About Ilse M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

Let me know if your dogs has any special needs or if it's not kid friendly as I do have kids and your pets safety along with the safety of my own childhood 3-year-old active boy he keeps away from dogs. 3 girls 5yr who is obsessed with dogs will play fetch until they are both tired, 12yr, 16-year-old who all love dogs and would spent time with me while I pet sit.

We will play fetch in our fenced backyard. If the pet is dog and kid friendly we will also play in the roundabout in front of our house. But mostly exploring our backyard.

Pup-Senior your fur baby is family
Pet care experience
Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family.
Reviews

Ilse did a great job taking care of our dog Quinn when we were away last week. She kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. We would definitely recommend her for pet sitting and would have her watch Quinn again.

I'm so very graceful I found Ilse and family to care for our sweet pup while we were out of the country. They were loving, playful and attentive while also sending daily news/updates with photos and videos. We feel as though Onyx has another family in them and we will absolutely book again when we travel next. Thank you for allowing Onyx to thrive in your care, Ilse!


Our dogs loved staying over. They were there for four days and we got several photos. If you’re looking for a boarder near Auburn book with her.

Received a lot of updates and pictures on our dog. This was our dog’s first time in a setting with more than one dog. Appreciated all the feedbacks received from Ilse on how he did around them. Although he might have been anxious in that setting, I felt confident Ilse made him as comfortable as possible.
