Quality and sincere care for all!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ingrid. I’ve had about 8 years animal handling/pet sitting experience. I have also worked in an animal hospital for the last 5 years where I was a dog walker and kennel worker. In that role, I was in charge of walking, feeding, and medicating dogs and cats while they were boarded at our facility. I am a now a vet tech/assistant where I monitor vital signs and administer medications- SQ, by mouth, in the ear, IV and IM. I have experience handling animals of any and all ages and breeds. So I welcome any pet for quality care. I am going to be Pet First Aid trained and working toward CPR certification as well.
Reviews
Ingrid is a caring and reliable cat sitter. Our cat really enjoys the time she spends with her while I am on travel
Our cat really enjoys time spent with Ingrid. Ingrid does a great job tending to the cat’s needs and gives our cat the company that she needs while we are away from home
Ingrid was wonderful to work with. Super responsive and personable. We would love to have Ingrid watch our kitties again!
I felt so good having Ingrid care for my two cats while I was out if the country for a week. She is knowledgeable, professional and very considerate. It was great to get her daily updates. Thanks Ingrid!
About Ingrid H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Due to renting issues, I am not able to offer care at my place yet! Once I have my own place, I would love to provide my space for any pet if needed. In a client’s home, I would be super respectful of the space and clean up after myself. I tend to wash any bowls or dishes I use for the pets. If available, I like to recycle any cans of wet food if shown where to place it.
Information Ingrid H. would like to know about your pet
I think it is important to know about any medical condition that could present during a visit or walk so I can be aware of any special treatments or handling that will help accommodate the situation. Any behavioral issues are also a big concern such as : food aggression, leash manners, or dog reactivity. Knowing this will let me be able to handle any sudden unexpected incidents so I can calm the dog (or cat) and reduce stress.
A typical day
I enjoy peaceful and engaging walking routines such as JP Pond, Arnold Arboretum and the Emerald Necklace where we can stroll at our leisure or get some energy out. But I am happy to walk along a preferred neighborhood route so it gives me opportunity to see a new area and so your pet is comfortable.
