Former Groomer! Home full time!
Pet care experience
Hello, I am Lilley. I was a dog groomer for five years and I have had family pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with dogs including grooming, training, health and being a Rover sitter! I am currently a stay at home soon to be mom. Animals are my passion! I volunteered at dog shelters in Costa Rica where I walked the blind dogs, socialized dogs deemed not sociable and bathed and groomed dogs rescued off the streets. I recently received my pet CPR certification. Working with and helping animals is the greatest feeling imaginable. I am no longer a groomer professionally but I miss working with dogs every day. I have a Boston/Pug mix, named Derby and he is the love my life! (don't tell my husband!) I also have two cats, Robin Sparkles and Steve Harvey. Why I love dog walking: I have been a dog/animal lover my whole life. I have always had family pets growing up. We have our dog Derby and our Cats Robin and Steve and they mean everything to us. I was a dog groomer for 5 years, Rover pet sitter, and have also worked in doggy daycare's. Animals are my passion. I miss working with them every day which is why I work with Rover! Meet my pets Boston/Pug named Derby Cat named Robin Sparkles Cat named Steve Harvey My experience administering medication Yes, I have plenty of experience administering medication to animals including to Toucans in Costa Rica! I have experience giving both cats and dogs pills and insulin shots. I also love taking pictures of our adventures, and will happily share them with you while you are away!
Reviews
Lilley, her husband, and Derby are the BEST! They took really good care of my Samson. Lilley contacted me daily with photos and updates. Besides being great dog sitters, they are just great people!
Lilley was there for us and our pet when we needed a last-minute sitter over the holidays to look after our kitty. She did a wonderful job. She communicated promptly and was eager to meet any requests we had. Our kitty made friends with Lilley immediately, and enjoyed her company while we were away. She sent some great photos of him while we were away, even better than some we've taken ourselves. We will definitely contact Lilley again!
Lilley is a true dog lover. She has been so kind and watchful of our dog Bongo, who is both blind and deaf. Bongo gets all happy and excited whenever we see Lilley; we trust her implicitly with our beloved old dog! You couldn't ask for a better "dog sitter."
As always, Lilley was great with Harley and Phoebe! I could not ask for a better sitter! The dogs love spending time with her and Derby and always come back happy and tired!

Information Lilley P. would like to know about your pet
I am accepting to all breed types. Before caring for your dog or cat, I would like to know personality traits, whether it be the things they love like their favorite treats, toys, scratch spot, etc. OR things to watch for like allergies, sensitive areas, medications, escape artists, etc. If you are staying in my home, I do have a dog and two cats so your dog would need to be accepting of that. Derby likes to come along during walks but if your pet does not do well with others then he can always stay home!
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks: We have a small park right out front of my door as well as plenty of safe neighborhoods I love walking in. I have a small but fenced yard for quick potty breaks. If I am walking near your house then I will find a safe place to walk. I like to take Derby to the fenced dog park or the river so if you are comfortable with your dog coming we can go there too! I like walks rain or shine.
