About Lillian & Magdalyn P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fenced yard. I can also crate your dog if needed. I believe dogs want to be outside for a large portion of the day, and strive to make that happen (if weather is applicable). If weather is not ideal, I do short intervals outside, and multiple short walks throughout the day.
Information Lillian & Magdalyn P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any dietary restrictions, as I love to reward good behavior with small portions of treats. I give my dog all natural treats, and often make my own dog treats. His favorite is carrot sticks coated in pumpkin puree and then baked!
A typical day
I’d love to spend as much time outside as possible. It’s that not doable because of weather, I believe mental stimulation can go a long way for high-energy dogs. For my dog I will sometimes set up an obstacle course with hidden treats in our garage!

Pets
Calm, assertive, loving
Pet care experience
I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve administered ear, eye, and oral medications. I’ve dealt with strict diets, and exercise/ obedience training with dogs. I believe a calm, yet assertive presence goes a long way. Animals and humans uniting as one is so beautiful to me, and is why I enforce a very energetic approach in fostering exercise, discipline, and affection. Animals want to return to their balanced state of homeostasis, and it’s up to us humans to help them get there.
Cat care experience
Lillian & Magdalyn also care for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Lillian did an amazing job not only with our 2 dogs also our tiny bird (GCC). She took the dogs on walks, entertained the bird and kept everyone safe during the tornado sirens. Sitting for a bird is a WHOLE different world, and she rocked it! She kept to feeding and bed schedules and routines like a champ! We are very grateful and will book again!
We couldn’t be happier with Lillian! She stayed at our home for 6 days and took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. From the start, she was communicative and reliable, keeping us updated regularly so we could enjoy our time away with total peace of mind. What really set Lillian apart was how much she went above and beyond. Not only did she keep our pups happy and well-cared for, but she also picked up after them in the yard and even vacuumed the living room! She also kept the dogs busy by going on walks and taking them to the park. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. She treated our home and our fur babies with so much respect, and we will absolutely be booking her again!
Lilly has been working with animals her whole life. She has dedicated a portion of her time to learning animal (especially dog) psychology, helping her better understand and connect with animals. She is incredibly passionate and dedicated to everything she puts her energy into and is an absolutely wonderful pet caregiver.
