All animals lover & Boxer's Mom!
Pet care experience
I have been a Pet Nanny for more than 35 years, I am particularly comfortable with large and giant dog breeds and I love cats. I pride myself on the high-standard of care and services that I offer, but most of all, I treat each animal like they have a soul and are a part of my family. I grew up in France with cats and dogs, we always had many animals in my home and close family, even donkeys, horses, hens and geese. I have taken care of all my family, friends and neighbor’s pets since my teenager years, and I'm still doing it in each and every countries and neighborhoods that I move into. As I fell in love with Boxers, I am now a Boxer Mom for the last 20 years. But I have experience in taking care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and characters: from Bernese and Great Dane to German Shepperd, Cane Corso, Lab, Dalmatian, Pitbull, Boxers of course, Cocker, Cavalier, Bulldog, Pomeranian, Poodles and all the mixes and sizes in between. I am very adaptable to many different types of dogs and their unique character, and I absolutely love cuddle with cats and feel their purr as I do not have any of my own right now. I am very attentive in each animal’s need, what they want and what they like, whatever their size and character. Our family is also approved as Foster family even though we are not fostering any dog at the time. Having so many puppies, senior or sick cats and/or dogs to take care of, I can easily handle their specific needs for basic training, cleaning of messes, and/or giving medicines.
Reviews
Ginny recently watched our boxer through Rover for over a week and she was AMAZING! We have never left our dog with a sitter except once for a few hours with family members. He is high energy and we were a bit concerned about finding the right fit. Ginny was it! During the meet and greet, Ginny was able to befriend our boxer immediately and match his energy level. She made us feel at ease about leaving our fur baby. We received updates throughout each day along with fantastic pictures. It was evident that she loves dogs and that she was having just as much fun as our boxer was on his staycation. Ginny maximized her time with him and provided walks, visits to the park and creek as well as playdates. Ginny took care of our dog and house as her own. She went above and beyond protecting our home and dog from a wasp invasion and even gave us a couple of tips as a dog owner herself, which we appreciated very much. We could not have discovered a better sitter than Ginny and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
Our Richie, is a big, young, rambunctious puppy, and we were extremely nervous leaving him in the care of someone else for the first time. I reached out to Ginny based on her glowing reviews, and she was very responsive and open to a meet and greet. During our meet and greet, she welcomed us into her home and backyard - which is an absolute doggo paradise. While getting to know her, it was clear how well prepared she was, and we really appreciated how she offered solutions and assurances for safety issues we didn’t even consider. We left feeling very confident about her. While Richie was in her care, Ginny was amazingly, wonderfully, exceptionally communicative. We received frequent adorable texts, pics and videos of all the fun things they did - and they did A LOT. It takes some real attention to wear out a puppy, and judging by the pics/videos and snooze session updates: Ginny succeeded multiple times daily. Our pup received TONS of enrichment, care and love. I would never hesitate to book with Ginny again; we had high hopes but still, she far exceeded expectations. We can’t thank her enough for putting our minds at ease and taking care of our baby boy like he was her own!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ginny. She truly cares about animals and is wonderful with my Great Dane. Her house is their house, she sends updates all throughout the stay. I feel at ease every time my dog stays with her. Truly a wonderful sitter!!
Ginny took excellent care of our dog during a day trip. Our pup is a very large German Shepherd mix and is clingy and does not like to be left alone. Ginny did everything to keep him entertained and busy while we were gone and she sent us lots of photos and updates during the day. She even uses a tracker when walking so that in the unlikely event he were to get loose, we’d have a way to find him quickly. She wasn’t afraid of his big dog energy or his constant shedding. We look forward to having Ginny watch Nacho again!

I have a fenced yard but still walk my 2 Boxers twice a day every day on top of playtime and tons of cuddle time. So I can either play with your dog(s) in your fenced yard, bring them to a near dog park to play safe, go on a walk with them, or just cuddle and hangout as you would do if you were home. I want them to feel like they are safe, loved, and free to do whatever they're used to do as if they were with you.
Information Ginny F. would like to know about your pet
Over the last 35+ years I took care of all breeds and sizes dogs, and I'm a Boxers Mom for the last 20 years, so I can handle large and giant sizes and energetic dogs.
A typical day
I play ball and/or frisbee, go on long walks with my Boxers and most of my client's dogs, but with some others it's just a calm walk and a lot of cuddle time. It all depends on their preferences and characters. I will adapt to what they like and need most...

Availability
I'm working as a full Pet Nanny, so if I take care of your family pets, they are my priorities and they will be treated as if they are part of my family. For the overnight pet care at your home, I will stay with your pets for 22 hours out of 24 hours, as I only book one family at a time. I will not have to leave your pets to take care of any other family (other than checking on my 2 Boxers for just 2 hours a day). And if you were to ask my 2 furry babies about their life, they would probably tell you that they are spoiled rotten every day with cuddles, kisses, pictures, toys, plays and walks... 😁
