Your dogs home away from home.

Pet care experience

I have a clean home with specialized care specifically for your dog.... A home filled with love and attention and time to give every fur baby.. The attention and love you want your dog to have. I walk your dog 3 to 4 times at day or as many times as needed. Keep them clean, and give them unconditional love. If there are any special needs required, they are taken care of with kindness and a soft touch. I never keep your pet in a cage or crate, unless you have a special request and bring their crate. I never have more than 2 dogs at my home, from one family. If special arrangements must be met. I'm more than able to help you. I'm willing to make your dog and you happy and content with my loving care. I treat your pet as if they were mine. They will enjoy my company as much as I will enjoy theirs. I'm dedicated to giving all the love I have to your precious dog... I will happily speak to you, meet you and your loving fur baby, and family member. I'm your answer to a loving caregiver to your best friend and loving sweet dog... I specialize and adore small dogs. If you want special care, as to brushing their teeth, taking them to the Vet, sleeping in my bed, bathing and cooking. You have found the right host. Please inquire. Feel free to set up a "Meet and Greet" I'm sure you will want your loving Dog to stay with me when you can't be with them. I cannot care for large dogs more than 20 pounds , more or less. My heart loves small lap dogs . I have loved small fluffy lap dogs for many years. Please contact me, I will protect your little baby. It's what I do best...I'm dedicated and absolutely love small little cuddly dog babies. I know they will bond with me quickly. Please don't hesitate to set up a Meet & Greet if you can... I am home everyday all day" most of the time". I have an easy schedule and I stay home most days. Especially when I'm caring for a dog. I love having your fur baby here with me. We play and go outside for walks often. I send text photos to your cell phone everyday with update information! The communication is easier for both of us. I usually post photos to face book to show all my contacts what special fur baby I have staying with me! With your permission of course! I have one family pets at my house at any given time. I don't allow dogs from other families during a booked and reserved stay. I keep your dogs schedule as you prefer. I'm very aware of the change in the dogs environment and feeling some separation anxiety. I overcome that situation very carefully with giving lots of attention. Staying with your fur baby helps us bond very quickly. I distract them when you leave, and start to play immediately. A treat usually helps! I take them for a walk as soon as possible. That's when we bond and they learn I can be trusted. I'm at home most of the time. I do not work out of my home. I love having little fur babies to play with and to feel my love. I give then my time attention and respect. I have a loving caring attitude. I never yell or frighten any dog. They are very in tune with my energy and calm attention. They always sit by my side or right on my lap. They trust me, they know I'm kind and loving and safe. I really love having the dog respond with love and kisses. I always get lots of them... I do not take senior dogs over 11 years old!

Ilene was above amazing. I was so happy to have found her! She and Bailey bonded right away. She took such great care of him and his needs! I was so at ease with him in her care. Provided me with updates and pictures! Attended to his schedule and every need as if he were at home. I never worried at all, knowing he was in her care. Even during the bad weather and fireworks which my dog gets really anxious and scared from, she went above and beyond to make him feel safe and comfortable. Played with him and showed him extra care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I can’t wait to have Bailey in her care again!

Ilene was an amazing dog sitter to our 1 year old poodle Lucy. She was very patient with her and kind. She also was very organized with Lucy’s schedule of meal and walk times. She also updated us consistently with pictures of Lucy and how she was doing She knows a lot about dogs so she will get to know your dog in one second and be there to meet their needs and make them comfortable. We loved her so much and will definitely book again with Ilene!!! 100% recommended!!

Illene was great! She was very thorough and gave great updates on the dogs while they were with her. She’s very meticulous on keeping your dogs information and it made me feel like the dogs were in really safe hands. Her house was also very clean and she went above and beyond to stay with them.

Having Ilene or as we call her now Auntie Ilene, take care of our 6 month Shih Tzu puppy was a great experience. She is loving and nurturing. She sent pictures of our baby and kept us informed continually. She answered all our questions and made us feel very much at ease, leaving our puppy for the first time. I highly recommend her and will use her next time we go on vacation. Thank you Ilene, you are the best.

Information Ilene W. would like to know about your pet

Small dogs up to 25 lbs. I love having small dogs!. I allow them to roam my house and sleep in my bed if necessary. I prefer dogs no heavier then 25 lbs. Harnesses and leashes are a must and most important. We play ball or fetch inside. "It's just to HOT" I prefer walking them on the grass, the tar HOT streets can be very harmful and painful to your dogs pads! (the bottom of their paws)

A typical day

Playing with toys. Playing fetch. Rolling on the floor. Getting treats. Going on frequent walks. Lots of belly rubs, and speaking positively, and rewarding with kisses, treats and lots of love and attention. They always respond with happiness and a wagging tail. The fur babies love me as much as I love them.
