Pet care experience

I've had a lifelong love of animals and have always had pets growing up. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends/neighbors, I have volunteered at local shelters over the years to socialize and walk dogs waiting for their forever homes. Your dog will be cared for like it's my own. I work from home Monday through Friday so your pup will get plenty of attention and affection. I typically do two walks a day, mid-morning and early evening, plus backyard play (and potty breaks) throughout the day. With this flexibility, I can easily accommodate your pup's schedule/needs. On weekends, we typically venture out a bit to the waterfront, dog park, or a nearby hike. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog has a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I have a fully fenced in yard, floor to ceiling windows from which to survey and monitor any passersby, birds, squirrels, etc., and plenty of room to roam inside. I am happy to crate your dog if preferred, otherwise they will have the same unrestricted access as my own dog. I have a medium energy, roughly five year old blue heeler mix to keep your dog company.

Lydia is absolutely amazing. She watched our dogs Harley & Jackson for 10 days. She sent us photos and videos each day. It made us feel like we were there with them. Jasper is such a sweet dog and he became fast friends with Harley & Jackson. I would recommend Lydia to anyone. She is the ideal dog sitter! I’m so thankful to have some I can trust who truly cares about my animals. Thanks so much Lydia!

Lydia is a wonderful pet sitter and Millie likes playing with Jasper. She feels at home there and trots right into the bedroom with her toy when she’s ready for bed. Lydia is always accommodating with any changes I might ask for. She always sends photos which are much appreciated when we’re away.

Information Lydia C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any special needs, quirks, or fears. Additionally if they have any allergies, medical conditions, or require medication.

A typical day

A typical day starts 6:30-7:00am with a cuddle and potty relief in the back yard followed by breakfast. After breakfast, we settle into the living room for morning tea watching the sun come up out the large picture windows. After a few hours of work/snoozing in the office or watching passersby out the living room window, we go for a walk around the park adjacent to my home. Between meetings, we'll play ball in the backyard or a game of tug. Once work is wrapped up, we're out for our second walk (usually a bit longer) through the neighborhood and more play in the backyard if there is excess energy. Dinner happens around 6/6:30 and then we hang out/snuggle in the living room until it's time for bed.
