"Shes the best! Choose her!"-Ur dog

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!

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!

Ilsa was amazing! She took phenomenal care of Bella and I have literally never seen her so happy when picking her up from a sitter. She was super flexible on pickup and drop-off times and very communicative during our trip. She even took her to Norm's in Fremont! We will definitely have Ilsa watch Bella again.

Freyja had a terrific time under Ilsa's care. I was a little worried because Freyja has not been around cats much, which Ilsa has 2 of her own. Ilsa assured me that Freyja is having a blast, and taking really well with the cats. I'm very grateful to Ilsa for taking such great care of my pup and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Ilsa was wonderful with Bailey, who can be a timid dog. Her updates and pictures assured us that our dog was in good hands! We will definitely use Ilsa again and highly recommend her.
