Safety, trust & environment

I ask a lot of questions, dogs can be nervous with a change in routine, so I like to be confident I know what their normal looks like. I always ask about any social issues/aggression/ anxieties etc so I can best navigate their needs. Overall, you’re the expert on your dog and I am good at following instructions.

Information Lila W. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any medications I should be aware of, and how your dog interacts with other animals. I’m pretty well trained at letting dogs get to know me and working within their comfort levels, but if your dog is particularly timid, just let me know!

A typical day

I love walks and runs! I could be outside all day! I really enjoy getting quality time with dogs so you can be sure there will be plenty of pets and toys to be played with. (Most likely some pictures taken) I would love to go above and beyond to give you and your pet the best stay I can! I keep a leash, ball and dog treats in my car at all times just in case! I also love reading, so for my less active dogs, I can happily spend hours just hanging out! I work from my laptop, so I’m super flexible there as well!

Highly Experienced Dog Lover 🐶

Pet care experience

My name is Lila, I’m 26, have 2 and a half (shared custody with my parents) dogs of my own, and have over a decade of experience with dog training and care. I’m located in south broad ripple. My childhood dog had a medical condition that caused her to be rather unpredictable, so at 10 I started taking training classes so that I would be able to safely support my puppy dog as best I could. My boyfriend says that I have a way with weird animals, and it’s silly but true. I’m also a little anxious and particular and would probably benefit from a thunder vest, so while I love being around all dogs, I am especially in my element with my little nervous friends. I’ve worked with senior dogs that have medication needs and have to be carried outside, puppies of all energy levels and puppy teeth sharpness, and everything in between. My dogs are the most important facets of my world and I do not take the responsibility of care lightly, for my own dogs or yours. Their safety and happiness is my priority, as is your comfort in their care. As I mentioned, I’ve been obsessed with all things dogs since I was a child, so any chance I get to make a new little friend is like a holiday for me. I’m up for big walks, runs, and carrying a baby doggy home when they’re just tooooo sleepy to finish their walk (my little girl is a big fan of this one). Let me know all your goofy care rituals and I’m on it. Personally I have a song and dance I do for my dogs when they wake up in the morning, and am not above performing for yours as well!

Lila is so great and reliable! I appreciate that she adapts to my puppy’s needs as my puppy grows. I had a very happy dog when I got home! Great notes and photos from the visits.

Lila was reliable and kept us informed as to how things were going with photos as well. The dogs looked happy. She administered their medications as requested and walked them. We are retired and home with the dogs most of the time so they did not get let out as much. I found accidents in the house that I had to clean up when we got home.
