WFH couple in a pet-free home
Pet care experience
We are dreaming of adopting a dog of our own someday, but for now we'd love to look after yours! On weekdays we work from home and can give your dog lots of attention, regular backyard outings, and a walk at lunch. Recent experience with fostering momma dog and 8 puppies, reactive stray dogs, and pet sitting dogs and cats for a week+.
Cat care experience
Ily & Ian also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I highly recommend ily et Ian ! They took fantastic care of my two dogs for a week, keeping them happy and well-loved. Regular updates made me feel at ease. Wonderful experience!
Rafa was in great care with Ily and Ian. I was completely comfortable leaving Rafa with them. Rafa was happy to return and was always greeted with a friendly good morning hug from his hosts. I highly recommend Ily and Ian. Thanks so much for making our time in Ottawa stress free (on the doggie care side anyway :))!!
This was Nyxie's second stay with Ily and Ian, for two long weeks this time, and it's obvious that they took really good care of her. Nyxie bonded with them during that time and certainly seems to miss them now. Ily sent daily updates with pictures and sometimes videos of their long walks and cuddle sessions. We enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in good loving hands.
Second time with Ily and Ian and my husky GSD Jelly had a great time! She is not much of a walker in the summer so they kept her entertained in their beautiful backyard and gave her all the cuddles she needed :) They took care of her great overnight for two nights. Perfect intake and perfect handoff. They ask great questions and really put you at ease. I would absolutely recommend them!
