Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of love & time to give
Work from home dog lover who operates a warm and caring dog care service from my well-equipped dog friendly home. Living with two or more dogs has been a constant joy throughout my life, fostering a deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. With a certification as a Dog companion/volunteer from ARL (Animal Rescue League), Fostering for a local Rescue and four years of experience in dog boarding, I bring a wealth of knowledge and affection to ensure every dog in my care feels comfortable and loved. Your canine companion is in good hands with me—I provide a safe, nurturing environment for dogs to thrive while their owners are away. From playtime to relaxation, I tailor each stay to meet the unique needs of every furry guest. Contact me for a meet and greet!

Ratings and reviews
Ginny was so great with Ollie! She was patient, kind, and understanding about my nervousness and his quirky qualities! We will definitely be back to see Ginny!
Our two love staying with Ginny - next best thing to being at home! Thanks!!
My dog was very happy with Ginny! She was a great communicator and extremely flexible!
We had Ginny watch our two dogs for a vacation. One of our little guys is a senior boy and we are picky about who we leave him with. We knew during our meet and greet that she was the perfect and we could trust her with his care. Both of them settled in really well and we could tell when we picked them up they had a great week! They were very happy and could see they had a great visit. Ginny is a dog lover and the setup in her home is very accommodating. They had access to her lovely backyard and comfortable spaces inside. We won’t hesitate to ask Ginny to watch our boys again.
Ginny did a great job of taking care of Levi over the course of 4 nights and days. She provided pictures and updates of Levi throughout his stay at her home. Ginny made sure that Levi's needs were met. Ginny is very loving towards pets and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.
Ginny was great! Quick with communication, sent updates, and my pup came home happy as could be!

A typical day
Dogs can go in and out whenever they wish to play in a large fenced in back yard. I typically do a morning walk and an afternoon walk. Very flexible and can fit in other requested activities and special care.
