Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was very young. Having grown up on a farm, I have taken care of livestock, dogs, cats, snakes, birds and gerbils! Friends and family have trusted me to look after and care for their pets, as they go on vacations. I have walked fed and bathed their pets and I have experience giving medication’s to animals. I am also a foster parent with Cats Cradle in HBurg.
Reviews
Lydia was very attentive and took amazing care of our two pups and our home. She’s very easy to communicate with and we can definitely tell our dogs were well loved while we were gone.
Lydia made our vacation worry-free by sending pictures of our pup throughout her stay. Charlie was happy and well cared for when he returned :)
Loved having Lydia check in on my pup! She was communicative, sent me photos, and wore him out so he’d sleep well!💛
Lydia took great care of our two dogs and our house, we will definitely be working with her again!

Safety, trust & environment
In my house, I have two cats who are very friendly with people and other animals. As I’m sure you can imagine, having two cats can create quite a bit of mess. I clean my cats' litter boxes twice a day and make sure to top off their water fountain. They have a gravity feeder, so I don’t have to worry about feeding them until it’s required. I’ve trained my one cat, Pepper, to do tricks, and he is also leash-trained.
Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any behaviors or health issues I should know about beforehand. While I absolutely love working with all dog breeds (yes, the pitbull and American Akita included!), I would like to be warned if they have any behavioral issues. I’m willing to work with any animal.
A typical day
I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. My personal preference is taking dogs on hikes or through local parks as it gives them an opportunity to smell new smells, explore the local area, and meet new people.

Availability
I work in the office Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm. Once arriving at your home, I like to follow the schedule outlined, but if none is provided, I prefer to let the dogs out for a bathroom break and then feed them. After 30 minutes I take them on a long walk and will even go hiking with them if the client is comfortable with such activity.
