New - Looking for Pets to Dote On!

I started caring for pets when I was 12 years old. I love working with dogs and spend a lot of my free time training them. I trained my own dog, who performs three tasks for me and knows 10+ additional commands. If you’re looking for a sitter or walker who might teach your dog a new trick like “shake” or reinforce commands like “stay” while they’re there, I’m your guy! I may be on the smaller side, but don’t let that fool you—I have plenty of experience with large dogs. My best friend growing up was my 200+ lb Newfoundland!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or training methods you already use. I am very calm when I first meet animals, and I even find that shy animals tend to love me as I go at each individual animal’s pace.

Ilya did a wonderful job watching my pup Val and cat Roara while I was on vacation! Provided updates each day and was patient with my pup who can sometimes take a while to warm up to people! She was Ilya's biggest fan in no time, lots of play and belly rubs! I would highly recommend!

You could not find a better pet sitter than Ilya! He absolutely loves animals and would treat your dog like his own. Ilya grew up with dogs his whole life including a 200 pound Newfoundland, who was his best friend. Now, he has his own dog, Willa who he has trained to be a wonderful dog. Ilya is very kind, patient and responsible. He would do a great job with dogs of any temperament.

I am free most days to come play with your pups and get them outside exploring the neighborhood. I love training dogs in my spare time and seeing them grow in confidence and skills! I currently am unable to stay overnight / all day for petsitting.

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, allergies, or training methods that you’d like me to follow. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your fur babies!
