I have known Ilana for more than fourteen years.She is very much a community person supporting and working with a number of local organisations and charities. Ilana is a very energetic person with a vital personality. Combine this with a kind and generous heart and you will understand that Ilana is a very special person. Any dog will have an immediate rapport with Ilana . I have seen her with a variety of friends’ dogs.They recognise her as the top dog but they love to play, cuddle and run with her. Ilana has looked after my own dog,Sally,on several occasions, overnight and also just for the day.Sally sleeps in her own space and eats exactly what I provide. She, reluctantly, leaves Ilana and returns happy, well fed and relaxed after a super break from me! Being organised and forward planning are two essential elements of Ilana’s life. She is always prepared for any eventuality. If I needed a house sitter to look after my home and my precious Sally, Ilana is the only person I would call. I cannot recommend her highly enough
