Highlights
Pet care experience
Raised 3 beloved Chow Chows
Taking care of dogs has been a constant of my life, starting from when I was 8 years old. The main dogs of my life have been the 3 Chow Chows I raised from puppies during college, although when they reached full size (50 lbs), I realized it was safer to split their walks with my brother! I've often been the go-to dog whisperer my family and friends rely upon to walk, feed, bathe and board their dogs, and so have experience looking after various kinds, ages and sizes, including a white Maltese (10 pounds) and a Shiba (12 pounds). I have experience with senior dogs who need pacing and resting as well as puppies who love zoomies and investigating every blade of grass.

Ratings and reviews
Short but sweet visit with Lily! Leche loved it, location was perfect, and Lily was super flexible and responsive!
Lily was great to work with and very flexible. Our baby seemed calm and happy when we picked him up. Lily uploaded photos regularly that we could go and check when we were wondering about him and she was always responsive. Thanks for taking care of him!
Maru had a great weekend staying with Lily, I could tell he had so much fun! Lily was very kind and friendly and would definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sitter. Lily was also responsive and uploaded pictures daily. Thank you so much again Lily!
Bernie was very well cared for by Lily. She sent lots of pics of his stay with her. He had some good walks at Sunset Dunes Park. He seemed happy and well cared for. Lily is great- warm, communicative and caring. We will definitely book her again.
So many great pictures! Thanks for taking care of Bentley!
Lily was a thoughtful, flexible, and loving pet sitter. She and her partner took our large pup for daily walks on the beach and even gave him special treats like a stuffed kong. She created an adorable Google photo album that she updated every day so that we knew what our pup was up to. We felt at ease leaving Chewy with Lily!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm currently working from home, so boarding is available full-time! I'm able to do longer walks after 1:30pm M-F + weekends. While I'm working, dogs can stay with me in the house or play/sunbathe in the spacious back yard next to my home office.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a plenty of space dogs can chill in: a spacious backyard my family dogs love to dig in and explore (our plants are kept separately in a greenhouse), a cool entryway and staircase that northern dog breeds love to use for resting and cooling off, a sunny living room with hard flooring and some throw carpets, etc. I've looked after various kinds and sizes dogs in the house, including a Husky, a Shiba inu and a Maltese.
A typical day
We explore beach areas and parks in SF such as the newly opened Sunset Dunes park, Stern Grove, GGP, and can take fields trips to the dog's neighborhood if appropriate.
