Safety, trust & environment

I am a very gentle soul. I will take care of your pets however you would like me to. I am a tidy person, so I wont leave a mess behind. I always pick up after myself and hopefully I can bring a little love and joy into your pets day whilst you are not there.

Information Ginger R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for ahead of time. It's best for me to know what to expect before showing up for both my comfort, and the pets comfort.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, we do different activities. Some dogs just like to snuggle on the couch and get belly rubs. Other dogs like to play fetch for a half hour outside. Some like long walks, some have an obsession with balls, but most dogs love my kisses on their foreheads!

Pet care experience

I worked on a farm for 8 years. I also worked at 1 veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant, and worked 4 doggy daycares. I love working with animals of all types and I am very efficient in the workplace. I have experience with giving medications, working with anxious dogs, working with high energy dogs, and training.

Ginger was terrific taking care of our older dog while we were away for 10 days. She spent a lot of time with him during the day and slept over at night. We felt very comfortable with Ginger in our home. She had to administer his meds twice a day and also put on and remove his elbow cover . Would definitely use her again!

Ginger is such a great dog sitter! She was communicative about her visits with our pup and spent lots of time petting and playing with her. We would definitely recommend Ginger and plan on booking with her again in the future!

Ginger was great with my shy rescue! Two check-ins- and fed dinner! Prompt and followed careful directions. Great communication - we had a meet and greet prior to hiring.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
