Furbabies deserve A+ care & love!
Pet care experience
"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!
Reviews
Truly amazing! Ingrid is everything you want in a sitter and more. She went above and beyond. Our fur babies were loved and well taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want someone you can trust with your beloved fur babies, go no further. Choose Ingrid. Thank you so much Ingrid!!!!!!
Ingrid was so kind and understanding with my situation and followed my instructions carefully. My one cat ending up loving her and when I returned home I could tell that he missed her! She gave me daily updates and really helped to ease my mind and not worry about my pets while I was traveling. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future support. She comes highly recommended by me!
Ingrid is such a great pet sitter! We took a week long international trip leaving our animals for the first time. She was so communicative which made me feel so at ease on the trip asked questions and made great decisions for the animals when needed! Feel so grateful to have found Ingrid as a pet sitter so I can now travel guilt free knowing my animals are safe and in great hands!!!
Good communicator which I love! I feel so grateful to have her watching my pets!!! I am new to this and I feel so comfortable with Ingrid coming to our home and the dogs are so comfortable as well!
About Ingrid H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an excellent communicator and provide prompt responses. I will notify you when I am en route to your home, have arrived, and when I depart (unless otherwise asked not to do so by you.) Additionally, I will notify you if/when I have relevant questions related to the safety and well-being of your pet(s) and home. I am vigilant at all times when at your home and during walks. I am trustworthy, honest, and reliable.
Information Ingrid H. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
During walks, I love to engage in brisk walks in your furbaby's neighborhood, encouraging s/he to release energy, explore, and get plenty of good sniffs in. After our walk, s/he will be provided with fresh water, pets/cuddles, and if s/he is feeling up to it, I will encourage s/he to engage in game-play such as fetch, tug-of-war, search & find, etc.
