Pet Care Pro Seeking New Friends!
Pet care experience
Note: Please read my entire profile before reaching out! I'm a long time dog-haver who wants to be your dog's newest friend! My favorite things are being outside, going on long walks, and eating, so you can see why dogs and I tend to get along. I myself have a lab mix, a pittie mix, and a torbie cat, all of whom are VERY active! I also grew up with a 120-lb airedale/wolfhound mix who developed Cushing's disease at age 12 so I'm with familiar caring for dogs with special health needs, elderly dogs, and very large dogs. For the last year of his life, he couldn't walk, so I used to pull him around the neighborhood in a wagon--there's a picture in my gallery. Consider that an example of how dedicated I am! I can't wait to show you that dedication in person. SERVICE DETAILS: Walks and Drop-Ins--I stop by to take care of your pets! Walks are 30 minutes and include a refill on water dishes. I can also do a feeding at no extra charge. Drop-ins are a 30 minute visit that can include whatever your animal needs--playtime, cuddles on the couch, bathroom breaks, meals, litter box changes, or even a quick walk. Housesitting--I stay overnight in your home to take care of your animals. All care, including meals, walks, and playtime, is included in the price of the stay. Please note that I do not board dogs--all care is in your home. PLEASE NOTE: For safety reasons, I do not do dog park trips.
Reviews
Lily is the best!!
Lily is excellent to work with and took amazing care of our dog! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Lily is fabulous…. The type of person you can rely on 100%. I never go away because I have a little diva pandemic cat who has separation anxiety. But I needed a break away. Lily put my mind at ease immediately. She has those positive vibes that let you know your pet is in good hands. I will absolutely hire Kily again!
Lily took great care of our pup Maverick. She is very thorough and communicates very well! She is very accommodating to our schedule and is wonderful to work with! Totally recommend Lily for your pups needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to be in the same room as the pets at all time (as long as they’re okay with that—I know some like their alone time!). I want to make sure they feel just as loved as they do when you’re home!
Information Lily F. would like to know about your pet
Of course I'd like to know what your dog's favorite toys are and their favorite walk spots. I'd also like to know how they behave around other dogs and people. And what motivates them? Food? Toys? I'm a believer in positivity-only training, so I'll only use rewards and praise around your dog. Lastly, does your dog have anything that might trigger discomfort? I want to make sure that our time is all about fun!
A typical day
It makes me sad to think of dogs sitting at home all day while their humans are at work! So I want to make the most of our time together. We'll have a nice long walk or play session, ideally with multiple toys--got to make sure we get in some fetch, tug of war, AND keep-away! Once we're done, we'll cool down with a belly rub and something delicious. On a hot day, my dog Ruthie loves a Kong filled with frozen pumpkin.

Availability
I’m lucky enough to work remotely three days per week, giving me lots of quality time to hang out with my new animal friends! On the days I do have to go into the office, I make sure the pets in my care are taken care of immediately before I leave and as soon as I come back from work.
