Highlights
Pet care experience
Cats or dogs, I can care for all!
I have taken care of animals (horses, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, alpacas, pigs, etc.) at multiple houses and farms. I was always the one people would turn to when it came to taking care of their household of animals when they were away. I am in the process of becoming a dog trainer as well as groomer! I've had experience with giving animals shots, pills and liquid medication as well as care after surgeries.
Cat care experience
Lydia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home I have a dedicated animal room that has beds, crates, a dog couch, lots of sunlight and a deck for the dogs to hang out on. I also have a pen that I can use if there are dogs or puppies that cannot hold their bladder and have frequent accidents. Blankets and toys galore for the dogs anytime they need them. There is a large yard for the dogs to roam around in or hiking areas for us to walk on. In your home I will make sure to take care of your lovely pet as I would with any of mine! Cuddles and snuggles as well as springs and tug-of-war, whatever activity the animals need to get their energy out as well as keeping them feeling safe and happy. The directions given to me from you will be taken to heart. Feeding, walking and sleeping schedules will be upheld to a T.
Ratings and reviews
Lydia is very professional and so kind to our pet. She goes above and beyond trying to learn and understand your pet needs. She updates frequently and sends the best pics of your fur baby. Highly recommend!
Lydia provided above and beyond care while dropping in on our two kitties during our vacation. My usually shy and skittish cat warmed up to her almost instantly. When my typically social cat decided to play hide and seek, Lydia didn't just move on. She made sure to lure him out, even having me record my voice to help call him, although a good old bowl of food is what finally did the trick lol. To top it off, when our AC went out due to a tripped breaker, she noticed right away and fixed it so our cats wouldn't get overheated!! She is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. Receiving her detailed daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best possible hands. Do not hesitate to book Lydia. I truly can’t say enough good things!

Schedule
Since I am self employed that gives me more open time to play, walk and care for the animals. Currently I own 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with me, I will need a few times a day to let them out a couple times a day.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsLydia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Before taking care of any clients animals, I'd like to know all about the pet. Have they had any training? Prone to running off? Dog/cat aggressive? Shy? Medical conditions? This will give me a clear path of how to approach the pet as well as the triggers that they have. Everyone is safer when we know the do's and don'ts with someone's pet.
