Emilia-Laura provides personalized drop-in visits focused on playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, and plenty of cuddles. For shy or reserved cats, I am patient and take the time to build trust, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and a little spoiled. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and liquids, and can carefully follow specific dietary requirements. Ion provides regular dog walks adjusted to your dog’s pace, stamina, and routine, along with engaging play and positive reinforcement, ensuring each outing is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free for both dogs and their owners. Especially well suited for calmer dogs!

Emilia-Laura did such a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 cats! She was attentive and went above and beyond, even trimming their claws when she noticed they were getting long. Our cats loved her and we really appreciated her in-depth updates every visit.

Amazing sitter for our cats! So reliable and trustworthy, great communication, and proactively takes care if things like refilling their water fountain and cleaning up any messes. She really cares about our cats and that’s the most important thing.
