Pet care experience

No pup or cat too big or too small

I’ve had dogs since I was 16 and have been volunteering at local Humane Societies ever since for both dogs and cats. I currently have 2 pups of my own. One of which has given me great experience with reactive big dogs. Her name is Camilla and she is a staffy and husky mix. She is the sweetest girl but gets spooked easily but with training lots of love and a steady routine she is doing great. And my small pup Mateo who is just happy to be around and he is a havenese mini poodle mix. I have had him since he was a puppy so I know all about what it takes to watch and care for a puppy. I have a lot of experience and am great at following directions to make you and your fur baby comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in respecting you and your pup or cats space. As someone who owns a reactive dog I do not let dogs meet on walks, I am very good at redirecting and ensuring all parties are safe. I refuse to put any dog any dog in a potentially compromising position.

We loved having Ilana look-in on Maple! She did a fantastic job communicating with us and taking care of Maple while we were traveling internationally! Thanks again!

Ilana was professional, kind, and communicative. She took very good care of my reactive dog and I will be looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Ilana was an amazing sitter to my Staffy dogs, Hennessy and Bailey! My dog Bailey can be very anxious and reactive to other dogs during walks, but Ilana did an amazing job when we did a meet and greet, and throughout the weekend stay. She was very communicative, and I would book her again! Thank you, Ilana!

Ilana was awesome - responsive, kind, and very accommodating of Peach's Sphynx cat intricacies. The pictures and videos were appreciated as well, and I felt very secure being away from my furless baby. Highly recommend!

Ilana was amazing with my cat Simon! She explained what she did with Simon and sent lots of photos. Simon enjoyed having Ilana come play everyday. I highly recommend Ilana as a pet sitter and would not hesitate to use her again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I schedule my day around my pets routine and I would do the same with yours as well. I start my mornings early and can adjust as needed! I do work full time however most days I am able to work from home which makes it easier to do walks and drop ins! I do have my own two dogs as well, so if okay with you I do prefer to sleep at my own place during pet sitting especially if you are requesting more than a weekend of sitting. However we can discuss and come up with a plan comfortable for you and your pups as well.

Does your pet have any triggers? My top priority is safety I want your fur baby to be safe and comfortable so if there is anything I should avoid doing please let me know!
