“Lillian has taken care of our furry baby many times now and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Lillian quickly responds with questions about scheduling, is flexible and punctual, and our pup is always so happy to see her. We highly recommend Lillian!”

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: Ever since I was 10 years old and even younger I have been taking care of animals! From my own , to friends and families as well. Animals aren’t just pets, they are apart of our family! They make life better , I am passionate about making sure they are taken care of and in good hands at all times. I currently have animals of my own, and I take pride into making sure they know they’re loved, fed, and exercised every single day too. I will happily come and let your pets out, stay there and make sure they are fed and watered, let them play for awhile and/or give them a walk to get them out and about. If they would come to my house, I have a fenced part of the yard, 3 other sweet fur babies to help keep your pet company, and land to let them play around safely and get exercise in daily.

About: I am a very reliable, loving and responsible person who you can trust with your four legged family members. Both my dogs are over the rainbow bridge now but we had a long loving journey together. One was a Lab mix and the other was a Husky rhodesian ridgeback mix. I know the importance of mental stimulation, exercise and rewards that all dogs love. I have grown up around a variety of different animals and also like to volunteer with local non-profit animal rescues. I have experience working with dogs who suffer from anxiety, aggression and/or have a lot of energy. My schedule is flexible in both days and time. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and stopping by to view my profile. -Gillian S I have the availability and flexibility to be with your dog as much as needed. I work from home allowing my schedule to be flexible and your dog to be with a human 24/7 if needed. I would typically take my dogs to run errands and pick up and drop off the kids to school. If your dog likes car rides and you are comfortable with that they are welcome to always tag along. If they do not like car rides they can be crated or left out in the home. I always use leashes for walks as we do not have a fenced in yard. I do have crates if your dog needs that for any time away or feeling comfortable (depending on how you work with your dog).
