Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for a dog in their home, my goal is to make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible with the same feeding times, walks, and favorite spots. I’ll make sure that everything feels familiar and stress-free. I’ve spent over a decade caring for my senior Chow Chow, so I’m especially patient and gentle with older dogs or those who need a little extra attention. I’ve also watched younger, energetic pups like golden retrievers and volunteer regularly at shelters, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I always make sure pets get the right mix of exercise, play, and calm time. I send photo updates and messages regularly so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. Your home will be left just as you found it — clean, secure, and filled with tail wags.

Information Lillian M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything special about your pet I’ll need to accommodate, I’ve worked with high needs pets in the past and am happy that I can continue doing so!

A typical day

When I care for your pets, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and activity. We’ll go on walks suited to their energy level, from relaxed strolls to long park adventures. I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, and using enrichment games to keep their minds busy. For older or calmer pets, I offer gentle walks, brushing, and cozy cuddle time. No matter their age or personality, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Pet care experience

I’ve spent the last 11 years caring for my elderly Chow Chow, and during that time I’ve also watched lots of other dogs, including two golden retrievers. I’m experienced with everything from playful pups to seniors who need gentler care. I also volunteer at local shelters walking dogs big and small, which has taught me how to build trust quickly and handle every kind of temperament. I’m calm, patient, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and full of treats. 😘

Lillian is the best! Always accommodating of our changing schedules and takes great care of our dog. She has been walking our dog weekly for several months now and we have had zero issues. Thanks Lillian!
