I do have two cats, so please let me know if you don’t know if your dog is good with cats and we can schedule a meet and greet!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a small town in Washington with many dogs, cats and horses. Animals were just as much a part of the family as we were. While I have two cats, I miss having the company of dogs so I love to Rover!! I am comfortable with all breeds, personalities, health issues, etc!

So grateful to Ilsa for taking such great care of Leo while we were gone for 3 weeks. We arranged a half day trial before the trip to make sure it was a good fit and he would get along with her other pets and Ilsa was super communicative. While on our trip, she truly treated him like her own and sent us photos and updates throughout the time he was with her. She is someone who is so loving and knowledgeable with pets and I highly recommend her!

Frida loved her stay. Communication was great while we were away and knew she was in good hands. When we picked up Frida was happy and I can tell she had a good stay. I would highly recommend to book with Ilsa, she communicated well and you can tell she really cares about your fur baby!
