Introduction
Hello! My name is Ilona (pronounced ee-LO-na) and it's lovely to meet you! I'm here to offer my services for anyone seeking a pet sitter or a house sitter.
ABOUT ME: I'm college educated (BA in journalism), and I'm passionate about everything from psychology to history to humanitarian work.
My work experience is in nonprofits, tech, and startups. I'm also certified for home care (certification received in Maryland) and assisted the elderly with basic care needs. And I'm a certified Reiki Level II practitioner.
I've been a cat mom for 4+ years, and I've done pet sitting for my friends' pets. I love animals and would care for your pets like my own - with a lot of love.
I would also be available to house sit, and will advise on any specific terms based on duration and location.
I'm fluent in Russian, in case translation would be helpful. My Spanish language skill are at the beginner level.
Please send any questions you have. I look forward to working with you! :D

Ilona took care of my 1 1/2year-old cat Sparrow while I went to visit my family across the country for 10 days. Sparrow is a shy tuxedo cat and she’s gentle, but skittish. She is an indoor-outdoor cat and loves her independence as much as snuggles with her mom.
Ilona cared for her while also caring for a second cat in the same space, and ensured that both pets received lots of care and attention. I had nanny cams set up in my space because I had not had good experiences leaving Sparrow to be watched by friends and roommates in the past, so I was pretty nervous.
Ilona was really helpful in alleviating my anxiety, because I could see throughout my trip that Sparrow was getting her food and morning routine going between 7 and 7:30 AM daily, as I requested. She was able to relax around Ilona after only a few days of interaction, and soon she accepted pets and back scratches.
Ilona played with her daily and encouraged her to feel at ease. She also went to look for her on the nights when Sparrow stayed out hunting, ensuring she was back home. Ilona provided me with updates regularly, and helped me to be far less stressed during my time away.
I could sense Ilona cared for Sparrow and would trust her to cat-sit for me again.
