About Ilia

Hi, I'm Ilia, queer, 34 years old.
I'm a visual artist (my practice spans photography, videography, and performance), which means I bring patience, close observation, and a calm, attentive presence into everything I do — including dog sitting.
I've cared for dogs of many different personalities, from high-energy pups needing structured exercise to more sensitive or reactive dogs who need a slower, quieter approach. Over time I've handled situations like managing leash reactivity around other dogs, easing separation anxiety during longer stays, and adjusting routines for older or more nervous dogs who need extra reassurance. I'm comfortable with basic training cues, administering oral medication, and reinforcing whatever boundaries you've already established at home.
Services & logistics:
Walks: usually 30 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on your dog's needs.
Day care: your dog spends the day with me, with a mix of activity and rest
Boarding/overnight stays: available at your home or mine
Home visits: drop-in check-ins, feeding, and walks while you're away
I can accept up to 3 dog(s) at a time, to make sure each one gets proper attention
Comfortable giving oral medication and monitoring dogs with mild health needs
I follow your dog's existing routine closely — feeding schedule, walking habits, training cues — so the transition feels seamless for them. Dogs are rarely left alone for long stretches; if I do need to step out, it's typically no more than 2–4 hours, and I make sure they're settled and comfortable first. I'm attentive to early signs of stress or discomfort and act quickly to keep things calm, and I know how to respond if a health issue or emergency comes up — staying calm, taking appropriate steps, and contacting you right away.
At home, your dog stays in a quiet, clean, dog-proofed space. I supervise closely, keep the atmosphere relaxed, and adapt the space to your dog's habits.
You'll get regular updates, photos, and messages throughout, so you always know how things are going. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe and at ease, and you feel completely confident leaving them with me.
Don't hesitate to ask me anything!

Gratefully, Ilia.
