Pet care experience

Let’s go outside!

I have lived with dogs my whole life and have had my current “pup” for 12 years now. I have experienced her good days and the bad ones, I understand temperament and physical cues. I have pet sit for multiple friends and family members. I understand your home is your safe spot, and that all homes have some quirks. I’m good at locking up, checking water bowls, even wrestling that stubborn key to the front door. I want the animals to feel cared for and also get their energy out. I know leaving them with a stranger can be a bit stressful, and I am here to help!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can keep it to walking trails or we can keep it to the blocks that they know and love. I have a dog crate that would accommodate any medium to large dog. I am familiar with harness’ and easy walkers. I also have a vehicle for any emergencies that arise.

Ilene is the best and I'm so glad we found her. My girls love her, even abandoning their favorite food in favor of play time. She's great at communication and provides the best visit summaries every day. So grateful!

Ilene was incredibly thorough and thoughtful with my cats. I received quality pictures and a paragraph of details each visit. My cats were treated so well I have a feeling they simply made a new human friend as I was away. 10/10 would recommend Ilene for your pet care!

She spent adequate time with my kiddos, house was left in great shape, including cleaning up throw up as needed. She made the time to meet up prior to the stay to ensure comfortability. My cats love her and she is always my go to now

Schedule

I am working part time, so I have evenings and weekends free. No matter if it is a short jaunt around the block or keeping them happy over night, I’m confident we can make a good fit.

I have an older dog who has a deep bark, so I am familiar with dogs with quirks. I can cater to any of their needs, let me know about any medications or things to look out for!
