Experienced and Loving Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

*After 13 wonderful years in the pet sitting business, I am retiring from Rover/pet sitting as of January 12, 2026. I'm looking to slow down life a little and just be present with my cats and my significant other who I'll be moving in with. Still happy to accept new clients, just with the understanding I can't be a permanent sitter* I'm a pet sitter of 13 years, starting from family/friend favors and turning it into a business where I can meet wonderful people and their equally wonderful pets. I'm a big animal lover who treats pets like my own (I'm a proud owner of two tuxedo cat girlies). I also work from home with the exception of two days per month, so you can count on me being present enough to provide fairly regular supervision and care. If plans change, no worries! My cancellation policy is fairly flexible. - Pet parent cancellations are subject to a cancellation fee according to Rover policies. But I'm happy to waive the fee as a one-time courtesy as long as it's 48+ hours before the stay. - Refunds: If a cancellation is *before noon* the day before a stay starts, you'll receive a full refund. Cancellations starting *after noon* the day before will get a 50% refund. Additional info to read before requesting me: - I can't accept stays exceeding 7 days/6 nights. I also don't accept bookings back-to-back. My cats miss me. - I'm not available for the major year-end holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, and NYE/Day). Thanks for your understanding! I get dragged around too much during holidays. - Potty trained dogs only, please! My work requires a certain level of concentration, and I'm not a trainer.

Jinger is a great housesitter and cat whisperer. We came home to a clean house and relaxed, happy kitties. She is also a good communicator: I appreciated getting lots of photos and notes to see that my guys were doing fine while we were away. Highly recommend!

So glad we found Jinger to hang with our two golden retriever boys while we went out of town. They loved playing ball with her in the backyard each day and we are so grateful to her for keeping up with a high-maintenance eye drop regimen while we were away.

Written notes help me remember things, and allow me to follow your care instructions to the last punctuation mark. I will also treat your home with respect, and will restore it to how I found it (making the bed, put away used dishes, etc).

Information Jinger J. would like to know about your pet

1. Does your pet have medical needs? Please know I have worked with pets who need oral meds or eye drops, but I'm not an expert in special needs animals. If you're willing to teach, I'm willing to learn. 2. Potty trained dogs only, please! My job does require a certain level of concentration, and I don't know how to potty train. 3. Quirks! Does your pet tend to get into things they shouldn't like trash cans or other belongings like socks? Do I need to make sure counters stay clean because of counter-surfers? Let me know about things to watch out for!

A typical day

If there is a backyard I'll let them run around there as much as they want. Does your dog need daily walks? No problem! We'll take a nice long stroll around the neighborhood or a dog park if you have one nearby. Other than that, we'll couch potato it up while they snooze away or chew on their toys.
