Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Caring Pet Sitter
I’ve had dogs for most of my life and bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including reactive dogs and senior dogs who need extra patience, consistency, and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and behavior so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs a slower pace, I adjust my approach to meet their needs. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ pets over the years, providing dependable support and making sure their pets are well cared for and relaxed in their home environment.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. Feeding, walks, and whatever they’re used to day to day. I know pets do best when things feel familiar. I’m calm and patient, especially with dogs that might be a little anxious, reactive, or older. I pay attention to how they’re acting and adjust as needed. In your home, I’m respectful and keep things tidy. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how everything is going.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Ingrid for over 25 years, and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most knowledgeable, responsible, and genuinely dog-loving people I have ever met. Over the decades, I've watched her raise and train Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Schnauzers, and several mixed breeds — each one well-behaved, happy, and clearly bonded to her. She has a natural gift for training and an instinct for understanding what each dog needs. Dogs don't just tolerate her, they love her. She is the kind of person who takes pet care seriously in every way: consistent routines, attentive supervision, and genuine affection for every animal in her care. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and bring real expertise to the table, look no further. I trust her completely, and you can too!
