Lassie Loves Me! :)

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Lida! I am outgoing and love people as well as their animals. Never having had pets while growing up I volunteered at multiple pet shelters and pet sat dogs for my friends and neighbors. I walked them too, sometimes three at a time. I also walked for a startup called Baroo for a year and worked at a dog daycare, looking after packs of 50+ dogs of all different shapes and sizes. I promise to do my best to make sure that while your dog is in my care they are happy, healthy and very much beloved.

Lida was wonderful. I’d highly recommend her to any cat or dog parents in need of a loving and attentive sitter!

Lida was great, sent me pics and videos of my babies everyday and I came back to two happy animals.

Lida was so great! This was my first time leaving my dog since I got her and Lida really took my anxiety level down so much. She took Tilly on nice long walks even though Tilly can be handful on walks. She would send me picture everyday and Tilly looked so happy. When Lida left after I got back Tilly was actually really sad and confused because she was already missing her new friend. Thank you Lida!

Lida recently did overnight visits for our 3 cats. I left *extensive* instructions as all 3 cats get medication for different things and there are also different additives for each meal. Lida followed all of the directions I left perfectly, was very communicative, and sent lots of pictures. We were also especially relieved to see our shy guy Dylan be so relaxed and affectionate with her. She stayed extra during the day when she was able, introduced our kitties to cat tv, and was respectful of our home, leaving everything neat and tidy. Lida is very professional and trustworthy and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future when needed.

I am available for dog walks, house-sitting and drop-in visits. I do my best to stick to the pet's existing routine, and give them loads of playtime, attention and treats, so they feel as if they are going on a stay-cation.

Information Lida R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, although I LOVE me a good Berner!! Just let me know how often and how much to feed them, whether they are potty trained, and how long to walk them for. It's also helpful to know how they are with people/human contact and how they react to other dogs. Thanks!!

A typical day

I would love to play with the dog catch or frisbee (I bring my own) if they are into it. and socialize it so they don't get lonely. My pricing is negotiable, and my schedule is flexible. I am always available to reach by cell (leave me a message and I will call you back). I am happy to accommodate any special requests or circumstances to the best of my ability. Thank you, and I look forward to your call (or text)!
