Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Ingrid, a passionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve served many dog owners, offering personalized care that caters to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping anxious pups feel at ease or ensuring pets with special diets are happy and healthy, I go the extra mile to ensure your furry family members feel safe and loved while you're away. While traveling, I've had the opportunity to petsit and care for pets and homes across Canada, the U.S., and Australia, building trust with pet owners who value my reliability and genuine love for animals. Now based in beautiful Squamish, I live in a pet-friendly townhouse with plenty of space for playtime and relaxation. There’s also a peaceful park and a forest nearby where dogs can run and explore freely. I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment to your pet. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry companions and give them the same love and attention they deserve!
Reviews
Ingrid took great care of our dog and sent us lots of photos while we were away to keep us up to date on what they were up to. Would definitely recommend!
Ingrid stayed with our dog, Oscar, overnight in our home. Oscar was treated with the same amount of love and care that I would give to him. Ingrid took him on multiple hikes and gave him the same amount of cuddles that he is used to. She even introduced him to a new dog friend called Emma. When we returned home, Oscar looked very happy and our house was in immaculate condition. Ingrid took her job of caring for Oscar and our home very seriously. I will not hesitate to reach out to Ingrid in the future to care for Oscar and our home. I actually think Oscar is ready for us to go away again ;) Thank you, Ingrid!
Ingrid took care of our dog, Ziggy, for three weeks while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with her service. Ziggy is typically reserved around new people and takes time to warm up, but she took to Ingrid immediately. Ingrid went above and beyond to ensure Ziggy felt safe and loved during our absence. We greatly appreciated the regular photo updates she sent from their walks and time spent together at home. Returning to a clean house was a bonus, and it was evident that Ziggy had a fantastic time with Ingrid, as she was visibly sad to see her go. We highly recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Ziggy misses her already!
I met Ingrid M in the fall through TrustedHousesitters. I found her experience very much to my satsifaction so she house and pet sat from Oct. 13 - Nov. 6/23. I got updates about my kitty, Niko, throughout her stay. Everything was in perfect order when I got home and, although Niko was very happy to see me, he certainly had obviously been well looked after - which isn't necesarily a given with him as he was a rescue and can be very standoffish. As a wonderful bonus for me, I arrived back in Vancouver on one of its filthy wet days - and Ingrid picked me up at the Seabus and brought me home. And, she is returning to look after the house and Niko for another week. I think this speaks for itself. Would I recommend Ingrid? Yes.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized pet care in both my home and my clients' homes, ensuring a safe and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have a pet-friendly townhouse with ample space for play and relaxation, along with access to nearby parks and trails where we can explore together. When caring for pets, I prioritize their individual needs, whether that means adhering to specific dietary requirements, providing extra attention for anxious pets, or maintaining their usual routines. I also ensure that each pet feels secure and loved, whether they’re enjoying group walks on the trails or receiving one-on-one attention at home. Communication is key, so I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages to reassure them that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive and nurturing experience for both pets and their owners.
Information Ingrid M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to gather important information about their personality, routine, dietary restrictions, and any medical needs to ensure I provide the best care possible. Additionally, knowing their favorite activities and behavioral quirks allows me to tailor my approach, making their experience enjoyable and stress-free while you're away.
A typical day
I provide enriching experiences for the pets I care for by taking them on outdoor adventures like group hikes and trail walks in Squamish, as well as engaging in playtime and fun training sessions. I also promote socialization through supervised playdates and ensure plenty of relaxation and cuddles for a comforting environment. My goal is to create a joyful and fulfilling stay for each pet, leaving them happy and ready for their owners' return!

Availability
I'm quite active and enjoy regular walks throughout the day, which is even more enjoyable with a dog by my side! As a professional dog walker, I often take groups of up to six dogs on adventures in the mountains and forests. If there’s space available, your pup can join in on the fun! I also offer individual walks for dogs who prefer a quieter experience, so rest assured, I can accommodate their needs.
