J’ai tout ce qu’il faut à la maison pour m’occuper des animaux y compris le terrain pour leurs besoins, j’habite dans un domaine où c’est très sécuritaire et je suis aussi prête à me déplacer chez les gens si il préfère cela!
“Ilia was fantastic. Although Oliver was not well during our absent she handled it very professionally and with care. She communicated with us frequently on Oliver's well-being. Which was very much appreciated. She stayed in our home the entire time and left it very clean and orderly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you once again Ilia. Michaela and Dan”
