“Mateo is absolutely incredible with my cat Max. He is so kind to him and Max has warmed up to him so fast. He takes excellent care of him and Maxie follows him around like they have known each other for years. Mateo is amazing!”

“I was extremely pleased with Natalie's care of my cat, Leeloo. She went to great lengths to send photos of Leeloo who would find the toughest spots to hide in. I appreciate how prompt Natalie was with responding to my request, given that it was fairly last minute and on a holiday weekend. I would definitely recommend Natalie to everyone.”

About: ***Service area update: my service area has been moved. Established/returning clients can still book with me, but new clients will need to be in or near the new service area. This is so that I can ensure my work commute from your home & back is not too long, so that your pet(s) are not home alone for too long. Thank you! Please read my profile details IN FULL before booking for relevant information such as my work schedule. I typically work Monday through Friday from 7am to 3:30pm (minus federal holidays). Sometimes I work brief shifts on weekends, usually once every 3 weeks. Be sure to also read the "information Lillian would like to know about your pet" section in full to understand what types of pets I can or cannot work with. Thank you! **Boarding is currently not offered - I ONLY board cats - I no longer board dogs or any other animals, and any boarding requests for non-felines will be rejected. In-home sitting is available for dogs, cats, and all other species. Thank you for understanding!** Hello! My name is Lillian. I have 7+ years of continuous experience in industries such as ER/ICU veterinary medicine, domestic & exotic animal care, daycare, and boarding. I am also a professional cat & dog groomer. My skills include creating personalized care plans for boarding & in-home pet sitting clients, administering medication, providing grooming options, and so much more than you will find in a traditional boarding setting. I own and exhibit cats in TICA & CFA conformation shows - I own breed, regional, and international winners. I previously exhibited dogs in AKC & UKC. I am an expert in feline husbandry. My personal cats are exceptionally well cared for and provided with the best nutrition, enrichment, and loving interaction that I can offer. You can relax knowing that when your cats are served by me, they will be treated as one of my own and offered all of the same luxuries that my fancy show cats receive. I only board one client/household at a time to ensure that your cats will feel comfortable in my home. My personal cats will never have contact with my boarding clients. I do in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and all other species of pets. My laboratory animal husbandry experience allows me to adapt to uncommon & exotic species. No matter if your pet is furry, feathery, scaly, or slimy, I can assist with their care. Please contact me today in order to reserve your pet's in-home pet sitting, or your cat's boarding space within my home. I am happy to go over the details with you on what amenities your pet will receive, the services that I am able to provide, and how my skills & expertise set me apart from the competition. I am currently working full-time in medical research. I work Monday through Friday from 7a-3:30p. Please feel free to contact me about your availability and the times/dates that you would like. I DO NOT OFFER full-time in-home sitting (where I am in the home with the pet(s) for the entirety of the stay, only leaving for short necessities) as I am working 40 hours per week. FOR IN-HOME SITTING: I will provide all of the care necessary for your pet, as dictated by your requirements (I prefer to have these on paper in writing). Dogs will receive frequent yard time and walks as requested. Cats will have their litter scooped twice per day or as requested by the client. All other species of pet - requirements for care in writing are required. Grooming services can be provided with a fee. I am also able to take care of chores around the home such as ensuring that hired workers have access to the property, taking out garbage/recycling on trash day, caring for plants, etc. Unless otherwise stated, I will be staying in your home overnight so that your pet has someone monitoring them. For my own privacy, I do not do in-home sitting in homes that have video recording devices in bed or bath rooms (unless removed prior to stay). Cameras are fine in common areas.
“Bailee came to let our dog out for a potty break! Bailee came & met our dog ahead of time and had great communication! I will definitely be using Bailee again in the future!”


“We were really happy with Michelle looking after our huskies, Thanos and Kai, while we were out of town for a couple of days. She was reliable, attentive, and caring. Before our trip, she came over to our home to meet us so we could go over all the details, which immediately gave us peace of mind. Because of our busy schedules, our dogs usually only get walked late at night, but she managed to take them out for lovely walks both before and after her work shifts. Getting them outdoors seemed to have kept them happy, exercised, and well-cared for. She made sure they were fed, had fresh, clean water, and stayed in constant communication with us while we were away—complete with adorable photo updates! Thank you so much!”

“Ms. Heather was such a delight! She came through in a crunch time of mine. She’s super sweet and very responsive. She took GREAT care of my fur baby. My little Amirah loves her! She was so supportive and detail oriented when it came to my dog. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future!”

“Late review! Yuriko took care of my baby for 4 days while I was away and did amazing! I am a nervous cat mom and did set a list of things I know my fur baby would need while I was away and she followed them perfectly. Even though Sage isn’t the most social cat she sent me videos when she could and kept me updated. I appreciate her so much and I 100% would hire her again whenever I am away. She is fantastic!!”

“Mikayla took EXCELLENT care of our cat while we were out of town. 100% recommend. We were anxious to leave him, but she sent us multiple photos everyday and gave him lots of love. We will definitely use her in the future.”

“Just wanted to thank you again for watching rocky and tiger. Leaving them can make us nervous so we appreciate your care of them, it made us feel at ease knowing they were happy 🙂”

“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”

“Raven was a wonderful sitter! She arrived on time, communicated well throughout the stays, and took great care of my dog. She also left thorough notes & pictures for me to review while I was gone! Trust her, your animals will be in good hands. I plan to rebook with her for future care!”

“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Kayla was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!”

“Jazmin was incredibly sweet and trustworthy. She was so easy to work with. She has a genuine passion and love of animals which made me feel very safe having her both watching my pets and on my home. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Sama was fantastic at caring for our cat while we were on a trip. In addition to being super reliable with regular caretaking tasks, she was able to make our cat comfortable by adjusting to his needs and behaviors. Our cat is usually wary and slow to adjusting to new people, but during the trip was able to engage in active play and express normal personality traits due to the level of comfort. We recommend Sama!”

“Nupur was very helpful since the first moment I contacted her. She is a very gentle person and took care such in a great manner to Xampu. I received her cards after each visit and also some pics. I really appreciate she discovered by herself that Xampu really like to play with bottle caps and played with him. I definitely would recommend her and book again if I need her help. TYSM”

“Joe has been taking great care of my dog, August. He is very thorough with his visits, leaving my pup happy and well-exercised along with a good note and some pictures so I know my dog is happy! Joe is very reliable, and my dog is noticeably happier after his visits. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rice
I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Juliana for taking care of my fur babies while I was away. I’ve never used Rover before and was extremely nervous about leaving my babies. I met up with Julianna at the last minute and she met my babies. They instantly fell in love with her and I felt at ease. Juliana updated me daily on my boys and how there were doing and was super communicative and treated them Like her own. I would recommend her over and over again. If ever I have to travel, Juliana will be my first option to take care of my fur babies.
Rachel is the best - I messed up the booking dates and she rearranged her schedule to check in on the cats. I know they are in safe hands so I don’t have to worry (even with our complicated medical cat)! She also goes above and beyond to make sure they have some enrichment time.

Sama was an amazing pet sitter for Marie and Winston! She was so attentive, played with them, fed them on time, and did a great job keeping them on their normal routine. What impressed me most was how comfortable my girl kitty became with her. She is usually very shy, but she really opened up to Sama, which says a lot about how gentle and caring she is. I really appreciated having someone I could trust with my babies and felt so reassured knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Sama to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️
