Versatile and Kind Animal Carer

All my life, I have had an affinity for animals. Growing up, I had rabbits, ducks, iguanas, and cats. I have walked and watched dogs both big and small, ranging from chihuahuas all the way to labradors. I treat every animal as if it were my own, with great love and affection, paying close attention to their needs and personalities. I am familiar with different training styles, but I know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to dogs. I'm currently working freelance, so I have the freedom to set my own schedule. I can spend time with pups who prefer early morning walks, walk dogs who need a noontime break, or even house-sit for those furry friends who are most comfortable in their own homes. Caring for animals in their family's home means keeping up with routine and making sure that they are having a fun, relaxing time so as not to miss their owners too much. I pay close attention to client instructions and make sure to take the time to get acquainted with the furry friend in my care. I update clients with status updates and photos to let them know that their pet is safe while they are gone.

Very responsible. My dog was very well taken care of while I was away.

Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!

Ileana was communicative, clean and responsible! She took great care of our cats even though it was over a holiday, and I did not have to worry at all that they were not getting enough attention or being well attended to. I would definitely re-hire Ileana in the future if our schedules matched again!

Lleana house sat for us while caring for our dog and cat for a week. She was extremely responsible and responsive. She sent pictures while we were away and left the house in perfect shape. I will try to get her again the next time we leave town.

I always ask about leash reactivity, and whether or not its a good idea to avoid other dogs on a walk. If it's a larger dog, I ask about pulling on the leash and how long of a walk they enjoy. I ask about allergies and sensitivities, and if they need anything on their walks.
