Pet care experience
Walks with Heart,Care You Can Trust
Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for over 13 years. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends, family, and others who have trusted me with their pets. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs, and I approach each one with patience, consistency, and kindness. My experience includes daily walks, exercise, mental stimulation, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing calm, reliable care, especially for dogs who need extra reassurance or structure. I have firsthand experience working with shelter dogs and understand how important trust and routine are in helping dogs feel safe and confident. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make each walk or visit a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a very meticulous person and strongly believe that a clean environment is a safe environment. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I prioritize cleanliness, organization, and consistency to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I keep living spaces tidy, food and water areas clean, and ensure toys, leashes, and resting areas are safe and well-maintained. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and comfort level, adjusting care as needed to reduce stress and promote well-being. My goal is to provide calm, dependable care in a clean, structured environment so pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home, no matter where they are.
Ratings and reviews
Ina was incredible with my pup. Multiple neighbors asked me for her info because they wanted her to look after their dogs. Very responsive and attentive.
I cannot recommend Ina highly enough as a dog walker and dog sitter. She is truly exceptional with animals and treat every dog as if it were her own. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear how deeply they care—not just about meeting basic needs, but about each dog’s comfort, happiness, and emotional well-being. Ina is reliable, attentive, and incredibly patient. She takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and quirks, ensuring they feel safe and loved while in her care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feedings, or administering special instructions, I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable and compassionate hands. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine love for animals. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Ina caring for their dog—I wholeheartedly trust her and recommend her without hesitation.
Ina and her daughter, Sophie, are the most kind people I know. They would care for my German shepherd in so many ways. They would walk him regularly (sometimes more than once a day!), play with him, and they even gave him oral medication if it was needed. I would trust them again with my pup. They seriously are the best!

Schedule
Pet sitting and dog walking fit perfectly into my current schedule. We recently moved to the area, and at this time I am not pursuing full-time employment so I can settle in, explore the community, and maintain a flexible daily routine. All of my children are in school, and my own dogs are on a consistent schedule with early morning walks and daily exercise starting around 5:00 AM. This routine allows me to be fully present for my pets first thing in the morning while freeing up a large portion of my day for additional walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Because of this structure, I am reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate daytime and early afternoon care with consistency and attention. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and my schedule allows me to provide unhurried, attentive care to every animal I work with.
