Safety, trust & environment

In my client’s home, I carefully follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. If anything is unclear, I’ll always ask—communication is key! I treat your home with respect and make safety a top priority for both your pet and myself, creating a calm, reliable environment they can feel comfortable in.

Information Ingrid K. would like to know about your pet

I know pets can be naturally apprehensive about new people, and that is totally understandable! Please let me know of any medical conditions or behavioral traits that can help me provide a more comfortable interaction between your pet and I. Safety and communication is always my top priority!

A typical day

First and foremost is observing your pet’s body language and finding ways to make our interaction the most comfortable for them. Depending on your pet’s queues, we can find a stimulating activity to ease the mid-day boredom like a puzzle or small training session, some brushing to reduce stress and shedding, or playing with some of their favorite toys!

All about that cat empathy

Cat care experience

My first cat was when I was 5 years old and a black and white stray kitten was found in a bush in our front yard! I named him Oreo and I felt so blessed to finally care for my first cat. I’ve always been a cat lover as early as I can remember. The only books I checked out at the children’s library were cat-care books, much to my parents’ dismay. Fast forward 15 years and I can proudly say I’m a cat lover and also an animal lover. My dog Odie loves cats just like me and I think that says a lot. (Yes maybe I converted him into a cat-lover too). My philosophy is that all animals innately deserve the best care, and I would love to contribute to that care as best I can. Cats are one of the most misunderstood creatures, and if everyone could truly understand what it’s like to see the love and intelligence in cats, everyone would be so much less grouchy. With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and animals, I promise to bring my utmost compassion, respectfulness, and patience when it comes to caring for your cat. This comes on top of countless experience cleaning litter boxes, approaching cats calmly and gently, administering oral medication and eye care, engaging in a playful session of “catch”, and just showing them that everything is A okay. I’m here to be just another part of their chill cat routine, and most importantly making sure both cat and owner have their needs met!

Ingrid is fantastic! She’s super friendly, helpful, reliable and responsive. Our three cats loved her, and were happy with her visits. One of our cats is extremely shy and hides from 99% of people, and she took to Ingrid immediately (we are impressed!). We highly recommend working with Ingrid and are grateful for the excellent care she provided while we were away. Thanks so much!

Ingrid is great! She always does a fantastic job checking in on our dog. She is very punctual and has great communication. We will definitely keep using her and can highly recommended her after using her several times ourselves.

Ingrid was great with my cat for a long weekend, and provided detailed updates and great photos, followed all instructions, and was very pleasant to work with! Will book again :)
