Extremely reliable and so great with our dog Casper. Ilana has been a life saver time and time again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Ilana did once-a-day visits for three weeks, and the peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for when we returned home. She kept everything spotless, made sure their routines stayed consistent, and sent thoughtful updates that truly reassured us while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and our cats absolutely adored her. We would trust her again in a heartbeat.

Ilana was great with my cats! One is very shy and she was able to say hi to her each day, she made them feel very comfortable and safe
