Ingrid

Hi! Welcome to my profile. My name is Ingrid, I'm 23 years old, and I love dogs. Like, I LOVE dogs. They're my favourite.

About Me

I currently do not have a full-time job, and so my schedule is flexible. I have my own car (with a big boot) and a full driver's license.

I have dog-stting experience, and I've been a dog-owner since I was nine; my first dog was a medium-sized bitsa (female), and my current dog is a medium-to-large American Staffy mix (female). I'm very comfortable around dogs of any size, age, and breed, although I do hold a special place in my heart for old, big dogs.

My Services

Unfortunately, I cannot house dogs at my own address, as my current dog is quite a rough player, which many dogs aren't comfortable with, and she sometimes doesn't get along with others. However, I am more than happy to visit your address, and stay over if needed.

My services include everything a dog could need!

• A typical walk will be between 40 minutes to an hour, depending on what your dog is used to, and I'm happy to walk twice a day, or do one longer walk if required.
• If your dog has any special dietary requirements or needs medication, then I'm comfortable with accommodating both.
• If you're still in the midst of training then I'll happily put in some quality training time with your pup (although please note that I'm not a professional trainer).
• If they need a wash and/or a brush I'm happy to do that too (please note that I'm not a professional groomer either).
• If you have multiple dogs, that's more than fine with me!
• I'm not afraid of dogs who don't get along with other dogs, noisy/chatty dogs, or hyperactive dogs.

I'm a firm believer in respecting a dog's personal boundaries in order to cultivate and maintain a healthy relationship of trust. I'm very comfortable with reading a dog's body language, and the longer I know a dog, the better I can read them. If your dog needs cuddles, then I'm there with open arms; if your dog is more independent, I'll give them the space they need.

I know that, even though dogs may rule in roost in some regards, your boundaries are just as important as the owner. Whatever rules you have in place - no pets on the furniture or upstairs, no extra treats, etc. - I will respect.

If you have any questions, then please feel free to shoot me a message.
