Pet care experience

Thoughtful, prepared, reliable

I grew up on a farm in Appalachia, where I tended to sheep, chickens, rabbits, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors’ cats, dogs, and horses; last summer I travelled throughout Ohio petsitting for various families. I’ve also pet-sat for a handful of alumna from Wellesley College, my alma mater — if you’d like references, I can absolutely provide them!

Lily was so kind and took such good care of Nimbus! She sent super cute photos and he was so spoiled and happy in her care. She was very communicative and responsible. Looking forward to reuniting her and Nimbus in the future!

I want to give a five-star to Lily; it was my first time using a pet sitter. I was a little afraid. My dog was in a good hand. During the two days, Lily was very communicative and responsive. Thank you, Lily, for taking care of my Bambam. I highly recommend Lily and I will use her service in the future.

House Sitting • mrt. 10, 2024

This was our first time hiring a dog sitter. Lily was absolutely amazing. We felt really comfortable with Lily watching Mystic. She was very gentle with our dog. Lily made leaving the house easy. Lily was very communicative and accommodating to our schedule too. We hope to book Lily in the future. We highly recommend!

Lily is one of the most capable, responsible people I have ever met. I have known her for years, and she has taken amazing care of my cats on numerous occasions. She even did me the huge favor once of driving one of my cats three hours from Pittsburgh to Ohio while she meowed the entire time. Over the course of our friendship, I have seen her capably juggle nannying, house sitting, and pet sitting. She has woken up at the crack of dawn to care for a herd of goats, and I know she will put forth the same effort and dedication for any animals she cares for through Rover. She has a knack with all furry friends, and you would be lucky to have a dog walker or pet sitter like Lily!

Lily has consistently been our trusted pet sitter and dog walker. Her reliability and dedication make her our go-to person for taking care of both our dog and cat. Lily not only enjoys her work but also possesses a natural affinity for animals, treating them like cherished friends. We feel fortunate to have her caring for our furry family members.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to be attentive to all my clients’ cats/dogs and carefully read over all feeding + care instructions as soon as I receive them. I’m communicative with my clients, and intentional about ensuring their pets remain happy and healthy. I keep my clients’ home clean and in good order, and I make sure to spend lots of quality time with their pet(s) so he/she/they don’t become lonely! 🐾

A typical day

I love to go on long walks/leashed runs with dogs in NYC, and I’m willing and able to adapt to the needs/abilities of the dog I’m caring for. Of course I’m always ready to give pets/treats if a dog would like either, and I love playing fetch when there’s access to fenced, outdoor area.
