Services
Lydia can care for
Availability
I’m currently working a full-time job so weekends and/or when owners are on vacation are my best times, as well as after work if owners are caught up on the job and need assistance with walking or feeding.

Safety, trust & environment
I will happily watch your pets in your own home, even overnight on weekends. I take extra care to provide the best service I possibly can, catering each visit to each owner’s preference. I have experience in medication administration as well as animal handling to create a fear free environment for your pet and keep your mind at ease.
Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or particular behaviors I should be aware of. I have experience with many different types of dogs, from reactive dogs that need muzzles to special needs dogs that need daily medication or physical support. I would like to know ahead of time to fully prepare and discuss what works best for you and your pet to ensure maximum comfort and safety.
A typical day
I love to give dogs time to be a dog. Whether that means going to the dog park and spending time with other dogs or exploring new places such as trails and the beach and just letting them have fun and sniff away! Getting exercise in is always a goal with walks and playing games like fetch, but don’t worry- a good snuggle is always in order!

Pets
Animal lover with vast experience
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from reptiles to large mammals since my childhood. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while on trips or even just out for the day. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have also received some formal education in veterinary care as well as worked multiple jobs as a veterinary assistant.
Cat care experience

Lydia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews

I cannot recommend Lydia enough. She was such a thoughtful caregiver to Butter and so communicative to me all the while. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind. 10/10
I worked with Lydia at NSU in the Vet Tech department. She was very responsible, always on time, loved and cared for every animal like they were her own. No matter the size of the animal or the temperament she always showed them love and treated them with respect.
