Pet care experience

A dog lover

I’ve lived with dogs all my life. Lola, Paolo e now Fidia. All rescued dogs! In January I went to Thailand to volunteer in a dog shelter called SoiDog for few weeks and I’ve learned even more about dogs, especially the shy dogs, the introverts and dogs that didn't have a happy life. I am also volunteering with a charity in London who helps homeless people and their pets. I would love to take care of your dog.

I cannot recommend Ilaria highly enough as a pet sitter. She is quite simply the most passionate animal lover I know. Whenever there is an animal nearby, she is instantly drawn to them. Within moments, she is down at their level, cuddling, playing, and making them feel comfortable and loved. Animals seem to gravitate towards her just as naturally as she gravitates towards them. As someone who once owned a cat that I adored and cared for deeply, I was always amazed by the level of dedication Ilaria showed to her own cat, Lola. Seeing how attentive she was to Lola's physical health, emotional wellbeing, and overall happiness often made me feel like I could be doing more for my own pet. She genuinely goes above and beyond to ensure that animals in her care are safe, healthy, and content. Her commitment to animal welfare extends far beyond her own pets. She volunteers for an animal charity and has looked after countless cats in her neighbourhood, earning the trust of both pets and their owners. Caring for animals is not just something she does; it is a fundamental part of who she is. I would trust Ilaria with the life of my pet without hesitation. In fact, I often joke that she would probably do a better job looking after them than I would. Any pet in her care will be treated with exceptional kindness, patience, attention, and love.

She came to visit my cat for the first time, and he was so comfortable around her. After that, I left him with her for two weeks and she took really good care of him, and even got him to like treats! Thank you Ila for being such a lovely host.

We have 2 lovely cats in our house and on any occasion possible Ilaria comes to stay with them and bring all the lovely affections and attentions needed, beside a little and most generous treat. Absolutely reliable! 5 Stars I couldn’t recommend her more

I have known Ilaria for more than a decade now, and during all these years she has been looking after my cat, Lia. I can for sure say that Ilaria is one of the most loving, caring, and trustworthy people when it comes to pets. She has always been reliable and punctual, and she carefully followed all the recommendations and instructions I left for Lia. Ilaria gave me complete peace of mind when I knew she was looking after Lia. Lia loved spending time with Ilaria, they built a wonderful bond over the years, and Ilaria always made sure she received plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I would definitely recommend Ilaria and any pet would be lucky to be in her care.

Ila is a true animal lover. Her passion and dedication to caring for furry friends really shines through, and she brings so much love and joy to every pet she looks after. She also has a great understanding of how to care for them properly, making sure they are happy, healthy, and properly supported. She always goes the extra mile and tailors her approach to each and every little friend, keeping their individual needs and personalities in mind. I know I can always trust Ila with my cat, and they will have the best time together. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
