“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong cat lover with a deep appreciation for all pets. While I’ve always had a special bond with my cats at home, I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitting and dog walker, too! Whether it’s taking your dog for a fun walk, or snuggling with your cat for some quiet time, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved and cared for. I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care with plenty of affection for all types of pets. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work part-time as an elementary school teacher. I am more than happy to coordinate with you to offer my services in the late afternoon to evening time, on weekends, and on other times during the week according to your needs and my availability. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to stick to their routine as closely as possible, providing familiar meals, playtime, and affection.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, and that experience helps me understand different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I grew up with an orange tabby, later shared my home with a Bombay cat, and spent several years caring for my German Shepherd until she passed from illness. I’ve also looked after small pets like hamsters, so I’m used to handling gentle, delicate routines. Over the years, I’ve pet‑sat for colleagues, friends, and relatives, including shy cats, affectionate cats, and pets who need a little extra patience. I’m attentive, calm, and very tuned in to body language, which helps me build trust with animals who take their time warming up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and cared for—while giving you peace of mind with reliable communication and thoughtful updates. Requested information about your pet -Allergies - Illnesses - Age - Temperament/personality - Medications - Feeding schedules - Bite risk/history if applicable And anything else you think would be helpful to keeping your pet happy and healthy! :) I work from home most of the time and can choose when I go into the office, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet visits. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine—whether that’s a morning check‑in, midday playtime, or an evening visit. I never rush my appointments, and I make sure every pet gets calm, focused attention so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep things simple and respectful. I follow the routine you already have in place—feeding, litter, playtime, and any little habits your pet is used to. I’m careful with doors, windows, and anything safety‑related, and I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. I keep the environment calm, move slowly, and let pets come to me at their own pace. You’ll get clear updates so you always know how things are going, and your pet gets a safe, comfortable, low‑stress experience while you’re away
About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule
