Lydia house / pet sat for us as we jetted off on our two week holidays. This was the first time we had ever had anyone stay in the house and look after our cats so we were quite apprehensive. But I can say Lydia kept us up to date and everything went smoothly. Will definitely be booking with Lydia again, thank you!

Lydia was absolutely brilliant, she came to look after Milo for our wedding day. She was so communicative, checking in with us leading up to the date. She has a lovely calming energy and nothing was too much to ask - even took Milo out for an hour's walk in the pouring rain so we could all get ready! And sent us updates so we knew he was in good hands. We are so grateful for her part in us having the perfect day. Thank you so much Lydia :) xxx

I work from home 3 days a week and am often around at weekends to look after people’s pets. I can drive so am able to house sit too.

Safety, trust & environment

I can walk on the leash if this is the best option for your dog when with me. I prefer to meet the dog before the arranged date so that we are introduced!

A typical day

I love to throw a ball and use toys with dogs. They will get at least an hour walk and maybe an extra in the evening!

It’s good to know your dogs routine ahead of the job! Play time, their favourite routes with the preferred duration and their feeding times etc.
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.
