Ginger is hands down the most skilled and caring pet angel I've ever had. She came into our life when my dog, Blue, was 19 years old. He had health issues but was still active, happy, and enjoying life. He adored Ginger the minute he met her. Ginger walked Blue almost daily and sent full updates that included beautiful photos. She expertly managed his meds and reactivity toward other dogs. When I got home from work, he was relaxed and happy. When Blue's health declined the following year, I worried about leaving him to go to work but was reassured knowing that Ginger would be checking on him. I could trust her judgement on how he was doing and knew she would let me know right away if he needed something. When it was time for Blue to pass on, Ginger was so compassionate and caring during this difficult time. Ginger has a deep connection with animals and an amazing combination of common sense, intelligence, skill, positivity, and kindness. Your fur babies will be in good hands! --Ginger also happens to be a gifted artist and creates pet portraits. She did a beautiful portrait of Blue and everyone who sees it remarks that she truly captured his personality.

• Dog sitting (in-home)

Ginger watched our dog when we went on vacation, and it was one of the first times we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about her. Not only did she take the time to get to know our pet’s routines and preferences, but she truly treated her as if she was her own. When we got home from vacation, our dog was not nervous or stressed at all, just happy to see us. Ginger accommodated Foxy’s food preferences, took her on multiple walks and handled her with the expertise of years of experience. In addition to taking excellent care of our dog, she also took great care of our house. She watered plants and picked up mail and left our home clean. I would highly recommend Ginger if you want a trustworthy and loving caretaker for your precious pet!

We have been relying on Ginger to care for our kitty for many years. She is loving, kind, and deeply in tune with kitties. We feel completely confident leaving our darling feline friend in her care, whether it is for a couple of days at our place, or a week or more at her fabulous “kitty spa” in NE Portland, complete with a wide array or toys, warm resting places, kitty heating pads, and Ginger’s generous TLC. She provides reassuring photos and videos daily, and activities that reflect her love and appreciation of our precious pet. Our cat is clearly content and well loved after spending time with Ginger. Highly recommend!

I’ve been very happy with Ginger’s services since I started hiring her to catsit about 6 months ago. You can tell she really cares about animals and always goes above and beyond. My cat loves her daily visits, and I love the photo and video updates that Ginger sends every day. She even made a very beautiful portrait of my cat! I appreciate that she very actively engages with my cat, with activities including catnip parties, brushing sessions, daily Churu treats, and lots of playtime with various toys. I wholeheartedly recommend Ginger’s services for anyone who wants peace of mind that their cat is safe and happy while they’re out of town.

Ginger was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our cats when we went on a trip recently. It’s never easy leaving our cats behind when we’re traveling, but working with Ginger definitely helped to put our minds at ease!

We first met Ginger at a cat hotel nine years ago and she took such good care of our two cats that she left a lasting impression! We wanted Ginger to cat sit for us but we were out of the service area. We were so happy when Ginger moved last year and we were in her service area! Ginger is the best cat sitter ever! She is our go to and the one we trust the most. Our cat family has grown to six (we recently rescued two kittens) and she is the only one we trust to handle all six and their complex needs and feeding schedule. She gives medicine and gives all of them individual attention. She treats our pets like they are her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of and even have some fun! She always leaves a detailed report on what she’s done for the cats and provides some extra goodies for us and them. She makes recommendations for what they need and what would make them happier and healthier. We always learn from her! On top of it all Ginger does cat and dog portraits and has done six for us. She included two cats on a greeting card set and also on a calendar she makes. She also takes very good pictures of them and communicates frequently while we are away. She is a very talented artist and genuinely loves cats. We strongly recommend Ginger!

Ginger cares for my Chauncey as if he were her own. She truly loves animals (especially cats and dogs!). My guy is needier than most and Ginger really is not only okay with that but enjoys the extra attention! Also great communication while away with regular updates and super cute photos of him having fun with her.

Ginger watched my cat Eros recently and she did a fantastic job! Eros was not pleased with me when I left for a trip recently, and he is a recent addition to the household. Prior to sitting for Eros, Ginger came over to the house to meet Eros, and asked detailed questions about his routine. She also had helpful information about different wet food to try with him. While away, she sent me regular check in videos and photos. Eros was clearly engaged with her and enjoying lots of playtime and catnip! I really appreciated Ginger's attention to detail and to Eros. It was great to feel that someone was so attentive to Eros while I was away. Thank you, Ginger!
