Pet care experience
No pet is too big or small, too young or too old, for me! With years of rescue pet experience, I myself am a two-time/current dog owner with volunteer training in handling shelter dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I also have experience in walking shy, reactive, blind, and senior dogs. Outside professional pet care, I have sat for friends’ cats, Dobermans, Chihuahuas, toy poodles, Akitas, Huskies and pitbull hybrids. Currently, I own a neutered male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Picasso, who is crate-trained, super calm and super low-maintenance… I.e. more time devoted to your baby! Picasso also has no problem sharing his toys/space/beds and loves making friends of all sizes, ages and shapes! Additionally, from 2020 to 2022, I fostered two stray cats until they both found their forever homes.
Reviews
Amazing as always! Lilian really goes the extra distance and also plays lots of fun games with my pup.
Lillian was amazing with my 6 month old puppy Winnie. She was so knowledgable about her needs and development (even knew more than me!lol) Lillian kept in touch all day which made me feel so comfortable as it was my first time leaving my pup, I knew she was in the best hands! Winnie loved her time with Lillian and we can’t wait to see her again!
Lillian was the absolute sweetest with Mango! You can tell she’s a true dog lover no matter what. It was great to see Mango warm up to Lillian and Picasso so quickly. He truly felt comfortable and at home with her.
Such a great experience with Lillian! She was so great with Josie and I’m excited to see her again!
About Lillian G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
No matter what, your dog’s comfort and safety come first: • The water bowl(s) are refreshed every hour (or as needed) • I own a secure doggy gate and extra doggy crate if dogs need quiet time/ personal space. My own dog is crate-trained & trained in all basic commands • All dogs are allowed on my bed and couch (unless you prefer yours not to). • Additionally, if your dog needs a bath – at your request, I am happy and able to scrub them in my tub (size regardless). Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! You can trust that any and all instructions you leave for me for your furry one will be followed with the utmost care.
Home
Information Lillian G. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of: • any medical conditions your pet has. • Your pet’s treat, sleep and temperature preferences/ requirements! I’m happy to accommodate. • Your pet’s favorite play method (off-leash in a dog run? tug of war? Favorite toys?) • Outside triggers that might stress your dog (scooters, train noises, etc) • Any type of dog or person they might negatively react toward • Lastly, your little buddy’s favorite ways to be petted! (Belly rubs, chin scratches, lap cuddles… all are good w me!)
A typical day
I tailor the experience to you and your pet’s preferences, so it can include any of the following and more: • endless tummy rubs • longer walks (I’m more than happy to take a high-energy pup for a longer walk or a play day at a park pre-approved by you) • rewarding with occasional owner-approved treats You and your furry one can also count on a relaxing staycation inside my dog-friendly condo. As dogs are welcome on any furniture in my apt, including bed and couch, I’m more than happy to oblige if they simply want to snuggle (if they enjoy TV-watching, let me know!) For some indoor fun, my apt is big enough to accommodate even a big dog in a game of fetch or catch! If the owner approves, I also own a selection of treat-based dog puzzles that will exercise both your pooch’s brain and body! (Please feel free to bring any favorite toys or games your dog loves.) I also enjoy makeshift indoor games with dogs (such as hide-and-seek) — and the dogs end up loving them, too! Outside my apt, I also have an easily accessible and safely enclosed rooftop for the pooches to romp around, play fetch, and/or just sunbathe on.
