Basic cat care and socialization: I will feed your cat and take care of their water and litter according to your instructions. I will also engage your cat in play, affection and interaction, if they're in the mood. You will receive notes and photos via Rover cards for each visit. You will also receive a photo of a thorough end of visit checklist for each visit to ensure the safety and security of your cat(s) and home. Home care: I am also happy to get the mail, adjust your thermostat, water plants, etc. so that you have peace of mind while you're away. I will dispose of dirty litter and other trash daily. I will also clean up cat related messes such as hairballs, etc. I am happy to monitor health issues and report my observations about your cat's behavior, feeding, output, etc. In the event of a medical emergency, I will contact you immediately and reach out to Rover's emergency support team. Rover will connect me with a vet tech via phone. Please see the "Rover Guarantee" for more information. In the event a cat needs to go to the vet, I can accompany your cat via Uber (client to pay charges) at the rate of two one hour long drop in visits. I highly recommend that you contact your vet ahead of time to give them your credit card and give your vet the name of your trusted emergency contact or myself.
Information Ingrid P. would like to know about your pet
Just in case, it's important to know your emergency contact information and plan. I am very careful with keys but it's also a good idea for someone to have a back up set of keys. I also recommend having keys for your back entrance in case of emergency. Key lock boxes are preferred and greatly appreciated. I would like to know all the details of your cat's diet and how you would like their litter taken care of. Please let me know if their are any health symptoms or behaviors I should keep an eye on. I'm also interested to know about their favorite toy or toys, what kind of play they like and what kind of pets/touch they like and dislike.
A typical day
Socialization and play vary depending on the cat. For energetic, playful cats, I'll do a more vigorous play session. For shy or stressed cats, I'll often read to them or just sit peacefully. Friendly or shy, I love them all!

Pet care experience
Greetings fellow cat parents, I strive to provide the highest level of care to my feline clients and the highest level of service to my human clients. As a lifelong cat person and mom of a rescue cat, I am delighted to care for my clients' cats and homes! It is my goal to always be conscientious in my work and to go above and beyond to give a fellow cat lover peace of mind when travelling. I tailor my care to each cat's unique personality and needs. For multiple cat households, I treat each cat as an individual while being aware of the dynamics of the duo or group. I would love to play and cuddle with your feline companion(s) or give them their space as they wish. I believe in letting the cat(s) take the lead; after all, they're the boss lol. I am certified in First Aid/CPR for Pets (American Red Cross) and Health and Sanitation for Pets (Petsitters International). Thank you for reading and please feel free to reach out!
Reviews
Ingrid is great at communicating with us while watching our girls, and always goes above and beyond. She’s the best! We always trust our girls are in good hands when we’re away.
This was our second time having Ingrid look after our cat Gracie while we traveled and everything went smoothly! She sends lots of photos and videos and provides detailed updates, which is great. I highly recommend Ingrid!
Ingrid did amazing with our two cats - she's incredibly attentive and flexible and has consistently taken great care of both our kittens!
Ingrid really loves and cares about animals, and it showed in her thoughtfulness during our meet and great and in her communication during her visits! She had some suggestions for how to make sure our cat was safe when alone in the house (this was our first time leaving our cat alone for more than 6-7 hours since we got her), which I really appreciated. She gave detailed summaries of her visit and went the extra mile - sending lots of photos and also washing out the cat food dishes!
