Is this causative structure right?

I have her do(bare infinitve) the dishes. - causative form

I got her to fix(infinitive) the car-causative form

I wish I had someone thinking(gerund) about me- I didnt know causative form could have gerund. Is this sentence correct? Can a causative form have gerund?
