Exclusive Private Pet Care

Pet care experience

I love all animals and they feel that. I love nature and we go on walks, hikes and boat rides. I have experience with pets at all stages of life and have over 30 years experience caring for animals. I don't smoke or party. I'm a professional and you can trust me in your home. I am equipped with dog belts, dog mats, dog life jackets, cat furniture and a Canada Paddle Level 1 certification. I live on a large property on a lake. If your animal isn't feeling well under my care, there is no effort too large to save him/her. I can administer medication, insulin, inhalers and SQ fluids. I have recently lost my beloved pet and have therefore now opened to boarding and house-sitting. I offer private boarding-- only one family at a time so that they have the full run of the house and can feel like they're in their own home here. I understand loneliness and your pet's need for companionship. I fall in love with all the animals that I take care of and treat them as my own.

10/10 Ilana is absolutely perfect in my eyes when it comes to a pet sitter. She’s responsive, attentive to their schedule and needs, and excellent with communication. She also sends wonderful pictures of the animals which is so appreciated. I’ve used her many times now and will continue to have her back!

Ilana is a superb dog sitter. She is very accommodating. She sent lots of pics. She took such great care of our dog, Maggie. She took Maggie for 2-3 good walks a day and played ball with her. Maggie got extra treats and 5 star treatment. Highly recommend Ilana! She went above and beyond. We will book with her again.

I am so picky with who watches my babies, and honestly I would trust my kids with Llana! That’s how great she is. Recommend her always.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
