About Paw & Presence
A neighbor who genuinely loves your pets.
Hi I'm Ginger. Animals have been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember. From childhood onward, I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals and a deep appreciation for the unique personalities, needs, and unconditional companionship they bring into our lives. My lifelong love for animals is at the heart of what I do today. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with patience, kindness, respect, and genuine care. Whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for a little extra love and attention, I strive to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and valued. For me, caring for animals isn’t simply a job it’s something I truly enjoy and feel grateful to do. I’m honored to build relationships with the animals in my care and to earn the trust of the people who love them. My goal is simple: to provide compassionate, dependable care while giving every animal the same love and attention I would want for my own.

How it started
I've been caring for animals my whole life. Growing up with dogs, cats, and the occasional stray that wandered into our yard. What started as helping friends watch their pets turned into a calling I couldn't ignore.
After years of working with animals in Shasta & LA County, I launched Paw & Presence to offer something different: unhurried, one-on-one care in your home, with real communication and genuine affection for every animal I meet.
I'm locally rooted, and deeply committed to making sure both you and your pet feel at ease every single visit.
