Enrichment-based Care
Pet care experience
I foster dogs and small animals through Underdog Pet Rescue and assist with training walks and sessions for dogs with reactivity or who need work on leash walking skills. I tend to in-home foster senior medical needs dogs, so that I can respect my resident dog’s needs as well. I’m a believer in walks as enrichment, whether that’s through sniffing, climbing, watching the world, or training and connecting with each other. I have 15 years experience with dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. I have 7 years of experience with small animals, and can provide drop in or boarding care for rabbits, Guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas. With my years of fostering, I am always excited to learn what is unique about the animal in front of me, and will endeavor to enrich their lives. Drop-ins and walks more than 15 miles from me will have an additional $5 charge per walk/drop-in.
Reviews
Cilyr did a fantastic job accommodating my two dogs’ unique needs. Will definitely be booking with Cilyr again.
Cilyr did a wonderful job and was very prompt and reliable. Great pet sitter!
My life has been 300 times more chaotic than usual in the last couple of months & it's been a great comfort to me knowing Cilyr is helping give the care my pup deserves. Cilyr does a great job tuning into my pup's needs at the time. It's been great being able to rebook the same trusted, pup & person approved individual :) I'm glad we found Cilyr!
Cliyr did a fantastic job caring my cat. She checked her everyday and was giving constant updates of her! Highly recommend!

Should you wish your dog to have off leash time, I am happy to adjust a walk session to a play session in my fenced yard. (Fence is 6 foot, privacy fence; yard is about 1/2 acre). Drop in care in your home could consist of 1-5 visits a day, and I will work with you and your animal on what kind of care and schedule would work best for your animal. Boarding for critters will have the option of you bringing their enclosure, or I can use one of my extras. I will interact at least twice a day in ways comfortable to your pet (Ex snuggles, puzzle toys, trick training, ball pits), clean enclosures daily, and wash all bedding every 4 days, or when soiled.

Information Cilyr E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what their expectations are for walks, including getting ready and coming home. (For example, do they expect a scatter feed in the yard after a walk?)
A typical day
During a walk, I’ll take the lead from your dog. If they’re into sniffing, we’ll follow their nose. If they’re focusing on me, we’ll make it a training game walk to learn new things and practice different kinds of walking (heel, turning, changing directions). If they struggle with reactivity, we’ll make sure to avoid triggers or set them up for success by starting at a distance they can handle, if you’d like me to work with them on it. When boarding, I like to rotate toys and enrichment in enclosures (Ex tunnels vs boxes, dig boxes, shreddable toys vs harder chew toys vs tossing toys) and ensure I handle them at least once a day to check for any potential issues.

Availability
I’m currently working full time overnight, and I have a resident dog and chinchilla who need their own attention. I plan a few walks or drop in care a day in the area near me; morning, afternoon, and evening. When boarding critters, they can expect attention and out of enclosure time at least twice per day.
