Pet care experience
I just relocated back to the Seattle are (Mercer Island specifically) from New York City! I was a dog walker there for 4 years when I wasn't acting, so my experience with dogs and cats spans multiple breeds and personalities. Most recently, I've pet and house sat for a dozen different families in the Seattle area in the past 5 months that I've been back, and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had! I usually watch 2-3 pets at one time, and I'm open to more. You can be assured that your dog will get a great deal of exercise when I'm caring for them. One of my favorite things in life is to walk in nature for extended periods of time, so if I can have a sweet puppy join me, I love nothing more. I like to go 2-4 miles a day. A few breeds I've worked with: -German Short Hair -Basenji -Labradoodle -Labrador -Chihuahua Mix -Beagle -Border Collie -Corgi -Australian Cattle Dog ...among many others!
Reviews
This was our second time having Lily take care of our animals (2 cats and 1 dog) in our home while we were out of town. The animals were very happy and the house was exactly as we left it. Can’t ask for more than that!
Lily was accommodating, shared plenty of photos, and left our house in better shape than we left it. Thanks for everything!
Lily is an absolute delight. She took great care of our beloved dog Chef, and our home while we were away. She was communicative, proactive, sweet, and professional. We look forward to working with her again and recommend her highly!
Lily is a delight! She’s wonderful with our dog, communicative, and professional. The only reason we wouldn’t recommend her is because we wouldn’t want her to be booked when we need her!
About Lily D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always like to set up a meet and greet before a booking, so that I can get to know the space, and your pet/pets in their own space. I like to always feed them when they are used to being fed, learn when and where they usually sleep, and play where and how they normally do. I want to make them feel as comfortable with me as possible. I'm a big cuddler, so if your dog is allowed on furniture, you can be assured there will be lots of pets and cuddling!
Information Lily D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your pets need any medication--I have a lot of experience administering meds to many different pets. Would also love to know what they're sleeping pattern is, and where they like to sleep. I'm comfortable having pets on the same bed with me, or if they want to be in their own bed as well. Also, is there an invisible fence? Do they eat at specific times every day? What kind of fun and quirky personality traits do your pets have? Let me know please! :)
A typical day
Breakfast first, of course, with a nice bowl of fresh water in the morning. Then let's get outside and get that body moving! We can play fetch with a Chuck-It, or go for a quick little jaunt. Then, after lunchtime, we'll go walking on a fun trail. I love anything immersed in nature, so if there is a forest trail nearby, let's go! We can then come home, your pet can nap while I work, then dinnertime, more fetch, cuddles, and bedtime!

Availability
My work is part time right now, so I have a lot of time that I can devote to your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and I genuinely want to spend as much time with your pets as possible.
