My name is Liliana and I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I have a ton of experience and love taking care of kids. I can entertain them as well as care for them but I don’t drive so I won’t be able to take them places but I still do amazing work. I also am CPR certified and am great at administering first aid. As for pets I’ve been professionally pet sitting for a couple years but I’ve had many pets since I was little including dogs, cats, lizards, and chinchillas. I am super excited to help families out but as I am still in school on weekdays I can only babysit starting at 3.

I have watched kids anywhere from 4 months to 15 year olds. I have worked at several summer camps including pedal heads and church camps! I am studying business and minoring in early childhood education. I always put the safety of kids first as that was the way I was taught my whole life and shown. I love dancing and being active and out in nature. I used to be a referee for kids soccer and a couch for 5-7 year olds! I used to teach dance to toddlers as well as directing a play at alki elementary school! I can clean and help out with any basic needs like laundry and meals! I have been a pet sitter, house sitter, and dog walker for over 10 years now. I have grown up with animals including big dogs like my lovely Great Dane and my big 25 pound Maine coon kitty. I am well trained in lease training and handling as well as cat and dog CPR and first aid. I have gone through training at shelters to learn how to administer medicine and shots and provide very experienced care to all sorts of animals including reptiles, birds, chickens, goats and a lot of other furry friends!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.


Dog Walker Interview Questions

Ask the following questions when interviewing dog walker candidates to narrow down your list.

Safety & Emergencies

  • What would you do if my dog gets injured or sick during a walk?
  • How do you handle aggressive dogs or unexpected encounters?
  • Do you carry water, treats, or a first aid kit?
  • What’s your policy if bad weather occurs?

Reliability & Communication

  • What happens if you’re unavailable—do you have a backup plan?
  • How will you access my home securely?
  • Do you provide updates (texts, photos, walk reports)?
