*A NOTE TO ALL OF MY CLIENTS: Please know that I am continuing to observe a high level of awareness regarding the pandemic. I am working creatively with those in need of pet care so that we can all stay as safe as possible. We can discuss how that might best work over the phone.
Thank you all for your understanding and for working so well with me in this regard. Please take good care of yourselves and all of your loved ones! Lily

Hello there! I am a dedicated Animal Carer/Companion/Cat Sitter/Dog Walker/Horse Groom,etc.
Working with animals has always been my joy and I truly care for each and every one with a sense of dedication to their well-being. I am interested in holistic care for both humans and pets!
I have a wealth of experience in dog care and your dog will have access to many great walks in the area, either enjoying a social romp with others or as one-to-one care.I cater for small, intimate groups only - walking in groups of no more than 4 - which means I can really give my love, attention and fuss to each one! Some dogs are better suited to home visits and a garden romp and I make that a fun visit, leaving them as restful and happy as possible. I cannot currently accommodate dog boarding at my home, however, all day care dogs get picked up early and dropped off when you're home. They come out with me on a fun all day long adventure, going on at least 2 great walks and resting in between with drink and food where required. They are dropped off at home at an agreed time. There is a limited availability for this but do please ask!
I am very experienced with cats - having had my own for as long as I can remember (I can 'purr talk'!!)
I have a lot of experience in working with rescue animals, giving them the level of love and care that invariably wins them over and assists them with trusting. I am very good with animals who need that little extra TLC such as those who are nervous, very young or elderly - or just plain quirky! I love to support those animals who find boarding stressful (as I found out with my own boy!!) yet also find it stressful being home alone.
As yard hand/horse groom I can take care of your equine needs - happy to bring in/turn out/ muck out/poo pick/rug up and feed,etc.
I'm quite happy to feed chickens or other small livestock!
I can provide excellent references. I am very respectful of situation and property and am experienced in overseeing things whilst you are away.
I am able to assist in the Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Ditchling, Wivelsfield, Plumpton, Chailey, Haywards Heath and Cuckfield radius.
I always offer an introductory visit free of charge so that you and your loved ones get to know me beforehand. Thereafter, you will have the reassurance of the same person coming in on each visit.
Whatever your unique circumstances, please do contact me.
I look forward to meeting you!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Lily has looked after our animals for many years and is our “go to” trusted sitter. Our bouncy 10 month old labrador has just spent the most enjoyable week with her and her very patient and loving dog Luke. Maggie has had a wonderful time, as evidenced by the beautiful pictures that Lily sent us in her daily updates. Lily takes the anxiety out of going away and we can’t recommend her highly enough!
Lily was amazing! It worked out better for us both to stay at mine. I had regular photos of my boys enjoying themselves.
Lily washed their bedding and bathed them when dirty, muddy walks.
They had play time as well as walks.
My home was spotless when I returned, plants watered. Really looked after my home as much as my dogs!
100% will be using Lily again.
I have had a variety of pet friends all my life! I have been dog walking since childhood, have had my own dog and cat pets and passed a BHS Horsemastership way back in the late 70's! I took care of a neglected ex racing greyhound and successfully rescued and rehomed a very unwell stray cat.
I am very good at working with nervous, young and elderly pets and have been called ' our dog whisperer' by one client!
