Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible pet lover!
Hi! I’m Lily — a Physician Assistant student at Ithaca College and an animal lover through and through. While I’m in grad school, I’d love to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals! I have extensive experience dog sitting and have also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked hands-on with both dogs and cats — walking pups, cleaning enclosures, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! 🐶🐱
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment in the Ithaca Commons. The area is perfect for walks, and my home is spacious, clean, and cozy — with plenty of room for cuddles (yes, pets are welcome on the couch!). I live close by a park and love going on walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! Whether I’m taking your pet for a walk or hosting them in my home, I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Lily was flexible and responsive. We will definitely use her again. Thanks for taking such good care of Monito!
Did a great job with our dog! Sent us update pics on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again when the time comes!
We so appreciate Lily taking care of our pup! She kept updated on how our dog was doing, kept her well exercised (essential for our dog), and went out of the way to take the best care of her.
Lily was super sweet and accommodating for Biscuit! Will be booking again.
Lily helped me immensly when the heat unexpectedly went out of my house before I was going out of town. She was able to book me very last minute (luckily she was free) and Jasmine seemed to have a good time with her over the weekend. Communicated with me daily while I was gone and made me feel at ease while out of town.
Lily was great! She was so easy to contact and flexible about scheduling. She sent me photos and updates about how my pup was settling in and what they were doing together. I know that Mable got loving attention and Lily truly enjoyed hanging out with her. I will be rebooking with Lily again!

Schedule
As a PA student, my schedule allows me to be home often to study, and my apartment is just a quick two-minute walk from campus — so I can easily check in on pets throughout the day. I’m an early riser and a night owl, which means I’m flexible and available when your pet needs care most.

- I would like to know if the dog is potty trained and if they are afraid of car rides/ are an anxious dog. No breed preferences!
