I was very unsure if I wanted to leave my baby with a stranger but after reaching out to Iliana and seeing her background experience with dogs I decided to meet up with Iliana at a park where she met Khloe and spent sometime getting to know her before her stay. Iliana made sure to keep me updated by sending me pictures of Khloe while I was on my trip. 10/10 recommend booking with Iliana. She took good care of my baby girl and made sure she enjoyed her time by taking her on hikes. :) Thank you Iliana! Khloe had a blast!

Lliana took amazing care of my boy, Rusty. From knowledge to having such a deep love with animals, I felt like I was having a family member watch my boy! She incorporated so many walks and play time with Rusty each day. I appreciate her background in working with animals, I would trust her to watch my boy again in a heartbeat. You won’t regret having her take care of your loved one!

A typical day

Interactive Play Sessions: Engage pets in interactive play sessions with toys such as balls, tug-of-war ropes, or interactive puzzle toys to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. Outdoor Adventures: Take dogs for walks or runs in your neighborhood or nearby parks. Explore different routes to keep things interesting and let them sniff and explore to their heart's content. Backyard Playtime: Utilize your spacious fenced-in backyard for games of fetch, frisbee, or simply romping around and exploring. You can also set up agility courses or obstacle courses for some added excitement. Water Fun: If weather permits and the pets enjoy it, set up a kiddie pool or sprinkler in the backyard for some water play. Many dogs love splashing around and cooling off on hot days. Training Sessions: Incorporate short training sessions into their daily routine to work on obedience commands, tricks, or agility exercises. Training not only provides mental stimulation but also strengthens the bond between you and the pets. Sniffing Games: Create scent trails using treats or toys and let dogs use their noses to sniff out the hidden treasures. This taps into their natural instincts and provides a fun mental challenge. Quiet Time: Set aside some time for relaxation and cuddles indoors. Whether it's snuggling up on the couch for a nap or enjoying some quiet bonding time, pets will appreciate the chance to unwind and feel comforted. Group Playdates: If hosting multiple pets, organize supervised group playdates where they can socialize and interact with each other under your watchful eye. This can be a great way for them to burn off energy and make new furry friends. Activities are tailored to each pet's preferences, energy levels, and comfort levels, and I make sure to always prioritize their safety and well-being. With a variety of engaging and stimulating activities, pets staying at my home are sure to have a paw-some time!

Dear Pet Parents, When your beloved furry friend stays with me, they're in for a day filled with love, fun, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures! Here's a glimpse into what a typical day looks like for them: 7:00 AM: Rise and shine! We kick off the day bright and early with a refreshing one to two-mile walk or run, tailored to their exercise needs. Whether they're a sprinter or a leisurely stroller, we'll start the day on the right paw! 8:00 AM: Back home for a hearty breakfast to fuel up for the day ahead. While I settle in for my remote work, your furry friend gets to relax and unwind, perhaps enjoying some morning cuddles or a snooze in their favorite spot. 12:00 PM: It's time for a midday break! I'll let the dogs out for a stretch and potty break in my spacious shaded fenced-in backyard. With plenty of room to romp and play, they'll have a blast chasing balls, playing fetch, or simply soaking up the sunshine. 5:00 PM: Work's done, and it's time for some post-work fun! Everyone gathers for a delicious dinner followed by a leisurely stroll around my safe neighborhood. It's the perfect way to wind down the day and enjoy some quality bonding time. Throughout the day, your furry friend will receive plenty of snuggles, pets, and treats (if allowed by you, the pet parent). From tug-of-war sessions to small training sessions, every moment is filled with love and laughter. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll do everything in my power to ensure they have a paw-some stay with me!
