Pet care experience

Reliable dog lover

"Do what you love and love what you do." That saying has guided my entire life. My passion for pet care started when I was just 8 years old, walking neighborhood dogs and trying to build my very own pet-care business from scratch. Today, that lifelong dedication has grown into a deeply experienced, specialized boarding and drop-in service right here in Eagle Mountain. I recently relocated my established pet care business from Hershey, Pennsylvania, and I am incredibly excited to serve families in North Utah County. Over the last 20+ years, I have personally owned and professionally cared for a massive spectrum of breeds, ranging from toy sizes to 150-pound giant breeds. My Deep Breed Experience Includes: * Personally Owned: Shar-Pei, Welsh Corgi, Beagle, Shih Tzu, and Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix. I intimately understand herding instincts, stubborn protective traits, and small-dog personalities. • Large & Giant Breeds: Hands-on experience boarding, sitting, and handling a Great Dane/Boxer mix, Great Pyrenees, Bernedoodles, and standard Goldendoodles (including a memorable large mixed-breed named Hershey!). • High-Drive & Working Breeds: I have provided specialized care and regular walking schedules for high-needs working dogs, including a Doberman Pinscher, a Belgian Malinois, a Collie, and hyperactive Labrador retrievers. • Brachycephalic (Flat-Faced) Breeds: Experienced with the unique breathing, cooling, and care requirements of Bulldogs and Boston Terriers. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who needs careful handling on a leash, a giant breed who loves a slow and lazy stroll, or a senior dog needing strict medical routines, I adapt seamlessly to their specific breed traits and your family's preferences.

Ginny was great with my cats. Pictures every day and they were happy when I got home, not stressed at all. Thanks again!

Punctual and I can tell my pup enjoys the extra time out and about. He is calm and comfortable with Ginny.

Schedule

My schedule is highly flexible and primarily revolves around being home to provide dedicated care for your pets. The only commitments that require me to leave the house are normal daily routines and family activities, such as running out for groceries, visiting a local friend, or attending my children's sporting events. These outings are brief, though a weekend football game can occasionally keep me away for about 3 hours. If I ever have personal plans that require me to be away for longer than a few hours, I actively block my calendar as unavailable. Your dog will always enjoy a highly consistent routine with regular potty breaks and plenty of companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

Your peace of mind is my top priority. My home is a non-smoking household with a fully fenced, secure yard where your pup can safely play and explore. Because I have a natural calming energy, I excel with dogs experiencing separation anxiety, pacing, or nervousness when away from their owners. I am uniquely qualified to handle high-needs or behaviorally complex pets because I don't shy away from a challenge. My background includes: Advanced Medical Care: Confident and precise administration of both oral and injected medications. High-Energy & Reactive Management: Walking a Belgian Malinois twice a week and an incredibly hyper Lab mix three times a week means I am highly skilled at maintaining total control on leash walks, redirecting focus, and safely expending intense energy. Anxiety Management: Experienced in soothing destructive behaviors, chewing, or nervous energy with patience and structured routines. I maintain a 100% response rate and send consistent photo updates and Rover Cards so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.

Pets

A typical day

For Boarding guests, life at my house is a seamless blend of structure, safety, and love. A typical day revolves around frequent potty breaks every 2–4 hours in our fenced yard, followed by plenty of praise, mental stimulation, and affection. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and the beds—wherever they feel most secure and comfortable! I mirror your exact feeding and medication schedules to keep their routine flawless. For Drop-In Visits, I bring that same elite level of focus to your home. I drop in to check on your pets, provide fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and deliver whatever physical activity they prefer. Whether they want to burn off energy with short backyard sprints or just want a quiet companion to sit and cuddle with them on the rug, I follow their lead.

In case the inevitable happens and I need to bring one or two of my kids I would like to know if your pets are comfortable with 8-12 year old kids.
