Highlights
Pet care experience
Huge fenced yard in North Valley!
Hey, pup-parents! I’m a Helena native with a serious passion for all things DOG! Training, behavior, nutrition, you name it. I have offered my space on Rover as a cozy retreat and a home-away-from-home for over five years. Whether you are enjoying an extended vacation, need a break for a night out, or are stuck in a meeting when your fluffy babe needs a potty break, you can be sure we are having a lot of fun!

Ratings and reviews
Lily is wonderful! Our dogs loved her from our first meet and greet- very unusual for them. We so enjoyed the photos and updates of their happy faces, and knowing they were in Lily’s kind hands was wonderful! We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our son’s wedding without worrying about our fur babies.
Lily took great care of our dog Kenai! She kept us updated with pictures and referred to our document about him to provide the best care to our little guy. She’s great, 1000/10 recommend!
Lily was amazing. From the initial inquiry, she was extremely responsive to every message and answered all my questions. She greeted us when we arrived at her home and generously showed us her amazing fenced in yard that was well shaded. She sent pictures while watching our two dogs and updates. Could not recommend her more! We will absolutely use Lily next time we come back to Helena.
My dog always loves going to Lily’s house! She is a fantastic sitter and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Excellent care giver for both my dogs. I highly recommend.
Lily was great! Lots of great communication and photos. I felt like Moose was in great hands!

Schedule
I work full time, but I work from home regularly and I have a flexible schedule for drop off, pick up, and mid-day potty breaks/zoomies. For drop-ins: I work near most locations in Helena and can make afternoon visits, so your pup will never have to "hold it!" while you are stuck in a meeting and can't make it home at lunch. My husband and I are total homebodies, rarely vacation, and are in town for almost all holidays.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priority, so we stick to a strict safety protocol when your pup stays with me. If your pup can be iffy with other dogs, has health or behavioral issues, *please tell me*. No judgement or criticism here - it is incredibly important that I know for the safety and comfort of your dog(s) and mine. I'd even be happy to help you work on training! If your pup is happiest flying solo, I am always happy to accommodate – we have plenty of space and love to give! Some important notes: ♡ I require your pup to be up to date on all vaccinations (I ask that you provide these documents) ♡ All areas of my home are sanitized between guests. ♡ All dogs are separated when unsupervised - indoor and outdoor. ♡ All new guests are on-leash during hikes, until I can guarantee their recall and general obedience are bomb-proof.
Pets
A typical day
I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience with high drive dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I love to watch all that drive and energy go into something productive! Please let me know anything you're working on with your pups - going out of town doesn't mean your training needs to be put on hold! Your dog(s) will enjoy daily walks, hikes, obedience work, tug & fetch, and more! If your pup is a couch potato, a senior, or has special needs, we will enjoy age/weight appropriate exercise, brain games, and/or a movie and snuggles on the couch!
