About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child, learning to give medication and care for senior dogs and puppies alike. I have learned to pay special attention to their wines, barks, way of walking and more. Giving every person I’ve dog sat for a feeling of trust in me, knowing their dog will be treated and cared for like a member of the family. I am home most days all day, any pet in my care gets to be loved on and part of my daily routine if they want to. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run around in if they choose, and if my kids and I are playing on the floor we welcome the time for cuddles. They also adore giving treats, taking them for walks and even playing with them. Very frequently they will be given attention and made sure they are comfortable.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Shelby, received! From the start, it was clear she was in loving and capable hands. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after.

We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and flexibility, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”

“Ginnie is the best sitter I've ever encountered here on Rover. Baxter is a timid maltipoo who is afraid of his own shadow and other dogs and Ginnie managed to get him to a point where he jumps out of the car and runs to her now. Amazing!
