About Ilana G.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a duplex house with a fenced patio and a front grass lawn. I do not own any animals myself, so I am able to give all my attention to your furry family member without the distraction of another animal. I can also crate train if that is what you are striving for. All dogs must be potty trained and have nails filed to prevent scratches on our original wooden floors. We work hard to keep our home clean and in great condition to provide a high quality experience for our clients. We also have air purifiers to keep great indoor air quality and will be using filtered water for our clients. Treats that have been owner-approved can be given as well.

Information Ilana G. would like to know about your pet
Notes are taken in detail for every client - My goal is to create an environment and rhythm close to home life to promote ease in the transition to a new space. I'd love to know of any special accommodations, medications, and typical home schedules so I can recreate home life in a “home away from home” atmosphere. It would be helpful if you brought along any familiar blankets and toys that help your furry family member feel at ease!
A typical day
I am very active so I enjoy outdoor explorations with the pups and doggy park visits. I also like to create a fun and caring environment and have many play times to bond with them and make them feel as comfortable as I can!

Pet care experience
I've grown up with pets since I was little and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks! I've had experiences from puppies to senior dogs and have experience with animals with handicap abilities, medication management, and behavioral challenges. Although I do not have animals of my own, I wanted to share in the joy of having pets around by helping others host their furry family member at my home. My total attention will be on giving the best care to your family member as I take one client at a time. * I do live with my male partner so if there is any anxiety/aggression towards male energy, we can schedule a few M&Gs to expose your pet to male presence or have a mutual agreement that it may not be a good fit.

Reviews
Ilana has watched Lexi twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times! I love the daily photo and video updates she provides; they really put my mind at ease while I’m away. It’s clear Lexi is comfortable with her and well loved. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistent, caring sitter!
It was my first time having her watch my dog for the week and she was great. She communicated with me everyday on how Pearl was doing and sent me videos and pictures. She has a friendly personality and my dog loved her! Thank you again for watching Pearl! 😃
I'm so thankful for the care Lexi received during her stay! It's always a little hard leaving her, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The sitter was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. Lexi came home happy and calm, which says everything. I'll definitely be booking again! 🐾🧡🩷
Ilana was so amazing to work with. Naomi is a shy cat and it takes some time for her to warm up to new sitters, but she was out and social on her first day. Ilana provided updates throughout the day with photos and videos. She provided a safe and comfortable boarding experience for my anxious little baby. I would definitely book her again in the future!
