I like to prioritize my time for connection with each pet, so I like to leave gaps between my visits in case more care or play is needed during my visit. For house and pet sitting, I want to spend more time with your pet and then take fewer drop-in visits, so the cost reflects this. I do have Pet Insurance beyond Rover as well just in case it is needed. It never has been but I want all pets safe, sound, and happy

About Lila K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I use positive reinforcement to create a loving secure relationship with each pet. This is done with respect for their own agency while engaging in mental, physical, and relaxation activities.
Information Lila K. would like to know about your pet
I do love to meet you and your pets in person to establish trust and routine before the first away pet visit. I want to know everything about each pet! what their needs are emotionally and physically. For instance, are they put in a kennel at night, does calming music help them while you are away? I have a form filled out at our first meeting to get all the details.
A typical day
I like to first say hello to each pet, then give them their outside time and food. After that, I see what each pet needs in terms of affection and play. I also check the house or kennels to make sure all is well.

Pet care experience
Hi I am Lila, conveniently located behind the gates of Hidden Valley Lake. I am a highly sensitive person who has had a special relationship with animals since I was young. I believe they are our teachers as much as we are their guides & guardians. Often when I meet a pet we love each other instantly (of course there can be some shy ones too!) yet with time, attunement, & positive reinforcement a deeper trust gets built. Even with the most secure, adjusted cat or dog, there can be a bit of extra stress while you are gone. Relationship building helps them feel relaxed and safe while their 'pack' is away’. They co-regulate with us, just as we co-regulate with them. I love learning what type of engagement/enrichment each pet loves. I am great with sensitive pets and support them. I keep you updated with photos and any observations I may have or suggestions of extra support for them. I only work with reasonably socialized dogs - if there are higher levels of behavioral issues, I can refer a good trainer in the area if needed. I sometimes work with protective dog breeds (GSD etc) but only if they are trained and friendly. I am not working with pit bulls at this time (I have met some sweet ones).

Reviews
Lila was amazing and we will have her again. She took such great care of our Sadie and we didn't have to worry.
So pleased with my first experience having Lila dog sit our one-year-old Australian Shepard for 2 days in our home. She is very organized, asked good questions to taylor her care, offered good training tips and was successful in getting her to "settle". Most important of all, she formed a lasting bond with her as evidenced by Echo wanting to go into the guest room for several days in a row to look for her, sniff where her belongings were layed, and making me open the closet doors to make sure she wasn't in there! I look forward to having Lila care for our pup again.
Lila is very caring and her communication was great! She sent pictures every day during her drop in’s and left a gift at the end. Would most definitely rebook with her.
