Safety, trust & environment

Information Lillian W. would like to know about your pet

In my experience, there are a few important details to know before the first visit. If your dog is unsure about strangers, we can meet at a local park first with treats before meeting in the home. I’d also make sure I know if the dog is people or dog reactive, so that I can ensure the right precautions on walks. Additionally, if your dog has been trained a certain way, I’d be sure to practice these skills during our visits.

A typical day

A typical day with me as a pet sitter will include a long walk so that your dog will take in as many smells as they want, play time with their favorite toys, and ending the visit with their favorite treat or enrichment, like a Kong or lickmat.

Pet care experience

Since I was 8 years old, Taking care of pets has been my favorite kind of work. I started in my neighborhood and never stopped! Whether it is a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, I am happy to help! I have administered medications, walked dogs, taken care of dogs for long periods of time, and given each dog (and cat!) the love and attention they deserve. I also worked at an animal shelter, where I gained animal behavior experience. I am hyper focused on detail, making me a trustworthy pet care professional. I take the needs of each animal very seriously, and I make sure I understand the different behaviors & quirks of each dog or cat. I treat each pet with extreme care, kindness, and love, as I know from having my own that they are family. My dog has strengthened my pet care skills. Frankie is dog reactive, and I put him through intensive positive reinforcement training. He is also a corgi with a lot of energy. With time and patience, I have shaped him into a happy and healthy dog I knew he could be. If your dog has behavioral issues, I would be happy to meet them a few times before booking a walk or visit. I am also well versed with dog and people reactivity, and I am comfortable managing those behaviors. I look forward to meeting your pet & making new memories!

Lillian was amazing to work with, especially since she was able to help out last minute. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. My dog was clearly in great hands. I would definitely use her again!

Lillian helped us out in a pinch and did a great job with our puppy! Saw ring camera footage and I could tell from our dog's body language that she was so happy and felt very comfortable with Lillian.

Lillian covered for us when our regular dog walker was out, and was completely professional and kind! We appreciated her attentiveness to our pup and the updates mid day.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
