Pet care experience
Hello there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Ingrid, an avid animal lover, who has a sweet spot for canines. I have had years of experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have worked at boarding facilities and still actively train dogs in both sport and basic obedience. So here is where I come in! I offer: house-sitting services, drop-in visits, walks, hikes, and bath services. My experience not only with my dog, but also in boarding and training settings has given me a lot of practice in pet care. Working in the human healthcare field, I also strive to individualize the care I provide to ensure your pet is comfortable. Whether your pet has special needs, is reactive, needs extra time to warm up, or anything else, you can trust that I will be gentle and patient with them. In our time together, building that extra special bond with your pet is of my utmost importance!
Reviews
Ingrid is incredible. Not only did she take amazing care of our dogs, she left the home spotless and even washed her sheets for us! We would absolutely have her stay at our place again and recommend her for being great with dogs but people too!
Ingrid did an amazing job with Chester! She sent lots of updates, pictures, and notes on how he was doing! He seemed so happy with her and she left the place spotless!
Ingrid was fantastic! She looked after our home and our dog for the weekend, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. She was quick to respond to our emails, she came to our home to meet our dog and meet with us a couple of weeks before the dog sitting gig, arrived on time the day of and provided us with frequent updates and pictures while we were away. Not only did she leave our home clean and tidy, but she even washed her bedding and towels before we arrived home. We warmly recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter, and we will definitely use her services again in the future.
Ingrid was a very responsible, independent and reliable dog sitter! She left our house even better than she found it and our dog was very well cared for! We got lots of pictures and updates, which was perfect!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets strive on a routine. To ensure they are most comfortable in the time you are away, I aim to keep them on a consistent routine and adjust to whatever needs they may have. I request of a history of your pet’s behaviours, your contact information, your pet’s vet contact information, and special instructions if required. I will ensure special care instructions are followed closely. Should an emergency occur, the situation will be promptly dealt with, and you can expect me to promptly get in touch with you (the pet parent), your pet’s vet, as well as Rover. You can also expect regular photo and text updates of your furry friend while under my care. If I am dropping in or house-sitting, you can trust your house will be in tip-top shape as well.
Home
Information Ingrid M. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any special needs such as mobility issues, specific gear required, etc. please let me know. I would also need to know if your pet has any resource guarding, reactivity, or aggression. I have experience with different breeds of all sizes, so knowing this can help me ensure your dog is safe and most comfortable while under my care!
A typical day
Depending on your dog’s needs, I will focus on activities they enjoy. A typical day will consist of both mental stimulation, such as by playing with puzzles or learning a new trick, and physical stimulation, such as by playing tug or fetch and of course going on walks. I typically like taking my pups on walks by a trail or in the city, but that is location and dog behaviour dependent! Either way, I will ensure your dog is set up for success and is having tons of fun! For cats, the same would be applied. Taking the time to make them feel comfortable with me and giving them an extra fun experience is my goal. Whether that be going on neighbourhood walks, playing with interactive toys, relaxing on a couch together, or anything else, you can trust your cat’s needs are met and that they have a great time with me.
