Mature, Attuned Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi I am Lila, conveniently located behind the gates in Hidden Valley Lake. I have been caring for dogs and cats off and on for over 20 years after leaving my demanding corporate job & working as a massage therapist my clients naturally asked me to take care of their pets. Since childhood, animals, especially sensitive ones have always gravitated towards me. I am Magic with cats even the shy ones. I love to establish a visiting routine and a relationship with each pet. This helps them feel relaxed and safe while their 'pack' is away, even with the most secure and adjusted cat or dog they can have a little extra stress with the separation. They co-regulate with us, just as we co-regulate with them. I love sending pupdates to help you be relaxed as well. I am excellent with sensitive pets but don't work with animals that are aggressive or have challenging behavioral issues any longer. Generally, I don't work with breeds that are traditionally for protection like Pit Bulls, Dobermans, etc. although I do respect them and what they offer. I can do some medication if it is just put into a greenie or food and add supplements to food as well.

Lila took amazing care of our pet while we were away. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again in the future . She made sure knew every detail to ensure the safety and well being of our kitty . Receiving pictures of the visits were also comforting .

Lila went above and beyond while dog-sitting our two pooches while we were away over the holidays. Gave them all the attention they needed, fed, watered, made sure they didn't leave any messes. Would 100% use her again.

Lila was reliable and out in the effort to draw my shy cat out from under the bed to play as well as comfort my sensitive head-case boy.

I would definitely recommend Lila for your pet sitting needs. She is a quiet, calm, caring soul that is very intuitive with animals and their needs. She has taken care of our old cat Mr Kitty who loved her. She even brought him a kitty toy while taking care of him.

Safety, trust & environment

I connect with each pet on their terms letting them know they are safe and loved while you are away. They are cuddled, played with, and given a few extra treats (in healthy doses) all in accordance with their established needs and routine.

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.
