Pet care experience

Your Furbuddy’s Bestie 🐾

Hi and welcome 🐾 I have always grown up with pets which inspired me to want to care for them. I currently am a dog mom to a Long Hair Dachshund, named King. We have trained him so well, to the point that he is very independent and now I have more time to care for other pets in need. I am a former middle school teacher and pride myself on being friendly, reliable, honest and warm. I have years of experience with training, grooming, and at home pet sitting.

Ilia thank you so much for being patient, kind, and genuinely caring with my puppy. Ilia will go above expectations to ensure that your pet feels loved and cared for. She asks questions, was timely, and followed all instructions. I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in your care. I appreciate your help and will continue to book with you.

Ilia is an outstanding sitter! She came over and bonded with Tofu prior to our travels. We were also fortunate that he got along well with her two dogs. She provided me with daily updates with pictures. Tofu made himself at home with Ilia and settled in pretty well by the first night. I strongly recommend Ilia to sit your fur baby. She's caring, attentive, communicative, and overall compassionate. I was comforted to know that my dog was in the greatest care in my absence. Thank you, Ilia!

Ms. Ilia was truly a breath of fresh air. As newbies to Rover we were able to schedule a meeting with myself and the kiddos and It went so well that I hoped the babies and their needs weren't to much and she'd agree to accept us. Well she did and was amazing. We loved the daily pictures and updates. She was so flexible and took great care of them. They even looked for her the day we returned home. We look forward to having her again. Definitely our first choice... Thank you Ms. Ilia!!

Ilia can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Please let me know what extra care I can provide based on your dogs needs, to keep them safe, healthy and happy! I will make the necessary accommodations. Drop in visits will consist of me spending time with your pets in the home, ensuring they are fed, their water is fresh and any meds are provided. I also will play with them and ensure they are comfortable and entertained. Dog walking will consist of a walk outside of the home in your neighborhood for the duration you choose and in the manner you prefer.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
