Pet care experience

Furbabies deserve A+ care & love!

"Must love dogs" - that has been a saying of mine for quite some time. However, 11 years ago, after meeting my spouse and his elderly cat, my motto quickly changed to "must love dogs AND cats." <3 Since my 10th birthday, I have been a faithful dog walker. I am grateful for my parents who instilled in me the importance of daily dog walking. Once on my own, my spouse and I adopted our beagle-mix, Ollie, in November, 2018 from a local animal shelter. Adopting Ollie brought immediate joy and companionship to our lives and the sayings, "who adopted who," or "who saved who," continue to resonate with us. Later, in 2022, we rescued two sibling kittens, Myrtle and Newt. Walking Ollie around my neighborhood continues to be a consistent part of my life. I feel confident providing this for your dog(s) as well! I adore my pets and enjoy each of their unique personalities, love, and affection. I appreciate and look forward to having the opportunity to share my love and expertise with your beloved furbaby!

Ingrid did a great job with both of our pups! On time, spent the entire 30 minutes with them playing, feeding, watering, and making sure there were no messes. Our second time using her and we are just as satisfied as the last time. Gives us a peace of mind while we are gone out of town to know that someone who cares about our boys is taking care of them.

Relevant, important information is to know how your dog reacts to new people, any places/locations/animals to avoid when walking, owner's preferred procedures on what I should do if s/he has an accident in the house, how much does s/he eat, energy levels, any special needs (vision/hearing/balance/strength concerns) and any behaviors to be cognizant of.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
