Our Roots

Gingr's History

Gingr’s story began in a bustling dog daycare and boarding business. Amid sticky notes, paper calendars and whiteboards, the general manager partnered with a talented software developer who frequently brought his dogs, including his beloved Ginger, to the daycare. Together, they envisioned a better way to manage pet-care businesses.
