17 years of animal care experience

Pet care experience

I've grown up around animals since I was 5. I've taken good care of dogs and cats alike. One of my favorite pastimes growing up was volunteering at my local animal shelter and walking the dogs.

Lydia was extremely thoughtful and made sure to keep us up to date with pictures. We had her for a one hour visit and she walked our dog, played with him, and helped him have a great time as a break from the crate while we were gonna a few hours. We will definitely turn to her first for future bookings.

Lydia was a great help to my cat, as I had an emergency and needed to go out of town. Ollie came out to see her and he looks relaxed around her. Thank you Lydia!!

Lydia came to care for my dog two to three times daily for about a month. My dog was recovering from some injuries to her rear legs. Lydia was very caring and helpful to my dog. She gave her plenty of attention. She quickly learned to apply her leg braces and her harness. I would recommend Lydia for pet care. I would not hesitate using her again if the need arises. She was generally prompt and was willing to adjust times of service when necessary. My twelve year old dog seemed to look forward to Lydia coming to care for her.

I don’t know anyone who loves animals more than Lydia. She could spend all day just being around pets, and she takes amazing care of her pets at home.

I have two cats in my home name Cato and Trina. I recently adopted Trina and have been watching her food consumption and health very carefully.

Information Lydia C. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if you as the owner have any specified concerns or instructions on any encounters with your pets. I also like to know if I can give your pet treats during the service. It's a great way to build a trusting bond between myself and your animal!

A typical day

I love to get to know the pets I watch. With dogs, I watch for their favorite places and toys inside and outside the house. I love getting an energetic dog to be tired my the end of our walk. With cats I take a more cautious approach, looking for signs of distress or approval.
