Ilana R. Pet Care Provider in Richmond, VA 23260

I've always had a deep love and connection with animals. Being around them brings me peace and joy, and I truly enjoy building trust and creating a bond with every pet I care for. It's incredibly rewarding to provide comfort, attention, and love, especially when I know it helps both the pet and the owner feel secure and happy.

I have 4+ years of professional pet care experience, including working with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I worked as an Animal Caretaker for Pender Pet Retreat, Cat Sitting by Susan, volunteered with Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation, and I’ve been a Rover sitter for 2+ years. I’ve also rescued and fostered 9 pets and have been a lifelong pet owner to my cockapoo.

I'm trained to handle large dogs (up to 190 lbs), administer medications (oral, syringe, pills), and follow specific routines and instructions. I’m attentive, dependable, and experienced in recognizing animal behavior. I also stay active, so I’m great with high-energy pets that need exercise
