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.

Loved having Lydia check in on my pup! She was communicative, sent me photos, and wore him out so he’d sleep well!💛

Lydia is excellent at keeping me up to date when I am out of town. She is also very conscientious about making sure my flights are on time and I am going to make it home before she leaves.

Safety, trust & environment

In my house I have two cats who are very friendly with people and other animals. And 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 refill. I’ve trained my one cat pepper to do tricks and if he’s also leashed trained.

Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is any behaviors or health issues I should know about before hand. While I absolutely love working with dogs, have all kinds, 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 as it gives them an opportunity to smell new smells, explore the local area, and just run around.

I currently work remotely full-time so I have the ability to give your pet the love and attention it deserves. But working remotely I can watch your pet in your home or mine and provide the care they need. I frequently take dogs on walks, and even will go hiking with them if the client is comfortable with such activity.
