Here for your dog when you can't be
Pet care experience
With the world opening back up you may need an extra hand caring for your pup. Big, small, young,I love them all. I grew up with dogs my whole life, and know how easy it is to worry about your pup when you can't be there with them. That's why I promise to love and care for your dog as if it were my own. Whether it is a quick check in, or a longer stay, I promise that your dog will receive plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and play time when they're with me. I am currently working from home, which means that I have plenty of flexibility when it comes to caring for your furry friend. I also love cats and other pets, and would be happy to give them a bit of TLC when I stop by.
Reviews
Ilaria has been my friend for many years and I've seen her raise, take care of, and love two wonderful dogs in her household. She has cared for my animals before and I've even referred her to others looking for a dog walker. She is active and capable of exercising an energetic dog, but also knows how to take it slow and smell the flowers if that's more what the dog is feeling. She is a dog lover through and through and you'd be hard pressed to find someone better for this job.
Full disclosure: I am Ilaria’s mother. Ilaria has grown up with dogs and has helped taking care of our family dog(s) since she was little, taking on more and more responsibilities as she grew up. Over the last few years, when she has been home from college she has mostly taken primary responsibility for our current dog and done so with great love and diligence. The dog adores her. Ilaria has always been extremely responsible and reliable and takes her commitments very seriously.
Ilaria is the BEST with my rescue pup who can be shy and anxious. Angel absolutely loves her and gets so excited to see her every time and I feel comfortable knowing I’m leaving my baby in excellent hands. We love you Ilaria and hope to see you again soon!
Ilaria is so enthusiastic about being around dogs! She is incredibly playful and responsible. She has taken care of my dog, Charlie, before, and she has proven to be incredibly caring. I would absolutely trust her to take care of any of my animals again in the future!
