Highlights
Pet care experience
Alki Beach Pet Parent Looking for ❤
Hi! I'm Ginny (they/she) and I looooove animals. I'm a pet parent to a 2 year old kitty, grew up with black labs, and have many animal nieces and nephews in my life. I get along with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and I especially like befriending shy animals. My day job is as a career coach with flexible hours, so my schedule can work around your needs. I'd describe myself as patient and warm, and I can't wait to care for your pet!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!
Virginia did a fantastic job following instructions and working super flexibly with us. Will definitely hire again! Thank you so much!
Our cats are generally pretty shy and anxious, but they came out to say hi and even cuddled and played with Virginia during her drop-in visits. I felt like the cats were very safe under her care through the pictures and notes left after each visit. The cats looked calm and relaxed, and the communication and details left about their eating habits calmed my nerves. The cats clearly liked Virginia because usually when we go on a trip for a day or two they are mad at us when we get back, but this time, even after 4 days the cats were clearly unfazed by us being gone and were just happy to see us. Whenever we go out of town next, we will be looking up Virginia again.
Ginny is AMAZING !!! I’m super careful about who I leave Rein with and I will most definitely be using Ginny again, I can’t recommend her enough! She sent plenty of updates & communicated super well. Rein is a little particular about some things and she catered to her every need. They got plenty of exercise and enrichment and Rein seemed so happy to be with Ginny. She’s made a new best friend for sure.
Ginny is responsible, communicative and thoughtful with people and animals. They are a wonderful cat parent and your own pets will be in great hands.
Ginny is extremely hardworking and dependable. I know my pets are always in great care when Ginny is watching them. I really enjoyed my time away from the pets—Ginny made it easy!! I can’t recommend Ginny enough.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm a career coach working fully remote with a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to spend time with your pets whenever is convenient for you.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
It's my goal to make sure your pet feels safe with me throughout our time together. For food motivated critters, I love to spoil them with treats, and for those with food intolerances (like my cat), I know that being patient and warm makes all the difference.
Pets
A typical day
I love a balance of cuddles and playtime! Whether we're going on long walks or playing with toys inside or outside, I'll make sure we get some good exercise before settling down for naps and quiet time.
