Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote worker who loves cats & dogs
I have worked as a kennel technician for 3 years. I worked primarily with boarding cats and dogs by walking, taking out, playing, and medicating. I love walking. I am personally an avid walker, minimum daily goal is 10k steps. I would love to take your dog out and about. It is my goal to always exercise safety, so we stay away from other pets. For this reason I have been hired out many times by family, friends, and coworkers to either house-sit, drop-by, or just walk their dogs. In addition, I was once the owner of a corgi dog who lived to be an old man. I am now currently an owner of an elderly cat. She is a senior cat and is currently living with cancer and recently went through surgery. Thus, I am very confident providing oral medications and care for senior pets. I have also worked 5 years as a cleaner out on Isle of Palms, so if you have any light housework or plant care requests, while I'm at the house, please feel free to ask. I will always leave your home tip top so you can always come back to a relaxing space. I truly love being able to help animals have companionship and activity, while owners are out of town. It's so vital to their happiness and care. I always strive to give the owners upmost peace while away from home. Communication is key and I always want you to feel happy with the care your pet receives.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard. I also have no other pets in this house, except for a indoor/outdoor cat, that is quite easy to manage (is happy to be contained or moved). Thus, this usually helps some animals who may not get along with other animals.
Ratings and reviews
This was my 3rd time having Lydia watch my cat, Freddie, and she always takes such good care of him!
Lydia is WONDERFUL!! This is the second time we’ve had her watch our babies and I can’t sing her praises high enough. She sends photos and videos every day and you can tell they are soooo happy with her. She is our go-to sitter forever!
Lydia did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and my home. I came home to a happy, calm doggo and will cared for home. Lydia is also highly communicative and sends lots of photos. Reception was bad on my trip, so it was nice to see a bunch of photos of my happy dog every time I got back to cell reception. Highly recommend Lydia!
Lydia has watched my cat, Freddie, twice now and takes such good care of him while I’m gone!!
Wow wow wow - such incredible care! We have one very codependent pup and another senior dog and they can’t be boarded because they’re too sensitive. Lydia was above and beyond what we could have asked for! She let our codependent baby sleep with her at night, sent so many updates and pictures, and we never once had to worry that they were loved and well taken care of for the full three weeks. She is the BEST.
Lydia is a fabulous sitter. She communicated with us, sent lots of photos of our babies and even brought them a treat! Would highly recommend if you have cats that need to be looked in on.

Schedule
I am currently a 100% remote worker. My schedule can be quite accommodating to animal care (travelling to house to visit animal, food, needing to go out, play time, etc.,) I do go for an evening walk every evening, so this is a convenient time to take dogs out for their daily walk and give them extra companionship.

- I would prefer not to administer anything injectable. But I am able to follow a pill schedule and give that to the animal, such as with pill pockets, toys, or described method.
