I'm currently a student who occasionally works on-campus a few times per month. On most weekdays, I'm readily available in the early mornings and afternoons/evenings to take care of your pet! On weekends, I'm even more flexible.

About Ingrid P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
On walks, I stay attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful and to watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I position myself between the dog and the road, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and choose safer, quieter routes. For birds, I monitor body language and ensure their enclosure is secure at all times. I can handle parrots if needed, but always prioritize their comfort and boundaries. For fish tanks and other small animals, I maintain strict hygiene by washing my hands before and after care. I follow detailed care instructions closely, including feeding, temperature checks, and maintaining stable environments. I ensure all enclosures are securely closed and handled carefully to prevent stress or escape.
Information Ingrid P. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know about a pet’s routine, temperament, and any specific needs they have ahead of time if possible. Things like feeding schedules, leash behavior, reactivity, preferences, any special medical needs, and anything that helps keep them safe and comfortable. For fish tanks, birds, or small animals, I follow detailed care instructions closely and prioritize keeping things stable and low-stress.
A typical day
A typical walk or play is done to each dogs' energy level or personality. That can mean relaxed walks with lots of sniffing, or a more energetically demanding activity like jogging for dogs who enjoy that. I like keeping walks safe but engaging. For energetic pets, I'm happy to incorporate light training reinforcement or games (my personal favorite is tug of war, but I'll always do activities according to your dog's energy and preference). For calmer or older dogs, I prioritize making a routine that's comfortable and low-stress.

Reliable, Active Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’m an attentive and reliable walker who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m comfortable with leash handling and focused on keeping dogs safe, exercised, and happy on their walks. I have experience with a range of dog breeds (and cats) through friends, family, and roommates. I'm happy to adjust to each dog's needs, whether it's a relaxed walk or a faster pace. For dogs who enjoy it, I can also incorporate light jogging into walks. I'm also experienced with salt and freshwater fish, reef tanks, arachnids, aquatic invertebrates, specialized tank setups, and bird species ranging from parrots and doves to fowl. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, and helping maintain stable environments during drop ins. I'm happy to provide updates and photos after a walk or drop-in visit.
