Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard, and a space for your dog to relax away from my young kids. If your dog wants to be in the thick of it, we would welcome that too. The dog will be fully supervised around the kids, and my kids are great with animals, having grown up on a farm until the end of 2025. The only animals we own these days are chickens in a secure area in our back yard.

Information Lydia B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific requirements - I'm happy to accommodate as much as possible! I've got a safe space for your dog to relax and plenty of stimulation in a busy house to keep your dog entertained. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your 4-legged family NOTE: my kids are 5 years old, 3 years old and a very excitable 1.5 year old - we've made the decision not to accept any pit bull mixes who don't have experience with toddlers, after a close call recently. Thanks for understanding.

A typical day

I go on regular walks with my kids around the neighborhood and neighboring parks, I am also outside constantly in the warmer seasons, getting the odd job done or playing with the kids. Your dog would be welcome to join in as much or as little of our daily life as they'd like

Pet care experience

I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3, I grew up with dogs & cats and have cared for friends animals through the years. I'm reliable, trustworthy, responsible and flexible. I am excited to get my own cats & dogs some day, and in the meantime can't wait to love on yours!

So glad we found Lydia! Freya has had limited exposure to different sitters and was quite anxious when I dropped her off but Lydia and her children put her right at ease. She had a wonderful time, didn't even want to go home! I will definitely use Lydia again!

We had a wonderful experience with Lydia! She and her family took excellent care of our dog while we were away, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and genuine care for our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dogs!

Lydia was awesome. She had a lot going on outside of watching our pup and was still amazing. She gave great updates and pics too.

Lydia is a great dog sitter! She, and her family, are very personable and kind. Throughout our trip, Lydia always kept me updated about our Yorkiepoo, Oreo!
