Pet care experience
Reliable dog mom of two pups
Hi, I’m Illary! I’m a dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and caring to look after your pet. I have experience with different dog personalities and routines, including administering medication, following feeding instructions, and caring for dogs who may be shy, anxious, senior, or need extra support. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for during every walk or visit. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Illary enough! Both of my dogs can be wary of strangers, Leia is big on barking and Lucas in particular struggles with anxiety and can become overwhelmed in new situations. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding of their individual needs. She took the time to earn their trust and never rushed interactions, which made a huge difference in helping them feel comfortable and secure. Her calm demeanor and experience with nervous dogs really showed, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. It’s not easy to find someone who can handle dogs with these kinds of challenges, but she does so with kindness, patience, and genuine care. I am so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with shy or anxious dogs.
Illary is highly recommended! She is caring, attentive, and truly loves dogs. From the very beginning, she made both us and our dog feel comfortable and at ease. Her kindness help dogs quickly build trust and feel safe around her. She is also very responsible, reliable, and always punctual. Knowing that our dog is in her care gives us complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with genuine love and attention, she is an excellent choice.
I cannot recommend Illary highly enough. One of my biggest concerns when looking for a dog sitter was finding someone I could truly trust with my senior dog, Kiwi. As a Pekingese, Kiwi requires extra care due to his eye condition, including regular cleaning around the eyes and the application of eye lubricants 2–3 times a day. Illary followed every instruction perfectly and paid close attention to all of his needs. He has a very selective personality and doesn’t bond easily with new people, but he clicked with Illary almost immediately. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. Thanks to the excellent experience with the home visits, I feel much more confident about leaving Kiwi in her care again for an upcoming work trip. Knowing that he will be with someone responsible and attentive gives me tremendous peace of mind.
Illary has always shown to be a very caring and detail oriented caregiver. She has gone above and beyond trying to make sure my pets are taken care of and feel loved. I know when I hire her to look after my cat and puppy, I dont have to worry because I know all their needs will be met. Thank you, Illary!
Si me preguntan, ¿cuál es la primera persona que viene a tu mente cuando se trata del cuidado de una mascota? Sin dudar, la primera persona que viene a mi mente es Illary. Por varios años he sido testigo del amor, dedicación, paciencia y compromiso incondicional con el cual ella a cuidado de su amado Tego. Estas cualidades son las que me llevaron a confiar en ella para el cuidado de mi Nala y Simba en múltiples ocasiones. Illary cuenta con experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas en ciudades como Chicago, donde el bullicio y la alta densidad de personas y mascotas requieren un toque especial de paciencia para manejar diferentes escenarios que pueden resultar estresantes para algunas mascotas. Además, he presenciado como ella se ha ganado el corazón de otras mascotas, ya que su amor por los animales y atención al detalle no tienen límites. Si estás buscando que tu mascota esté en manos de una persona que cuide de él o ella con el mismo amor que tú, Illary es la persona indicada.
Illary is a gentle and patient dog walker. She walks my 2 miniature schnauzers 3x a week. My dogs always run towards her when she picks them up, which I know means they love her! I highly recommend her ✨🙏🏽

Schedule
I work remotely on East Coast hours, so I’m usually free after 2 PM during the week to help care for your fur baby. Whether they need a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help make sure they’re cared for and comfortable. I’m also open to weekend availability depending on the need.
