I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.

Information Ilene M. would like to know about your pet

Any dietary restrictions, medical conditions, special needs, and aggressive behavior that I should be aware of if I am to provide safe and proper care of your pets. I also need to know if you’re comfortable leaving your pets alone for any duration of time as my full time job will require me to be away for 8 hours in the evening.

A typical day

I like to take dogs for long walks and make time for lots of playtime. I take the time to understand the pet’s needs, find out what toys they like to play with and how to keep them entertained so you come home to a happy and hopefully calmer companion!

Caring companion for your fur child

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving!

Ilene has been so great with our two dogs. She’s watched them a bunch of times, and they absolutely love her. Every time she comes over, they get super excited to see her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy they are with her. She’s reliable, caring, attentive, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing our dogs are with someone we fully trust. We’d definitely recommend Ilene to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.

She has always done an amazing job, we have had her watch our dogs probably at least 5 times now while we have been on vacation and we have never had any problems. She goes above and beyond.
