Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH dog sitter, walks & cuddles
I've been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a range of breeds, sizes and personalities. Growing up, my family had a Belgian Shepherd, and later a Labradoodle (Bobbie), both of which I helped care for daily. I also lived with a Miniature Dachshund, giving me experience with smaller breeds and their different personalities and needs. I recently bought my first home in Hove, where I have a secure garden and plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed. I also have a friendly six-month-old kitten who is used to being around Bobbie! As I work from home full-time, I'm around throughout the day to provide company, walks, playtime and plenty of attention. I'm reliable, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lydia did a great job looking after Flash. She communicated well and sent regular photos during the day. I felt confident leaving Flash with her. I wouldn't hesitate using her again.
Lydia is an amazing dog sitter! She’s looked after my sausage dog Lyla plenty of times and she always has the best time! She sends lots of pictures and updates and I can tell my pup has the best time with her. Lydia is very caring and attentive, I highly recommend!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether your dog needs walks, company, toilet breaks, feeding or just some extra attention, I'll be around to make sure they're happy and well looked after. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare and house sitting.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving and secure environment where pets can feel at home. I have a fully enclosed garden for supervised outdoor time, play and fresh air. I also have a six-month-old kitten who is friendly and used to being around my parents' dog, so I understand the importance of helping pets feel comfortable around one another. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality and needs, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while they're in my care.
A typical day
Your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime and affection throughout the day. I enjoy long walks, exploring local parks, the beach and providing mental stimulation through games and enrichment activities. At home, your pet will have access to a secure garden for supervised play and relaxation. Whether they love being active or prefer a cosy nap and cuddles, I'll tailor the day to suit their personality.
