About Ilse H.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer pet sitting in my client’s home to keep pets in the environment they feel safest. Before pet sitting for the first time, I will always ask that we meet, take a walk or have a chat with your fur baby present so that we confirm it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m here to learn from you, not run in as an expert or an uncaring sitter.
Information Ilse H. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any bite history or stranger aggression? Are they comfortable around people? Around dogs and cats? Has your pet done any hunting or other things that would make them react to other animals?
A typical day
I like to make sure the pets I look after have a fun and engaging experience during my visit. For dogs, I’ll take them out for 2-3 30-minute walks with enrichment time all throughout (getting to take in the sights and smells of nature). For cats, I like to have 2 15-minute play sessions if they’re playful. If not, I roll with what they like more.

Pet care experience
I have been a pet sitter in the Boston/Cambridge area for the past 3 years with experience working with cats, dogs, and birds. I largely work with cats and dogs that might need a little extra attention. Does your furry friend need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I’ve dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I’m here to help.
Reviews
Isle was great with our cat! She was very kind, thoughtful and communicative during her stay. We came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. All directions were followed. Would recommend to others. Thank you, Ilse!
Ilse was amazing I will definitely be booking her to stay with my cat Lentil again!! Lentil was so well cared for and loved hanging with Ilse- when i got back Lentil didn't even seem to notice I had been gone! Thank you Ilse!!
Ilse did a fantastic job with Olive! She took such great care of her and provided timely updates and pictures. Would love to have her watch Olive again!
Ilse was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious dog while I was out of town. She handled my dog's reactivity well and gave her lots of care and attention. Ilse was communicative and flexible and I highly recommend their services. I will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
