Information Ilona O. would like to know about your pet

Your dog HAS to be ok with Children as i have a 2 year old. There will be boundaries put in place with my child. I will never ever leave the dog and my baby girl alone. I need to know if they're food aggressive and if they get on with other dogs.

A typical day

Each day is filled with tail wags, fresh air, and fun! I spend my time caring for and walking other people’s dogs, and I absolutely love it. Long, engaging walks are a big part of our routine—they’re great for exercise, and I always tailor them to each dog’s energy level and needs. Beyond just walking, I make sure every dog gets a bit of mental stimulation too. Whether it’s through basic training refreshers, interactive toys, or simple games like scent work and hide-and-seek, I keep their minds active and curious. Every dog has their own personality and preferences, and I love getting to know each one. It’s rewarding to see them happy, tired, and well cared for by the end of the day.

Pet care experience

With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for both large and small breed dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From basic obedience to behavioral training, I bring patience, consistency, and a genuine love for every pup I meet.

We cannot recommend Ilona enough! As new dog parents, we were understandably nervous leaving our puppy for the first time, but she put us completely at ease from the very start. Ilona was so warm, accommodating, and genuinely reassuring throughout the whole experience. Our pup had an absolute blast and exactly what we were hoping for: loads of activity, plenty of cuddles, and wonderful socialization with other dogs. Ilona's home is clearly a loving and stimulating environment, and you can just tell she genuinely loves and cares for your dog, The regular updates and photos she sent along the way meant the world to us to see our pup so happy. She is without a doubt incredibly skilled, and we will be rebooking without a single hesitation. Thank you so much Ilona, our puppy loved every moment!

Ilona is lovely and clearly loves dogs. She gave regular updates and our puppy came home very tired so she must have had fun. Will definitely use again.

Ilona looked after my dog this weekend after a last minute request and I felt she cared deeply about Nelly. She made sure she had her walks and also kept me posted about how Nelly was doing. Dog has come back happy. Thanks so much!
