Animal Lover Looking For Work

Hello! I’m Lily, an organized, reliable post graduate with a fully remote full time job, some free time, and a love for people and animals. I have always had a special bond with animals, and since I don’t have pets of my own in Chicago, I get lonely working from home and want to get outside :) You can be sure your pet will get plenty of attention, love, and fresh air! We have no kids or other pets and plenty of parks and grass nearby! I pride myself on my communication and punctuality and am happy to provide references from past experiences. I have taken care of all sorts of shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I’m looking forward to speaking with you and meeting your fur babies too! :)

Lily was fantastic. Communicative, prompt, and Hobbes had the best time! Came home tired and happy. Will definitely have Lily watch Hobbes again.

Lily was super sweet, communicative, and flexible the entire time she watched my pup! When I went to pick him up, it was obvious he had a stellar time with Lily and was looking happy and healthy. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone with a pup in need of a stellar sitter!!

Lily was wonderful. My dog howled when she was gone (unexpectedly) and she handled it like a pro. Thank you,Lily.

Tango had a nice stay with Lily. He can get a little anxious, but seemed to settle in comfortably at her place. Would definitely use her again.

Schedule

I have a fully remote marketing job that allows me to be available at the beginning and end of each work day as well as time for play and potty breaks throughout the middle of the day. We have a huge 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment that my roommate and I share and are typically around on the weekends. We have a fenced in outdoor area in front for quick potty breaks and play!

Safety, trust & environment

I like the Rover features that track location and time and always provide lots of pictures! I consider communication key and would expect to be clearly communicated with as well. There is no such thing as overkill, the more info, the better! Please be on time and respect the times that you choose to book for. Happy to help with other house needs potentially if needed. I value privacy and understand that I will be entering your home possibly, so please let me know what I can do to make you comfortable.

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do with the dogs is take them down by Lake Michigan and explore the trail and the nearby parks in Lakeview. I always try to take them somewhere new to keep them engaged. They love the water and people and all the crazy smells! Also love the dog park if they are comfortable with other doggies and love to play outside, soccer is my favorite sport.

I would just like to know about their personality and anything that could help me improve their care. If they don’t get along with other dogs or men or anything like that, please let me know! I do not have a breed preference, but I do love big dogs, and pitties!! If they have a history of PTSD, separation anxiety, or violence, I would like to know, but am not afraid - I appreciate the honesty and know all animals are deserving of proper love and care <3
