Availability
Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins without needing to work around a fixed job schedule.

About Ilona R.
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in side yard/patio, which allows for secure outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a friendly mini Goldendoodle who is social and comfortable around other dogs. In addition, I have a shy cat who is dog-friendly and generally keeps to himself.
Information Ilona R. would like to know about your pet
Before your dog stays with me, it helps to know their routine, personality, energy level, and any quirks or triggers. I’ll also want details on feeding schedule, medications, leash behavior, and how they do with other dogs or new environments. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to keep your dog comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with the dogs I watch is simple and consistent: we play, go for walks, eat on their normal schedule, and get plenty of cuddle and downtime in between. I keep their routine familiar, calm, and full of attention so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Experienced & Attentive Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for pets since my early teen years and have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and long-term clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs in their final years, and I’m comfortable giving medications, including pills and daily injections. For several years, I ran my own pet-sitting business throughout Northern Virginia. After recently moving to the Winchester area, I’m joining Rover to connect with new local families and continue doing something I genuinely love. I’ll do my best to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way.

Reviews
Ilona cared for our dog for the last couple of years of his life. She was kind, caring, responsible, and reliable. She was originally recommended by a friend, and I later recommended her to our neighbors. She pet sat for multiple families in the neighborhood and became someone we all trusted for pet care. We were very grateful that Ilona and her family welcomed our dog and treated him like one of their own. We always felt confident he was in excellent hands during our extended vacations.
