Pet lover who loves a walk!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with pets my whole life, from hamsters to cats, and more recently I grew up with two lovely black labradors - Charley and Flo. Flo is still bouncing around at the age of 12 and does come for a sleepover now and then, but I do miss having dogs around so am keen to share my love for animals with others. Whether its a walk around the block or staying over I would love to help out.

Lydia was really lovely with Freddy. He had a lovely day with Lydia. It was nice to get photos and to be kept updated.

Amazing care as always from Lydia! Was completely at ease staying overnight this time and must have given her plenty of exercise as shes now one tired out pup!

We needed someone to look after our Bonnie last minute for the day and Lydia accepted straight away. Communication was great and so was the pictures I received. Bonnie was so happy when we picked her up and looked like she had a blast! Would definitely use Lydia again!

Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet

If your dog prefers certain things or has any issues near water then that would be good to know! I try to keep my dog on a lead when she's visiting and we used to be near the thames as she loves a swim but isn't very good!

A typical day

I live a stones throw away from lots of grass and also have a garden, when my dogs are visiting, this is where we go and they love it! As well as physical activity, mental stimulation is beneficial, creating puzzles for them to find treats or their dinner.
