Dancing with your dog!
Pet care experience
As a dog lover (don’t even get me started on my rescue mix love, Rue), they matter to me. Making sure that they get enough exercise and have a great day without their owners is important. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs who range in age from one year to ailing dogs. Spending time in the park, walking all through the city and even driving to a national park is always worth it, when you have a fabulous four legged friend with you! I have a very flexible schedule, and additionally teach spinning and Zumba classes. What can I say? I’m an active person (just like a dog :)). Constantly moving is important, and your animal will definitely be walking and dancing around with me!
Reviews
Lily provided excellent in-home, overnight care for our boxer/retriever mix, also named Lily. It became apparent within a day or two of our departure that dog Lily has anxiety issues and began acting out whenever human Lily left the house to teach her occasional fitness class. Even though it was a short span of time (literally 1.5 hours max), dog Lily was struggling with having both her parents gone and then her caretaker gone. To help alleviate the anxiety, human Lily went above and beyond by cancelling her remaining fitness classes in order to spend all her time with dog Lily. We received ample updates and pics and learned that many long walks were made as well as daily trips to the dog park to burn off as much energy as possible (dog Lily is very active and needs lots of engagement). Human Lily was neat and tidy and left our house just as she had found it. I was grateful that human Lily has previous experience with boxers and their needs and behaviors as well as experience with dogs that need a lot of attention/activity. I would recommend human Lily to anyone needing pet care and I would use her again as long as she was willing.
This is the second time I’ve used Lily. She has been great with my 9 month old boxer mix, Daisy. She gave Daisy extra care, communication was daily, so I knew my pet’s experience. I will use her again and highly recommend Lily.
Lily was terrific to work with, from our initial contact via Rover, through my detailed instructions regarding housesitting/catsitting... and during the stay and the wrap-up. My cats are pathologically shy, so she didn't see much of them, but she managed to snap pics when she did and texted those along... making me feel all the much better for having dared to leave them behind on a brief vacation! They continued to eat and do their other business, even though mostly keeping to themselves. House was in great shape upon return. Lily is a sweet, fun, caring, responsible young woman whose services I recommend.
Daisy Mae loved Lily from the moment they met. Lily did a great of watching her while I was out. She clearly puts her all into each walk. I got regular pictures and notice at the start and finish.
