Pet care experience

Animal Lover from the Start

I have always had at least one dog in my life and have been taking care of other people's animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with young dogs, elderly dogs, high-energy dogs, and somewhat hostile dogs. I have done live-in pet sitting situations, as well as multiple-times daily visits and boarding. I'm happy to work with dogs with health issues or special diets/needs. I also am happy to help train your dog on your regimen (or equally happy just to spend quality time with your pup). I'm very active and am happy to play with your dog, go for walks/runs, or just chill.

Lydia did a great job with my 2 cats when I had to go out of town on short notice. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos!

Lydia was originally booked to watch and assist with falcon while our family was due to be out of town for a three day weekend. In the week leading up, I had an accident and broke a bone bad enough that required surgery thus meaning I was gonna be home. We kept the reservation with Lydia as it actually ended up helping, even though I was here with getting falcon out and getting his leg stretched twice daily. Lydia was incredibly punctual very communicative and excellent with falcon. She let him out twice a day and fed him twice a day for us for three days. I look forward to working with Rover and Lydia again very soon.

Lydia has been pet sitting for us for nearly a year and she is wonderful, could not recommend her more! She’s great with all our pets who have varying medical needs and even our shy nervous cat loves when she comes by.

Updated April 2026:: I work seasonally as a farmer March-December. So in the summer months I’m available for check ins (approximately) before 8am and after 4pm on days that I work. I also get a daily lunch break 12-1pm, so if you live within 15 minutes of central Stratham, I’m also available for 30 minute afternoon check-ins!! And I’m available weekends. No longer offering overnight stays.

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lydia can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet is aggressive (or has been in the past), or has specific boundaries or behavioral issues I should know about. If I’m walking your dog, it’s good for me to know how your dog is with other dogs and people.
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.
