Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, loving care for your pet!
Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. I can also do dog park visits if requested. Since I work a full time job from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! *Starting June 2026, for any house sitting requests I will be unable to stay over in the clients home. I am able to house sit any time during the day and stay with your pet as long or as little as needed, however, if you need me more than one day at a time, I will leave your place at night around 10pm and return in the morning around 630-7am.*

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every pet. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, so your pet stays comfortable and on their normal schedule. I stay aware on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust care based on your dog’s energy level, temperament, and any medical needs. I also keep your home clean and secure so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Our pups were well taken care of and loved while we were gone. I felt completely at ease while on vacation.
Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.
Absolutely incredible very prompt. Took real good care of our pet would use her again absolutely.
Ingrid is great! She has taken care of my dog like it's her own. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Ingrid is a dog lover for sure. When I went to meet her the first time, she came out with 5 large dogs surrounding her .... and she had all of them under control. I found her concern to keep my pet's regular schedule to be a sign that she understood how important routine meant to my pup. They got along fine and I've used her time and time again. I've gone for long weekends and even week long holidays and she was always able to accommodate my pup's needs.
I have three dogs ... two older dachshunds and one special needs Pomeranian. I travel a lot and just couldn't disrupt their comfort to put them in a kennel. They are a handful because they are slow and needy. Ingrid warmed up to them immediately, spent extra time to give them attention they deserved while I was away. According to the neighbors, she was always there at the time she said she would be. When she came over to discuss other dates in the future, the dogs perked up and were happy to see her. I could tell they felt comfortable with her and looked forward to her coming. Completely trustworthy!

Schedule
I work a full time job from home, so I am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs throughout the day. I am used to taking care of pets so following a routine comes easy for me. My work schedule is flexible, making it easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule you may need for your pet.
