Animal lover with nearby park!
Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm in Delaware and always had pets: from cats to dogs to chickens to ferrets to a pig! This is the first time I’ve not had a pet in my life and I would love to help you care for yours! I’ve cared for small dogs like dachshunds to big dogs like a French mastiff. I’m flexible and can be available at different times during the week, as I work from home from time to time, so feel free to ask me anything. I also recently started volunteering in the cat kennel at the animal shelter in Oakland, RBARI. I currently live in a two floor townhouse and the community has its own dog areas. My street is very quiet and not busy; there is also a hiking trail down the road if your pup is more adventurous! I will add an additional 20% charge to last-minute boarding/sitting requests within 24 hours.
Reviews
Gina loves her stays with Ingrid!
Ingrid was very responsive and provided us with updates throughout our dog’s stay. Our dog seemed to have a good time and was very comfortable around her.
Ingrid was wonderful. Her communication was very good, she gave updates and a pic and a video of our dog. She was easy going, listened well, took care to meet our dog to make sure they were compatible and she was a pleasure to deal with. Look forward to using her again. Our dog is an energic dog who requires exercises otherwise can be a bit troublesome... Ingrid had no problem! Everything was good!
This was our first trip in a long while. A year ago, we adopted a small rescue dog, who came with a number of issues, one of which is fear of strangers. I had spent a year working gently with him and wanted to take this opportunity to have him live with a total stranger for a couple of days. Our cats are accustomed to pet sitters and would not be a problem. Ingrid was a great fit: she was able to get Hoshi into his harness and get him to walk outside. He refused to eat the first day, also did not do what he needed to do. Ingrid faithfully reported what was going on, sent us pictures of the "kid", and we communicated throughout. I think that I was more nervous than we was. Ingrid was raised on a farm as a child and she knew how to handle this "challenged" dog. At some point, I left a text message and she called me immediately, to re-assure me. Upon our return, the house was left in a spotless condition, all my suggestions had been applied, very neat. We will hire Ingrid again in a heartbeat. She is intelligent, resourceful, a pet lover, who also remains calm. A quality person on many levels.
