“Lydia was amazing. She was very communicative throughout the entire process. She was super flexible and understanding during the booking process, as I went back and forth before deciding on a combination of drop ins and overnights. We came home to a very happy and well cared for kitty. He even sat on her lap (a rarity for him), which I think showed how comfortable he felt. Lydia went above and beyond, and we also came home to a very clean home, and a sweet drawing of Finn. Thank you Lydia! Finn approves!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals with empathy since I was a child. I was always very drawn to animals, and felt a strong connection with them. Whatever you need, I would be thrilled to meet, and care for your fur babies. I do have a full time job but I've just been off with an injury so im home all day and I have lots of free time to take care of your fur babies. Walks, visits, house drop ins, doggie day care. I would be honored to look after your animals. I have a very large fenced yard, and 2 friendly young dogs for your pup to play with. They are never outside without me monitoring them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Owen Sound
First time leaving our kitties for a couple of days in our new home in a new city. We needed someone quickly to depend on to pop in and check up on them. Kayla came to our rescue on short notice. She is a caring and reliable sitter. Will definitely use her service again! Thank you Kayla!
Lydia is exactly who we needed. She looked after our cat, Milo, for 5 days and we returned to find him contented. We received daily updates and photos which were reassuring as it was the first time we had left him in the care of someone other than family. We will rebook Lydia for sure.
Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!
