Highlights
Pet care experience
College student excited to help!
Hi! I'm Inga, a psychology student at the University of San Francisco with a huge love for animals. I grew up caring for pets (labs, doodles, and mixes) and have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and cats. Whether I'm working with an energetic young pup or a gentle older companion, I bring the same patience, attention, and genuine love to every animal. Although I can't bring your pets back to my apartment, I can come to yours for drop-in visits, walks, or check-ins to make sure your pet is happy, fed, and well cared for while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment
Since I offer drop in visits and dog walking services, I can come directly to your pet's home where they are most comfortable and at ease. During drop in visits, I'll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets plenty of love and attention, and I'll tidy up any messes. For walks, I'll keep your dog safely leashed, allow them to sniff and explore at their own pace, and tailor the walk length and energy level to suit their needs. I'll always send photo and activity updates so you can stay connected with your pet while you're away!
Ratings and reviews
Inga was lovely! It was so easy to communicate with her - she asked good questions to make sure things went smoothly, was timely, and took great care of my two dogs. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her to others!
If you asked Gryffin what he thought of Inga, you’d probably get a big tail wag and a very enthusiastic vote of approval. 💗 She cared for him over several days with genuine responsibility, reliability, and kindness, and it was clear he trusted her completely. Gryffin was a pretty chill dog who liked most people—but he was especially happy with Inga. As his human, the peace of mind she gave me meant everything. 🐾
Inga is my best friend and the most loving person of pets you will ever meet. She has looked after my dog many, many times and always makes sure to not just walk and feed him but hang around, play with him, keep him company, and of course give him lots of pets and snuggles. She genuinely loves animals and, being one of the kindest people I know, could simply sit and pet a dog all day if she thought it made the dog happy. I could not recommend her more for your service. She will treat all animals she comes into contact with with the utmost respect and love, as she treats her own dog at home. She is also a very responsible person and would never be late to or forget to take care of a pet. I know she would approach this job with an appreciation of how and why it’s important, and also with a lot of joy and fun!
Inga does a wonderful job caring for our Gryffin. She essentially treated him as one of her own. He got regular walks, lots of loves and we got photos and updates throughout our trip. We would most certainly use Inga again in the future as the need dictates and highly recommend her.
Inga has taken care of our two dogs and two cats for a few weeks, which allowed for our family to take a vacation. During that time, Inga attended to many tasks, such as feedings, cleaning cat litter daily, taking the dogs for walks, and also outside time in the yard playing with both dogs. Inga also gave lots of love and cuddles to our furry family members while we were away. She also kept a check on the house during the winter months. It is with great confidence that I write this testimonial in support of Inga for any perspective opportunities in working with your four-legged family members.
Inga is a true animal lover with a big heart! She has been very responsible in taking care of our dogs-- walking, feeding, giving medicine and providing lots of love and hugs (and the occasional bushy eyebrow trim :)! Inga is very kind person, a good communicator, responsible, very conscientious and able to follow instructions. She has done a great job with handling any issues with our pets and has always kept us in the know too. I highly recommend Inga to provide your pets with lots of love and attention, and you with peace of mind that your pet is being well cared for.

Schedule
Since I am a student, I do have class mid-day on weekdays, however I have time to walk and check-in on your animals around the city before and after class (mornings and evenings), as well as the weekends! - Anytime Saturday or Sunday - Tuesdays and Thursday mornings - All evenings
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsInga can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- To give every pet the best care possible, it helps to know about any medical conditions or medications, feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, behavioral quirks or triggers, how they do with other animals and strangers, any commands or routines they're used to, and emergency vet information. The more I know upfront, the smoother and safer the stay will be!
