Highlights
Pet care experience
Joyful lover of pets & plants
I love four legged (or less) family members and pets. I currently have two pets of my own - a chill 6 year old Australian & Shephard mix, and a fierce independent 8 year old cat. I provide two walks daily for boarders, day care and housesitting, reoccurring walks and drops in for cats and dogs. I am conveniently located 12 min drive from BWI, 14 drive from the Baltimore Greyhound station and less than 5 minutes away from two pet hospitals. What will your fur baby need for their stay? Their food and treats, and we got the rest. Beds, toys, bowls, & Easy Walks and Leash will be used. Dogs must wear a collar and/or be microchipped. If no collar is worn, one will be provided. Cats will be able to stretch their legs freely, enjoy tall cat trees, beds and windowsill perches. Litter/litter box will be provided. What to Know Before Booking: • Meet-and-Greet before their stay, drop-in, day care or housesitting. A 15-20 minute to discuss pet needs will be conducted in the backyard or at your home (drop in, walking or housesitting). • Daily Communication: 1-2 updates a day with photos. Detailed rover cards for walks and drops ins. You will find me to be flexible, reliable and a great pet photographer! • Free-roaming vs. Crates: Dogs will free roam during the day while at home, unless they would benefit from being crated/ require a space to feel safe. At night dogs will either free roam or sleep in crate. •Ensure Safety and Cleanliness: Pet items are routinely washed, including your own. All humans will hand off pets and items outside. Keeps the house clean and Saint/ Amada (dog and cat) and other humans who live here happier. •Hygiene: Just as humans get dolled up for travel. Please de-shed, groom and or bathe, trim toenails and use flea/tick prevention as applicable for guests. Terms of Service beyond Rover's: Furry guests must be friendly, non-aggressive, get along with cats and can be left alone (constant care (less than four hours) will be the standard rate x 2.5% excluding holiday rates). Luxury Pet Stay: Humans and/or dogs who require to be the only guest will have different pricing $105/ night excluding holiday rates or $50/ day care. What to Expect During Drop off and Pick-Up All pickups and drop-offs are conducted outdoors. We are a no-outdoor shoes household. Please text when you arrive; I will bring your pet and belongings outside. Flexible Pickup and Drop Off Between 9am -9pm. After Hours Pickup and Drop will incur an additional $20 per pickup/drop off or an additional night at standard rate.

Ratings and reviews
Lidia was very friendly and communicated well! I know my dog was comfortable and happy with her!
Lidia has taken care of our dog Ahsoka a few times now, and has been great! We’ve had her come to our house for walks and check-ins if we’re at work or traveling, and Lidia sends great little reports with photos to show how our dog was doing.
Lidia made our little monster dog feel safe. She did a fantastic job. We were gone for 10 days and Lidia survived. I would recommend her to everyone.
Lidia sent pictures and updates every visit. My cat seamed to instantly like her and enjoyed her many pets and cuddles
Lidia to great care of our fur baby! We appreciate her professionalism. Our dog was relaxed and stress free. You can tell she enjoyed her time there. Lidia sent pictures of our dog enjoying herself. I will definitely use her again and also refer to anyone that needs a dog sitter. Thanks so much!
Lydia is awesome and she’s very patient which is wonderful for my hyper pit bull puppy

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home there is a sizable fenced back yard (6 feet privacy fence) with a Australian/ German shepherd mix who is super friendly, & a cat who sticks to the window. We have plenty of dog toys, treats ( I won't tell the vet), sizeable beds, food bowls and cuddles.

A typical day
I start the day off walking to our neighborhood park with my dog Saint then breakfast for him, my cat Amada and me. Depending on weather we go out into the backyard and play around midday. We take a walk around the neighborhood in the evening. Finishing off our night cooking ( Saint and Amada) love to watch followed by eating. Your K-9 fur baby will be included in our twice a day walks and playtime.
