Affordable & responsible dog lover!
Pet care experience
Chihuahuas, bulldogs, greyhounds? I’ve done it all! I love animals of all sizes and understand the special relationships between people and their pets. With a passion for customer service and many years of dogsitting experience I will take the time to learn you and your pet's preferences. I recently worked at a dog training company as their official dog photographer and my clients always comment on how much they love the photos and updates I send. I will go above and beyond to make sure that your dog has the best care possible. Does your pup have a favorite poop spot or anxiety around new people? My job is to make sure your dog feels right at home with me. I love each dog like they are my own! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to check my availability.
Reviews
Ilana is amazing! She has gone above and beyond to take care of my (sometimes difficult) doggie. Excellent communication and takes awesome pictures, too!
She did a great job caring for Luna ! Thank you so so much for communicating with me and letting me know how she did during her stay!
Ilana did a great job taking care of Winnie, and sent photo updates during our weekend away. We are lucky to have found her!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Every dog is different and I love them all. Don’t worry if your dog has behavioral or anxiety problems they’re working through! I promise I’ve seen it all and am happy to work with you both to reinforce positive behavior, make them feel safe, and allow you feel at ease! I don’t care if you want to send me a few sentences or a novel… I cant wait to meet your unique dog!
Information Ilana W. would like to know about your pet
Im happy to meet in person before hand or simply communicate details via Rover. Location of items, typical routines, triggers, medications, allergies, and behavior I need to be aware of or anything else you want me to know!
A typical day
A typical visit: From the moment I walk through the door I’ll be chatting and singing to your dog and making them feel at ease. Often I quickly survey the house for any signs of anxiety or destruction while they were alone and then put their gear on (leash, harness, sweater, booties, Ive done it all!) Both drop in visits and walks are 30 mins and I’ll spend that entire time with your dog. Some active dogs need the entire 30 mins to exercise while other dogs prefer to spend half their time getting belly rubs, playing tug of war, or modeling for the camera. Some dogs walk briskly and others take their time! At the end of our time together I’ll send you an update on our day together and observations on your pups mood, behavior, and potty habits. Plus lots of Instagram worthy pictures!
