later in person, I knew that we could relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that our home and pets were in excellent hands. Gina is a lovely person and so kind and easy to talk to; I feel privileged to have gotten to know her. Gina was extremely responsible and respectful of our home, and it was lovely to come back to it tidy and clean. She also took great care of our pets, sending pictures and messages about how they were doing. I also was so appreciative of Gina’s excellent communication skills, keeping me updated regularly before, during, and after the trip. Overall, I highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring person to take care of their pets and home. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will 100% be trying to rebook Gina for any future trips if we are lucky enough to have her!

Best house sitter we've ever had!!
This is the 3rd housesit Gina has done for us, and we're excited that she'll be coming again later this year. She is so reliable, kind, and trustworthy. She has excellent communication and takes amazing care of our pup, cat and home. She truly is an extension of us while we're away, and we have zero worries. We always come home to a super clean home and love having her stay!

Gina is Wonderful!
Gina house and dog sat for us for 3 weeks and was a complete star! Right from the start when we first zoomed it was clear that Gina was kind, considerate and proactive. She checked in with us each month leading up to when she arrived and got here a day early so that we could all get to know each other. She is genuinely one of the most sweet and thoughtful people we have met, using her time to have her own adventures but also really contribute in a meaningful way to other peoples lives. Our dog Bizzy was so happy with her and when we got back she was torn as to which of us she loved best! Our house was cleaner than when we had left and Gina baked the most amazing goodies for us I cannot recommend Gina more highly????

Flexible, self-sufficient and lovely
Gina arrived the day before we were due to go away and we immediately connected over our love of travel. She picked up all our requirements and, apart from some lovely updates during our 10 days away looked after our home and dogs exactly as we had discussed. We came home to happy dogs, a clean and tidy home and garden and a beautiful apple and blueberry crumble! I would not hesitate to use Gina again!

Responsible and experienced cat-sitter. Highly recommended!
Gina was fantastic! Very responsive to emails etc before, during and after the cat-sit. She took excellent care of my fur baby and was unfazed by her aloofness (to be polite) and her occasional vomiting. In fact, she must have been a calming influence because Zéphyr vomited only twice, which is less than she has been lately. She had even taken preventive measures for my pet in case she had a medical emergency that I I had never even thought of. Gina made sure to collect the packages that arrived in my absence and gave spare keys to my friend when it looked like my flight back might be delayed. She is an enthusiastic guest and tourist, and left my home spotless, with everything right where I'd left it. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Gina to cat-sit again for me. Thank you!

Reliable and clean
Great doggy sitter. Arkan realy had a great time, Gina is more than experienced with animals. House kept in good order, and good communication while abroad. A very pleasant experience i could recommend to all.

Best house-/pettsitter ever!
I highly recommend Gina as a house- / petsitter. She is not only a cat whisperer, but leaves your house as she has never been there. Clean, tidy respectful. On top of that Gina is a lovely person, great to talk to, funny, incredible widely travel experienced, friendly towards the neighbors.... just a great person to be around with. I've asked Gina to come back again - for cat sitting but also just as a friend you would like to see again.... Thank you!!!

Gina is a delight!
We have used Gina to house/dog sit several times and will continue to request her services. She is fabulous in every way! Gina is dedicated, detailed oriented, trustworthy, organized, and a problem solver. She has become our friend and the dog loves her to visit.

Such a great sitter, we had her come back again :)
Gina is such a great home sitter that we had her come back again (and already have her scheduled to come back for next year!) When we met online, she told us that she would be an extension of us- and she really was. We were able to be away and focused on family without ANY worry or anxiety. With past pet sitters, I always felt the need to check-in. But with Gina, we just KNEW that all was taken care of, and felt so lucky to have her staying at our home and caring for our fur babies. She took such good care of our pets, home, and vehicle! She communicates well, is clean, kind, honest, and so thoughtful. You would be very very lucky to have her home-sit for you!!!

Wonderful!!
This was our first experience with MMH, and I feel so blessed to have met Gina! My husband was apprehensive about having someone we didn't know stay in our home and drive our car UNTIL the moment we met Gina in a zoom meetup. We instantly knew it was a good fit, and that we'd become friends. Gina is AMAZING, and if you get the chance to have her housesit for you -you'll be very lucky!! Gina is responsible, responsive, clean, reliable and trustworthy, but more importantly kind and thoughtful. She is detailed oriented and thought of tiniest yet most important things ( for instance, she keeps a card next to her drivers license stating she's housesitting with pets and with our address) just in case there was an emergency. I would have never even thought of that. During our trip, we had a family emergency, and she reached out regularly to check in, and she was flexible. Overall, this was the best experience and we're so grateful. (I secretly didn't want to leave a review so we could keep her all to ourselves) :) Thank you Gina from the bottom of my heart for everything. Andy and I are so thankful and blessed to call you friend.

Fabulous in every way!
Gina was absolutely fabulous in every way. She is very outgoing and friendly. She has great communication skills, smart, enthusiastic, multi-talented and organized. While we were gone there were 3 unexpected issues at the house (none of her fault), but she handled them very well and used excellent problem-solving skills. Gina took really good care of our dog and home, in fact, our dog fell in love with her. During our absence, she sent pictures of him and we felt completely confident that he was in caring and capable hands. We were so pleased with Gina that we have already scheduled her for two additional house sitting dates. She is much appreciated and we look forward to many more visits in the future.

Best of the Best
We’ve engaged numerous HouseSitters over the past 10 years, all of whom have provided wonderful care and service. But Gina is in a class by herself. She took on the care of a 4 bedroom house and yard and an aging kitty, and did it for three months in the middle of a pandemic. In addition to keeping the house tidy, Gina mowed and trimmed the lawn, weeded and watered the flowers and shrubs, forwarded our mail and, most importantly, became a loving companion to our kitty. Her good natured, can-do attitude allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry or concern. We returned to an immaculately kept house and yard and a happy and well-cared for kitty. We recommend Gina without reservation. She is competent, trustworthy and caring; we will definitely use her services again.
