Happy, loved, spoiled!

Pet care experience

I live in a friendly community about 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport (MCO, 8.8 miles away), I-Drive (4.7 miles), Sea World (4.4 miles), Aquatica (8.3 miles), Universal Studios (5.0 miles), and about 25 min away from Disney (18 miles). I have a HUGE fenced in backyard that has plenty of space to run around in. Your pup will have a BLAST with their own vacation while you are away!

My husband and I were very hesitant to leave our dogs in day care + boarding due to horrible experiences we’ve had in the past. Ilena eased our worries completely! She is by far the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us videos and photos of our dogs (and every activity they took part of) every hour or so. The dogs had a blast running around their huge garden, playing with other dogs, being hugged by Ilena’s family members, playing with bubbles and getting constant treats. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, THANK YOU for being so kind and loving to our babies. ♥️🙏🏽

I’m SO happy I chose Ilena to watch our sweet boy Tyson for the day while we went to Disney! I know he had such a fun day because of all the pictures and videos Ilena sent throughout the day, which made me feel so reassured that he was very well taken care of. He was clean and happy when we picked him up!!🥰 We’ll be going to Disney again and we would definitely take Tyson to stay with Ilena and her family again!❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much!!!🙏🏼

2nd time boarding with Ilena and I don’t think that I can ever leave my dog with anyone else. We are so blessed to have found her. She is simply AWESOME!

Ilena was sooo sweet and took so many pictures of Finn to ease my dog mom heart!! He had such a fun time and I love that she does different activities with them (paw painting, bubbles, etc.). He slept the whole was home 🤣

Safety, trust & environment

We love our dog and would love to spoil yours when you need us to! I promise they will be treated with the ultimate love and care. You will know this by their regular updates, wagging tails and happy faces when you return. We do help guests with separation anxiety by assigning them their very own ambassador (one of my three older children or other staff member who has been trained on how to help ease their anxiety and help them enjoy their stay during their absence from their most FAVORITE people in the world-You!) They will hold and dote on them, give them all the extra love and attention they need to make sure they are comfortable. When they feel up to it, they can or may join group play. If not, they will continue to have their ambassador assigned to them during their stay and still home feeling extra loved and tended to. Our new vinyl fence is daily and regularly inspected throughout the day to ensure it is secure, with no holes from previous guests. I have an outside gate by the front entrance and an additional safety gate at the front door for entering and exiting our guests as an extra measure of safety. Safety is my number one priority for all our guests and staff! Between myself, my husband, or staff, someone is always home with our guests.

Information Ilena C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dog's personality and preferences before sitting so that we can offer them the best care possible. Are they potty trained? It's ok if they are not. We will make sure to take them on extra breaks outside to encourage their potty training. Do they get along well with friendly strangers or other dogs? This is very important to share upfront so we can make sure everyone enjoys their stay to the fullest. Due to the nature of our daycare set-up, we CANNOT accept guests who do not get along well with others. Please consider a sitter that cares for one pup at a time if you are not quite sure how your baby is around other guests. Our group style settings allow our guests to have a LOT of fun. We can even cater to guests that like to be quiet and relaxed. However, no form of aggression is tolerated. Do they enjoy being around children? We have three older children (ages 9, 12, and 13) that have been trained on how to socialize with our guest pups and they are very respectful of your babies. In addition, when they are not at school or sports practices, our children help serve as Ambassadors and help with belly rubs and snuggling. While you can never fully predict how pups will react to other dogs and personalities, it is helpful to know as much as possible about your sweet one's personality, triggers, like and dislikes before we care for them to ensure they have the best and safest time possible. We do have multiple guests over of all ages, sizes, and stages in life. We have regular daycare pups that come multiple times a week for tons of fun. We can cater to all sizes and needs from toy size pups to very large pup guests. Our system of grouping them according to their energy level and size helps ensure our guests are happy and safe during their stay. We have a new puppy play out area that we use exclusively when we have small pups or older guests whom prefer not to have high energy guests during free play. We also use this for everyone when all energy levels match. Does your pup have any allergies or areas sensitive to touch? Any medications? The more we know about your pup, the better we can plan and prepare for a successful stay/visit. Thank you in advance for checking out our profile. You can access our pictures to see how your loved ones are treated, spaces, and activities they will enjoy. The last pics are the most recent ones. We have a constant mindset for change and improvement and I’m always working on a project for our guests ultimate enjoyment! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! We are looking forward to meeting and caring for your pup!

A typical day

Our daycare guests receive a complimentary spritz and brush before going home; for a small add-on fee and convenience, you can opt for a go-home bath so they don't smell like all the fun they've had! I am super easy going and treat my own dog like another one of our children, and treat your pup the same while in our care! We LOVE dogs and want to create the best experience for our guests while they are with us. To us, they are family. I am always researching ways on how to improve their stay, with the mindset of being a dog owner myself and a caretaker for your fur baby. Please let me know if their is any way to make their stay more comfortable by sharing any likes and dislikes below:

Scheduled activities include bubble parties, ball parties, pool parties, and plenty of outdoor games and activities. We offer plenty of mental stimulation and socialization with games, activities, puzzles, games, obstacle courses, etc. If they just feel like relaxing, that's fine too! We cater to them for whatever their energy level is up to. Our spaces are designed specifically for your pup to play, relax, and have a good time. I LOVE sharing pictures and videos of how your sweet one is doing throughout their entire stay so you never have to worry about how or what they are doing. We are home full-time and start early daycare drop offs between 6am-9:30am. The day care rate is for 12 hours of care from drop off time. We encourage our pup parents to enjoy themselves and stay until parks close. If care extends past 12 hours, the app will automatically add 50% of the daily day care rate or you may get a modification request if it is changed after the request is booked. The small fee will give you an additional 2-8 hours of care through 11p, whichever is first. First time Rover users can use promo code TINY61250 for $20 off your first booking! Together, my family of 5 aim to make every pup guests experiences a memorable one! We make sure to give them the ultimate care while they are with us. We can't wait to meet and play with your pup and look forward to giving them all the attention, belly rubs (if that's what they like!), walks, and love while you are at work, on vacation, or if you just want them to have an awesome, fun-filled day!
