WOW! What an OUTSTANDING dog sitter. We found her almost at the last minute on Thumbtack when a family member who was expected to watch our beloved pug bailed on us. And she responded to my inquiry within 30 minutes and then almost always within a few minutes. She's a young retired woman who does this as an avocation in this stage of her life because she loves animals so. She texted and sent a picture each time she came to our house to walk and care for her. What a blessing to now have her as an extended family member to care for her in our home when we're out of town!!!

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better care of my beloved pets. Ginger visited at length with me before we left for vacation, took notes, and asked many questions. She didn’t just feed my pets, but truly cared for my African Gray Parrot, my cat, and my stinker of a dog. She was punctual and made lengthy visits as expected. She sent photos via text at every visit. She was respectful of our home, brought in mail and packages, and made certain the house was secure. I not only found an amazing pet sitter but felt like I also gained a sweet friend.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Ginger was an exceptional dog sitter to our three boys! She sent pictures each morning, was kind and sweet while interacting with them and she was observant and shared her thoughts. She was extremely professional and we would definitely recommend her! We plan to use her again in the future.

Ginger was excellent! She kept me updated with the cats, texting me photos and letting me know how things were going. It was very reassuring to know they were being taken good care of and received loving during my absence. I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.

Your kitties were a joy to get to know. They were always happy to see me and we had a lot of fun.
