LilyPet

Pet Sitter

Lily began her dog walking career in 1998, after leaving her Vet Assistant job at Chicago’s Tree House Animal Foundation. She spent 12 years working in Chicago, specializing in walking dogs with people-/dog-aggressive behavior. Her love for animals and nature drew her to the Pacific Northwest where Lily moved to Portland, OR in 2010 to start anew.

After signing her 1st client in 2011, LilyPet has been growing and keeping Lily busy throughout the week – offering midday walks during the weekdays, with occasional visits during nights and weekends. Lily is also available for dog-sitting – allowing her clients’ dogs to continue enjoying the comforts of home while they’re on vacation. Read more

    Lily is awesome! She is an excellent communicator, has calm energy and is great with our complicated, sometimes difficult dog. She walks him on days I cannot and has stayed with him overnight. She sends photo updates after each walk and throughout the day when we are out of town. For the first time I didn't worry about how he was doing when we were gone! We hope she will stay with him again soon, and are grateful every day she walks him, as he is happier and calmer. ...

    I've known Lily now for several years, and she is wonderful with dogs and cats. You can tell she takes her job seriously and has a lot of experience with animals. She seems to handle the "bad" ones just as easily as the mild mannered pets. She definitely goes above and beyond what is necessary without charging more for it - simply put, she does whats right and whats necessary when the time comes. Very reliable and trustworthy. She has had a key to a couple of my homes and I never had any worry or moments doubt with her. Every neighborhood needs one of her as a permanent fixture. Her prices are great, her abilities are great, her compassion is great. A+

    Lily is great!! I actually notice that my puppy seems happier on days Lily comes vs. when he is at my other place and our neighbor takes him out. I'm going to see if she will come to SE so we can use her over there too.

    Also, I love the fact that I can pay on PayPal in advance with an online calendar and therefore have a record of how many walks credit I have left! Awesomely convenient!! With my other walker I always had to remember to get exact change every week and never remembered how many walks I had paid for. ...
