HOME F/T! Devoted and Loving Care.

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Lydia. I live here in Victorville, California in a 4 bedroom home with my four beloved furry family members, a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix and another Chihuahua/Scottish Terrier mix and two Pomeranians. I have a doggy door that is open 24/7 so my guests can have access to the backyard any time they want. They have access to all of my house along with my 4 doggies. They are all allowed to be on the furniture, which is leather and has a cover on the sofa. The floors are tile and laminate so if anyone has an accident it is an easy cleanup. The house is basically clean but there is dog hair around, so if yours contributes some it's no problem. I have had dogs and cats most of my life starting when I was a child. From small to medium dogs. I volunteered at the animal shelter in Baldwin Park once a week and once every other week with an organization that takes pictures of dogs and cats to promote their adoption/rescue from the animal shelter through social media. It was very rewarding giving love and attention to scared animals in a shelter environment. I volunteered for 4 years and left when I moved to the High Desert. I also happen to be the go to pet sitter for my friends when they go on vacation or take a few days off. I have kept my daughters 2 dogs for 2+ months when they were discovered as being undisclosed at their rented home. I look forward to having your beloved 4 legged friend as a guest and playmate for my doggies. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. Take a look at my photos to check out my *home and fully fenced-in yard* to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. The price listed is $30 for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing under 15 lb. I hope you'll reach out to me so we can meet soon! Why I love dog sitting Some people may say I am obsessed with four legged companions. My friends rarely see me without a fur baby attached to either my hip or ankle. It is so natural for me to have a fur pal in my lap, giving him endless belly rubs. When you and your fur-kid come over for a pre-visit they will insist on beating me to the door, their tails wagging. They will welcome your fur-kid into their puppy palace with open paws, making him an honorary member of both their loyal doggy pack and our furry family. By the end of the first day of your fur-kid's fun tail-wagging doggy vacation your fur-kid will have learned their secret paw shake as well as which couch cushions are the best for hiding bones under and which are the comfiest for sprawling out for a long afternoon nap. Meet my pets It's a 4 bedroom house that has tile and laminate flooring so in case of an accident it's an easy clean. I have small size doggy door where your dog can have access to the backyard 24/7. About my yard I have a nice yard with a covered patio, perfect for getting some fresh air and soaking up some sunshine. My fur babies would love to have their new furry playmate join them for an afternoon in the sun. I have a small size doggy door so everyone can have access to the backyard 24/7. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given specific instructions. I am not, however, comfortable administering injections.

Our Domino had a fantastic time with Lydia and Co. He got along very nicely with her two dogs and was well cared for. He was even invited into their nightly sleeping arrangement on the cozy bed with Lydia!;)

Lydia is a wonderful person that cares for animals a great deal. I am glad I had a chance to leave my dog with her. I trust her.

Lydia is awesome. She was able to accommodate the drop off and pick up of my fur child around my schedule. She was very flexible and understanding. She kept me informed daily of how he was doing. I would totally book her again to watch my fur child Louie. Thanks so much again.. We will be in contact again soon.

Lydia is great with Abby. She sends me a text message to let me know how Abby is doing. It is nice that she has two dogs that Abby can play with while we are away.

Information Lydia C. would like to know about your pet

I need to know that your fur-pal is dog-friendly, weighs less than 45 pounds, is not aggressive, and is housebroken. I am more than happy to welcome the newest furry member of your family, that sweet puppy of yours, into my home.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will go for long walks around my lovely neighborhood, stretching our legs and enjoying the beautiful day. Gaby and Chloe are looking forward to introducing their new furry playmate to all of our friendly canine neighbors. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your fur-pal will be allowed to sleep wherever he feels most comfortable. He is even more than welcome to try to squeeze between my two sleepy-head chihuahuas in my bed. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home full time, so how does 24/7 sound? During his fun tail-wagging doggy vacation your fur-kid will have my undivided attention, given all of the love and affection he deserves. While you are gone you can rest easy knowing that he is being very well taken care of, his every need met. Need a good belly rubbing? You got it! Have an itch behind your ears? Let me scratch that for you! Want to go for a walk? Let's go!
