Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind & attentive friend to all 🐩🐱
EN/FR | LGBTQ+ friendly *Prices are negotiable on a case-by-case basis. Please feel free to inquire and we can discuss. From 2 month old puppies to 18 year old cats I've tended to pets with a wide range of needs since the age of 8. I've administered medicine, given baths, and participated in the raising and training of my own dog growing up. Currently I work from home, so my hours are very flexible (with enough notice)! You can rest assured that great love and care will be put into time spent with your pet, and with that an understanding of the importance of each of their individual needs and personalities.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment building with no green space, but I am within walking distance of several parks including Percy Walters and Lucien-L'Allier dog parks. Pets are allowed on furniture.
Ratings and reviews
Ilya watched my cat and housesat for 10 days. Highly, highly recommend! I received photos and updates every day and returned to a spotless home. Thanks so much Ilya!!!

Ilya was an awesome sitter for Mimine the long weekend that we were away. They were very prompt with their communication, sent pictures every day, and kept up with the care she needs as a slightly older cat with a chronic illness. We were very pleased with how things were when we came back, and it’s a plus that we share common taste in music :))

Ilya is a very good sitter. Sent me pictures and updates daily so I am assures my dog was well. Was responsive to my requests. Took good care of the apartment. I highly recommend.

Ilya is an amazing sitter, great communicator and was very attentive to my girls! I received updates and lots of photos during my trip — I felt very at ease knowing my 2 dogs were in good hands. I have one very shy dog and Ilya did a great job handling her/winning her over. Ilya went the extra mile to leave my place clean for when I got home (which was so nice because I arrived super late). I absolutely recommend Ilya!


Having Ilya take care of our cat Chickpea for a few days was absolutely worth it. The experience from start to finish was top notch - Ilya is very responsive, accommodating, and clearly attuned to your pet’s care needs. Booking and reviewing Chickpea’s routine was super smooth, we received updates and pictures while we were gone, and we came back to a very happy little garbanzo bean. What more can you ask for? We would definitely trust Ilya with Chickpea’s care again in the future.

Ilya a fait un super job pour s'occuper de mes 2 chiens et a fait preuve de confiance quand une situation inattendue s'est présentée. Merci!

Schedule
I'm currently work from home on my own time, so my schedule is quite flexible and open, making it usually possible to work around a pet's routine.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsIlya can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or triggers I should know about. It would also be good to know how your dog gets along with other dogs and if they are spayed/neutered in case we run into other dogs on walks or at the dog park. Ideally, I like to meet-up beforehand so I can get to know your pet before we book.
