I regret not leaving this review when she took care of Pratt, but I found myself thinking of her these many years later (having only trusted my dog to the care of another once since that time and that was in an emergency) as I consider taking a trip out of state wondering who to trust to care for my "child." She could not have been more welcoming and joyful yet remarkably organized a keen behaviorist. I appreciated her redirecting Pratt when he thought snooping at food on the counter was appropriate and giving me updates on how he came out of his shell learning how to interact with different sized dogs etc., not to mention bed time happiness. Pratt was a giddy pup when I picked him up which speaks volumes. He was safe, happy and mentored by human and dog alike. Perfect trifecta.

Ginger is our go to sitter for our pup Sheldon when we have to go out of town. He is very well taken care of and loved while he’s there. We feel so comfortable leaving Sheldon and always know we will get updates and responses promptly. Would recommend!
