Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are part of the family!
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.

Ratings and reviews
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.
So so lovely and bubbly! Very quick at replying and kept me up to date with everything! Took Milo for lovely walks and he even came home smelling lovely! Will definitely book again thank you so much!
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!
Ilona was amazing looking after our precious dog for almost a whole week! As we’ve never left Lana with a dog sitter before I felt a bit anxious about it - but Ilona made me feel so at ease and kept me up to date every day with lots of lovely photos of their walks and cuddles together. Ilona was super understanding of Lana’s flaws and needs which I’m so grateful for! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Lana Xx
Ilona looked after my dog, Skye, while we were on holiday and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She is clearly very experienced with dogs, and Skye warmed up to her straight away. Throughout our time away, Ilona kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was so reassuring. It was clear from the updates that Skye was relaxed, happy, and very well looked after. I will definitely be using Ilona’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine—we’re out multiple times a day enjoying nature, and any pets in my care come along for every adventure. Whether it’s a hike, park stroll, or running errands, they’re treated like part of the family every step of the way.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are cared for with the utmost focus on safety, trust, and a calm, loving environment. They're never just visitors, they're family. Photos will be sent to you throughout the day and videos if wanted. Your pet will be loved and safe.
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.

- 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.
