Graduate Student & Cat Mom
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ilya and I am an occupational therapy graduate student living with my 2 cats, Ronald and Margot. I’m excited to have an opportunity to once again work with animals and to find a fun part time job that works around my class schedule! I have many years of experience in caring for dogs, cats, and many things in between. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out, thank you much!
Reviews
Ilya was amazing!! She was so communicative and thoughtful throughout her stay with our two cats. She made sure to checkin regularly and it was clear that she has a love and passion for animals. It was great that we could feel comfortable that our cats were taken care of while we were gone. You would be lucky to book her for your pet sitting needs!
Ilya is amazing. Our pups loved her right off the bat. They came back very happy and well-taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us lots of updates. Will be booking again :)
She did an amazing job and kept me updated with messages and pictures.
Ilya was perfect with our cats while we were 1,000 miles away for 9 nights. Our cats’ food and feeding schedule is more complicated than typical cats because we don’t free feed and one has allergies. We also have supplements we occasionally add to the food. Ilya handled it all perfectly and wasn’t offended by overly detailed printouts. She left our place clean and vacuumed, communicated well, played with the cats, and sent pictures everyday. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions or let us know about any issues. We would hire Ilya 100 times over!

Safety, trust & environment
I understand that allowing someone you don’t know to care for your pets is an unnerving process. It is super important to me that there is trust between myself and my clients before their animals are left in my care. I can do in-person meet and greets, phone call interviews, or video calls to make sure that it’s the right fit. I not only want the best for your lovely pets, but I hope to make the pet care experience comfortable for you as well!

A typical day
I love going on walks and exploring the parks near my house, so having a dog by my side would truly be an added bonus! If your dog is social, I always enjoy checking out dog parks as well!
