Pet care experience

Private, In-Home Pet Concierge

𝐏𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 | 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 My approach to pet care is rooted in consistency, discretion, and emotional awareness. I provide a calm, steady presence that allows pets to remain grounded in their environment while you’re away—minimizing stress and maintaining a sense of normalcy. I specialize in in-home, one-client-at-a-time care designed to mirror your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. This continuity is especially valuable for pets who thrive on familiarity, gentle companionship, and a peaceful environment 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 I began house and pet sitting in 2011 and have since cared for homes and pets across the country. As a self-employed professional with an established career, I bring a high level of responsibility, respect, and professionalism to every stay. Clients consistently trust me not only with their pets, but with their homes—often returning to the same families over the years. References are available and reflect long-standing relationships built on reliability, discretion, and genuine care. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 I am experienced with both cats and dogs, including those with structured routines or medication schedules. My care style is attentive but unintrusive - meeting your pet where they are, whether that’s playful engagement, quiet companionship, or simply a reassuring presence nearby. 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 & 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭) My services are designed for pets whose exercise needs can be met without daily walks. I do not provide neighborhood walks, distance walking, or high-activity exercise routines. If your dog requires a leash for outdoor time, I’m happy to accommodate short, level outings (such as to a nearby yard or mailbox area), but I’m not able to manage extended walks, hills, or inclines. I’m best suited for homes with secure outdoor spaces where pets can go out regularly and engage in play, along with companionship and routine-based care throughout the day. Due to mobility considerations, I’m able to access areas of the home via stairs as needed (such as entry or a designated sleeping space), but I’m not the right fit for homes that require frequent movement between multiple levels or repeated stair use throughout the day. 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 | 𝐀 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 My rates reflect the quality and attentiveness of the care I provide. I’m present in your home for most of the day, as well as overnight, offering steady companionship and consistent routines. By intentionally limiting the number of clients I accept, I’m able to provide a boutique level of service - a calm, mature presence and thoughtful, unrushed care that keeps your pets feeling safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Ginger is paws down the best pet sitter we have had the pleasure of having care for our pets and our home. From the moment we met her on an initial meet and greet to her departure following our 10 day trip, she was fully engaged with our pets and their needs. Her daily communications with us while we were away were full of photos and “ news of the day”. Our pets warmed to her immediately and were relaxed upon our return. Our home was immaculate and our communications with Ginger on the day of our return made for a seamless transfer of care. We will enthusiastically invite Ginger to return to care for our pets and our home again.

We loved Ginger! She was able to assist us at the last minute and stay with our two labs, one of which ended up being slightly injured a day before she came. She took great care of Gauge and Dallas!

Ginger is always amazing! We continue to book with her because she's just perfect with the dogs and also with the house. Thank you so much for being so good with both of our rescue dogs.... one is quite elderly and next extra TLC and the other is difficult (shy, barks a lot, scared and traumatized from a rough "childhod" before we got her). Ginger is always SO patient and kind... she's the best! I can't recommend her highly enough!

We had never used a professional sitter and Ginger was a dream come true. She and Dude got along well. She spent quality time with him and made sure his meds were dispensed per instructions each day. We hope to use her again when we need to leave home for a few days.

To provide the highest level of care, I ask that you share detailed information about your pets and household prior to booking. Please include: - Unique behaviors or personality traits - Dietary needs or sensitivities - Medical conditions and medication instructions - Commands your pet knows - Comfort level with touch, play, grooming, etc. - Furniture and sleeping preferences - Daily routines and comfort habits - Time they can be left alone - Reactivity (people, pets, food, doorways, etc.) - Feeding instructions and treat guidelines - Favorite toys and enrichment activities - Any household or behavioral boundaries 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬 Pets should be reliably potty-trained or consistently using pee pads. 𝐀 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 For indoor dogs, I kindly ask that they are freshly bathed prior to my arrival to help maintain a comfortable shared environment. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 For clarity and proper care, please list every animal in the home individually - including cats, dogs, fish, and other pets - with a photo for each. I’m happy to adjust pricing accordingly (for example, I do not charge full rates for simple care like feeding fish), but I ask that no additional pets be introduced after our meet-and-greet. 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 To support proper rest and comfort, I require access to a full-size (or larger) bed. While I don’t mind pets sleeping nearby, having adequate space ensures a safe and restful environment for everyone. 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 & 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 To ensure your home runs smoothly while you’re away, please include: - Primary veterinarian contact - Emergency vet (if different) - Alarm systems, cameras, gates, fire extingusher location, or quirks (include required codes as needed) - Preferred communication method and expectations - A local emergency contact - Instructions for delayed return scenarios - WiFi details and household systems - Any scheduled visitors (cleaners, landscapers, etc.)
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.
