Pet care experience

EX MEDIC/CREATURE CARER😻

I was a medic for several years & was trained to Pramedic level and advanced skills by ExxonMobil. Thus working in both the private and industrial sector which harnessed advanced emergency medical training ie. WMD, hazmat and fire skills. I am perfectly suited to care for pets with any medical conditions and function well under extreme pressure, should ANY unforseen circumstances arise. I have been a member of another national pet sitting site for more than five years before working for 'Rover', securing ongoing clients across the states, including an adorable diabetic dog in LA and two gorgeous cats in NYC. I work well with & have owned/been around many different animals. Per photos. As a teenager I walked several breeds of working dogs, English Boarder collie farm herders, military/police Alsations, whippets, greyhounds & prize hunting dogs. I have sat or owned most breeds and work well with large animals, especially Great Danes, Huskies & horses. XXX I am educated to Masters level, I also bring a natural knack for DIY & have green fingers, so your home and babies will be in good pragmatic hands. Thank you for reading. XXX

Safety, trust & environment

I am fully vaccinated + boosted x 4. I am professionally trained in PPE and maintaining a clean/healthy environment. As a former medic, 'Exxon Mobil' process Operator, Prison Guard, civilian media trainer for 'Fort Polk' US army officers & having dual nationality, I have undergone extensive background and security checks. Thus my character has legitimately been guaranteed by 'Homeland Security' and other federal entities. In the past I have looked after many houses & pets of friends and employers in the UK, Thailand, Germany & now the USA. Also, whilst studying and travelling before going to university I have been a live in nanny and a part time professional house cleaner. Both jobs required being entrusted with access to large private homes and the care of their loved ones. Moreover, as a home owner and neat freak, I have a high respect for others property and privacy. This is a big decision to entrust a stranger with your private space & loved ones, so please feel free to ask me any questions that will help you feel at ease & allow you to enjoy your time away from your own sanctuary and creature family.

Ingrid was great for our two cats and dog while we were gone for two weeks. Not only did she take care of the animals but she also looked after the house. Animals were way happier being at home and the house was spotless when we returned. Definitely plan to use her again.

Ingrid is the best. She is our go to for dog sitting. She takes care of our boys as if they are her own. Her experience and knowledge really showed over the 4th of July week as our husky has a hard time with fireworks. She helped him feel more at ease during through out the week when the fireworks were constantly going off. She also made sure to communicate with us during this time so that we knew he was doing alright. We love Ingrid and our boys love her as well. We will definitely continue to keep booking her!
