Highlights
Pet care experience
Self declared dog & cat whisperer
What sets me apart is my background in dog grooming. I recently completed a grooming course in Peru and now work as a pet bather at PetSmart, on my way to becoming a certified dog stylist. Because I groom dogs, I’ve learned to notice the small signs — like tense body language or lip licking — that show a dog is getting anxious, so I can step in and calm them down before it becomes a bigger issue. On top of that, I live with my own senior chihuahua, a young high-energy Shepherd mix, and a cat, so I’m already used to handling very different personalities and energy levels day to day.

Safety, trust & environment
With my own dogs, I walk them three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—for at least 15 minutes to keep them active and happy. If time allows, I enjoy taking longer walks depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. During the week, I also like taking them to a park or somewhere new so they can explore and smell new things for enrichment. At home, I always make time to play with them and keep them mentally stimulated. For my cat, I have a cat tree and several scratching posts around the house so they stay comfortable and entertained. When caring for a client’s pet, I make sure to follow their routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions so their pet feels safe and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Ingrid was an absolute gem taking care of my puppy Arya! She went above and beyond, even taking Arya out for walks and sending regular photo updates throughout the day, which put my mind completely at ease. She’s warm, friendly, and clearly loves what she does. Arya was well cared for and happy the whole time. I’d recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely treats your pup like family.

Schedule
I work full-time but I’m off at 5pm every day, which gives me time for afternoon walks, drop-in visits, and feedings right after work. I also have 2 days off during the week where I’m available any time of day for longer visits or sits. And since I’m a night owl, I’m happy to help pet parents who get home late — I can handle late-night walks or check-ins when other sitters might not be available. I’m also able to keep a consistent daily schedule, so your pet can count on the same routine they’re used to.
