Information Ilona Z. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, behavior, dietary needs, health conditions, and any special requirements. Let me know if they have allergies, medications, fears, or specific habits so I can provide the best care possible

A typical day

I follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. A typical day includes feeding, playtime, cuddles, and any necessary care like grooming or administering medication. For fun activities, I engage pets with interactive toys, play fetch or chase (if they enjoy it), and provide plenty of affection and attention. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel happy and loved.

Full pet care from a future canine specialist 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a full-time sitter currently training to become a certified canine specialist (dog behaviorist). Pet care isn't just a hobby for me - it's my main focus and passion. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I tailor my care to fit each pet's unique needs. 🐶 24/7 attention - I don't have another job, so your pet will always be with me, receiving care, love, and companionship. They'll have full access to my home and will feel safe and at ease. 🌳 Walks & outdoor play - We'll explore parks in the area and enjoy time in the nearby fenced dog field where your dog can run off-leash. 💊 Health & safety - With my medical background, I can confidently care for pets with special needs, including administering medication. 💬 Personalized care & regular updates - I always ask detailed questions before a booking to make sure your pet feels at home. And while you're away, I'll send daily photos and videos so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe. This journey started when I cared for my own beloved dog, who lived a long and joyful life. That experience inspired me to fully commit to helping other pets feel just as loved. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Ilona was amazing and did a great job with our dogs! They're both nervous with strangers and they warmed up to her immediately and had a great time! She gave consistent updates and has great communication. We will definitely hire her again!

Ilona looked after our little dog Heidi, who is elderly, blind, and anxious, and we were delighted by her reliability and professionalism. We received many photos and videos throughout Heidi’s stay, which reassured us greatly. She is also a very kind, warm, and caring person who genuinely looks after the animals entrusted to her. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services again.

Ilona was amazing!! Ozzie had such a great time with her while we were away. We booked her to stay at our place. She is very knowledgeable with dogs. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and I’m so glad we chose Ilona. Communication was great. I highly recommend her, we already requested her for our next holiday!

Ilona was the perfect dog sitter for us! Elmer is a young and very energetic labrador and can be challenging to care for but Ilona was super knowledgeable, professional and happy to cater to his needs! He got lots of attention, good walks and play time and was really happy in her care. Ilona is also very kind, reliable and sent us lots of updates which made us very comfortable being away from Elmer. We will definitely be booking Ilona to come back anytime we need! Thank you so much Ilona 💕
