Homebody-love long walks + fetch!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Lydia, I am a graduate of UTSA and currently am working from home. I am a HUGE animal fan and grew up with just about every pet you can imagine! My favorite is dogs, they just have so much love and energy to give and I give it right back! I love hiking, exploring and taking long walks and if I can bring a four legged friend with me, all the better! I have been pet sitting/walking for as long as I can remember. I am educated on animal cpr and have close vet friends who nerd out on dog psychology/training with me. I am completely available to you and your four legged family member. I run a very well managed pet sitting service, we will have a sit down on likes/dislikes of your friend, habits and even special areas that may need attention while in my care. If I am so lucky as to have the opportunity to check in/pet sit your four legged family member, I would love to send you updates and pictures of how much fun we are having (I love photographing animals, they are always so candid!)! If we happen to get a little dirty, I promise to bring your pooch back squeaky clean, and would also bathe if asked to add to our time too! I do have a training background so maybe we can teach the pup a new trick for when you get home! I do hope you reach out if you feel I am the right fit for looking after your favorite family member, I would love to answer any questions you may have as well! I also do pet photography, so let me know if you are interested in that, it is so much fun and so rewarding to sent prints to owners!

My dog is my baby and there are very few people I trust to take care of her. When I am not able to, Lydia is #1 on my list of people who I know will treat her just as good as I do (if not better!). My dog loves that she provides endless cuddles, play time, and special treats. In addition, she is an amazing photographer and has captures some really great frame-worthy shots of my pup. She if very timely, responsible, and trustworthy and treats my dog and house as if it was her own. However, there is one downside... I think my dog now likes her better than she likes me!!

Lydia was a great housesitter! She came out ahead of time to meet my dogs and go over any concerns I had and walk through their routine. She sent me photos and updates throughout her stay, and left a very sweet letter detailing the pups activities while I was gone. She cared for my home and my furry family members like they were here own, and my dogs were totally relaxed in her care. I highly recommend!

A typical day

We will go on long walks anywhere accessible! If there is a park near by I would love to explore with my new four legged friend. Like running? Me too! Although I might not be as fast, we will sure enjoy the sights and sounds of the great outdoors! Like any specific games? Me too also! Tell me how to make the time spent with your pup as enjoyable as possible, so that he/she will be jumping for joy at our next visit!
