Availability

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.

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.

Information Lily R. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I typically start the day off with a dog by feeding and going for a long morning walk to wake up and blow off some energy. I enjoy walking, hiking and running and don’t mind getting a little dirt on my hands if we decide to play fetch!

Responsible pet lover!

Pet care experience

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! 🐶🐱

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.
