Animal lover seeking new animal friends

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog always by my side (Belgium Shepard) and my love for dogs has never faded. My dog was part of the family between the age of 3–16 years so I've experienced different stages such as youth, adolescent and seniority. Besides that, I've taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends numerous times, always with love and care.

I am very satisfied with Ilja's work. She took care of my babies (my cats Luce and Mitty) like they were hers. I was away for a weekends and she made sure to send me updates/pictures on how it was going. I would highly recommend her!

Ilja sometimes looks after my cat Azrael. While Azrael is not a social cat she always comes to Ilja when she arrives. It took me a while to find someone who Azrael trusts and Ilja is the one. She is a very patient and caring person.

Ilja is a real animal lover. I left my dog Bobbie and my hamster Nibbit with her for over 2 weeks and she took such good care of them. She took a lot of pictures of my pets and i was happy to see them while i was on vacation. My dog is always happy to see Ilja again because he knows she will play with him for hours.

Ilja is really very attentive and caring , she loves and takes good care of the pet like they are her own. No regrets leaving my Riley with her

Unfortunately I don't have the space to take care of your pet(s) in my own house, but instead it's no trouble for me to travel your way and take care of your furbabies from there. I would say my actions are always out of love and I'm a patient person who takes their time to learn to know each other. I love giving cuddles but of course if your pet isn't much of a cuddler, I will contain my urges ;-)

Information Ilja V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has f.e. any special needs, a diet or known behaviours that I can account for and I will do my best to take the greatest care of your loved furbaby.

A typical day

I'm in for both active and relaxed activities. I like to play around and stimulate your pet, but also enjoy winding down and just chill and enjoy each other's company after a fulfilling walk.
