Our neighborhood is quiet, with cul-de-sac streets and no through traffic, which makes it perfect for calm walks. Just steps away there is a large safe park where many friendly dogs play.

Information Ilona P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or behavior quirks so I can make their stay as comfortable as possible. I’d like to know if your pup gets along with other dogs, their feeding schedule, and their usual energy level. This helps me plan the right activities and make sure they feel at home. I welcome all breeds, but it’s important for me to know if your dog has any fears (like fireworks, loud noises, or separation anxiety) so I can provide extra care

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about balance between fun, activity, and comfort. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise — we’ll go for long walks around my quiet neighborhood, explore the nearby park, and play games that keep them active and happy. I also love to include mental stimulation like training practice, sniff games, or puzzle toys. After playtime, your pup will enjoy relaxation in my spacious home and fenced backyard, where they can safely run and rest.

Ilona P.'s Neighborhood

Loved & safe — fenced yard and park

Pet care experience

I truly love animals, and animals naturally love me back. I live in a spacious home with a large, secure backyard — everything is fully fenced with a tall gate, so your pup will always be safe. I work from home and stay here all day, which means pets are never left alone and always get plenty of attention. Our neighborhood is very quiet, with cul-de-sac streets and no through traffic, making walks calm and stress-free. Just ten steps from my home there is a big, safe park where many friendly dogs love to play. Pets in my care enjoy plenty of space indoors and outdoors, peaceful surroundings, and most importantly — lots of love, comfort, and attention every single day.

Ilona worked wonders with Apple Jacks during his stay with her over the long weekend holiday. He's never made so many furry friends in his life, and he has lever looked so hoppy when I picked him up. We can't wait to bring him for a visit again. Communication is excellent and all the photos are fantastic! Thank you!!! Cheers! 🙌

Ilona looked after my two dobermans for two weeks. Gable has been with me for almost 6 years, but Ollie joined our pack just 2 months ago, and she is still in training. I loved the daily pictures and updates. It helped me relax, knowing that my fur-babies are in good hands. Next time I need someone to look after my doggos while I'm traveling, I'll come back to Ilona, for sure! Thank you so much!

Ilona provides a loving environment while we spent the day at Six Flags. Our dog, Penelope, had a wonderful day at her home. Ilona is very quick to respond, reliable, caring & flexible. Highly recommend her as your next pet-sitter!!

Pepper was extremely well taken care of with Ilona! She had lots of fun, and Ilona sent tons of pictures the whole time so we could see how she was doing. Always responsive and easy to reach. Highly recommend!
