BOSTON'S BEST PET SITTER

Pet care experience

I have taken care of many of my friend's pets during college, while they were away for vacation. I know how to deal with all kinds of pet personalities, and I am especially experienced in dealing with highly sensitive pets. I love to take many pictures and send frequent updates so you don’t have to worry about your pet!

Ilya took such good care of my dog Sansa when I was away for a bachelor party. He was super flexible, and sent very informative updates every day about how she was doing on her walks and with the other dogs he was watching. He also sent lots of photos which I really appreciated! I felt very comfortable with her being in his care, and plan to have him watch her again in the future.

Ilya is seriously the best, most-trustworthy pet sitter we've ever had! My partner and I always feel so comfortable and at ease knowing that our senior pup, Zuko, with Ilya. I love the daily updates Ilya provides and his ability to be so accommodating. I really appreciate that he is able to cater to Zuko's need to use belly bands on top of all of the walks, cuddles, and attention I know Ilya gives him. I look forward to booking with Ilya again!

Ilya is excellent - just what my Chloe needed. Easy natured, diligent, and organized. I can only say positive things about how he managed her. I got daily updates from Ilya during her 9 day stay and pictures. I could tell Chloe was very well cared for and highly recommend him. I will keep bringing Chloe back to Ilya as long as he can take care of her.

Ilya was great caring for my dog. He made sure Harvey felt comfortable in the new space, and got along with other dogs who were there during his stay. Ilya was excellent with communication and sent lots of pictures throughout. I had no concerns during my travel, and will book again with him for other trips!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has very shallow stairs getting up to my apartment. Inside you will find a large living room with plenty of spaces for your cat to explore and your dog to lounge after a lengthy walk. I have a spare bedroom that I use primarily for hosting pets. Equipped with a pet bed, toys, water, AC, and everything your beloved animal may need. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! I do board only two dogs at a time. I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin!

Information Ilya V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to watch out for. Normally, a walk as soon as I get your dog helps me build a relationship quickly. Let me know about any dietary restrictions as well!

A typical day

I love to visit all the dog parks in our area. I am fortunate to live right next door to one. I like taking dogs to the gated dog park in Cambridge Crossing so they can run around safely off leash and socialize.

I currently work fully remote and would be available to give attention to your pet around the clock. Most of my projects are assigned so I am rarely in any meetings. Once I have finished my daily work responsibilities, I like to walk around the city. Perfect opportunity to get out of the house with your pet! :)
