Pet care experience
I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-KA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I've walked, trained, and cared for dogs for more than 15 years. I've worked with dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience walking and caring for dogs who are sensitive and/or reactive, as well as those with special medical needs. I use only positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in all aspects of petcare. My clients have trusted me to walk and train a range of dogs, from 5-pound Chihuahuas to 130-pound Rottwielers. My most important pet-care experience was the 14.5 years that I had the privilege to be the human companion to my beloved, dearly departed, and very-much missed Basenji-Pharoah Mix, Bella.
Reviews
Lily is the very thorough and takes every precaution needed to keep the animals happy and safe! Lily is one of my pup Asters' favorite people lol. As soon as he hears Lily's voice he starts barking or looking for her, but wiggling and tail wagging ! I trust Lily with my pup and anytime I leave him with her he's always happy and she spoils him with treats!!! (With my approval of course )

Safety, trust & environment
I only use positive-reinforcement methods and I follow all of the instructions my clients give me in terms of their petcare needs and goals. In additon to showing their pets compassion and respect throughout our time together, I also show my client's homes and posessions with respect. That is why I only go into the parts of their homes designated by my clients.
Information Lily E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog need any special considerations, such as sensitivity or reactivity. Also please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requires any sort of medical considerations.
A typical day
With my client's consent, I like to play fun dog-walking games like the fast-slow walk. Depending on the cues a dog may know, I also like to play games like "puppy pushups" and "puppy in the middle." When dog-walking in the city, I like to choose streets that are as quiet as possible to minimize possible distractions and commotion that might upset a pup.
