Safety, trust & environment

I love all animals! When I take care of other people's pets, I try to connect with them and establish some kind of trust. I also try to play with the animals as much as possible to get all of their energy out. I love cuddling and loving on animals as long as they feel the same way! I also love to take pictures of animals (cute or funny) and would be happy to send you the most adorable pictures to make it through your time without them!!

Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet

I know your pets are very important to you and I want to take care of them the best I can. If there’s anything your pet requires, I can always accommodate. Every pet is different so I would love to learn how they are used to being cared for.

A typical day

With a high energy dog I love to play fetch, go to the dog park, walk a greenway, or just run around with them. For older or low energy dogs, I let them set the pace. I can take them on walks, give them a good brush, and of course cuddle with them if they want to!

Pet care experience

I've always had animals in the house ever since I can remember. With my dogs, I love to give them a happy life by playing and cuddling with them. I love dogs and feel grateful to be a part of their life even if for a short time.

Lydia was great with our pups and we won't hesitate to use her services again. She sent daily pictures of our babies and I could tell they were content and happy. She even took one of our pups with her on a car ride to pick up food (he loves car rides and she did have our permission). She sent pics of him and I could tell he was loving it! Lydia was very quick to answer texts and she was easy to communicate with. She left the house in great condition and we already have her booked for May. I highly recommend Lydia and I don't think anyone that hires her will be disappointed with her services.
