Pet care experience

Because Your Pet Deserves More Than Just a Sitter

What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal care and attention I give each dog. I don’t just watch pets—I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With 6 years of experience in dog care, I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. I always take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, and quirks so I can give them care that feels like home. Plus, I send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, my goal is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for them. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or any special routines—so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular potty breaks and fresh water. Most importantly, I promise to love and care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if needed, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

Lydia has taken care of my cat before. I am happy with her service or I wouldn't be a repeat customer. 😊

Lydia was absolutely brilliant with Spud, we met her two days before our weekend trip and showed her round the house and Spud of course loved meeting her. She put me at ease while we were away sending updates and photos and leaving the camera on when she was out the house so I could check in on him. Really recommend Lydia as a pet sitter she is so lovely and attentive. Would definitely use her services again

Lydia looked after both of my cats 5 days after their spay surgery and did an amazing job. It started early in the morning and she was happy to help, it gave me the peace of mind I needed and both cats relaxed with her. Lydia was very receptive and followed all of the instructions for their care. I would definitely recommend Lydia to watch over your pets and hope to book again in the future.

Schedule

Pet care fits really well into my schedule because I have plenty of time outside of work to give your pets the attention they need. I finish work at 3:30 p.m. Monday–Thursday and at 2:30 p.m. on Fridays, so I have my afternoons and evenings free for walks, playtime, and check-ins. On Tuesdays, I’m at uni until 2 p.m., and weekends are completely free for me—meaning I can dedicate the entire day to keeping your pets happy, active, and cared for while you’re away.

It’s really helpful to know as much as possible about your pet before we spend time together! This includes their daily routine, energy level, any medical needs, allergies, fears (like loud noises or other dogs), and how they typically behave on walks or around new people and animals. I also like to know what commands they respond to, their favorite toys or treats, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. The more I know, the better I can care for them like you would!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
