Pet care experience

Reliable, WFH, home-style dog care

Hi! I’m Ilsa! I have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I work from home full-time, so pets staying with me get lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My partner, also helps share responsibilities during stays, so your pet will have plenty of care and attention while they’re here. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, administering medications, following specific routines, and helping reinforce training and good habits. I especially enjoy working with dogs on consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement in a calm and patient way. We have a very friendly dog and two cats in our home. Our dog is extremely gentle, submissive, and gets along well with every dog she’s met. Our cats are very dog-savvy and used to being around visiting dogs, which helps create a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy, comfortable, and fun for both you and your pet. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed environment where your pet feels cared for, loved, and right at home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have access to a fenced backyard as well as several wonderful parks and walking areas nearby, so there are plenty of safe and fun places for your pup to explore, exercise, and relax. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, crating, medications, training routines, and bedtime habits. I know every pet is different, and I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home while maintaining consistency with their normal care. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and well suited for social dogs. We also have a very friendly dog and two dog-savvy cats who are used to being around visiting pets. Safety, supervision, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for are always my top priorities.

Our 5-year-old poodle Louis stayed 6 days with Ilsa, her pup Fig, and her 2 cats. It was one of his best boarding experiences. He was well-cared for, with lots of activity and stimulation.

I can’t recommend Ilsa enough. She was super communicative throughout my pup’s entire stay, sending daily pictures, videos and updates. Plus, Fig was an incredible playmate too! My dog came home happy and exhausted :) I’ll definitely be booking with Ilsa again.

Ilsa is a great dog sitter! She sent me tons of cute pics and videos of my dog during his stay. She lives in a great neighborhood with a yard which I know my dog loved. I would absolutely recommend her services and definitely book with her again!

My dog had a lot of fun with her and her furry friend! They also kept me updated on how my dog was doing. Will definitely be coming back for more play dates.

Schedule

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Between myself and my partner, Brooke, someone is almost always home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax in a calm environment while you’re away.
