Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to all the pets that I care for. While I am not available to watch pets in my own home (it is a rental), I am very clean and respectful of other peoples homes. When I am pet sitting, the animals are my top priority. My pet care reflects this priority in every way. I am happy to meet the specific needs of you and your pet!

Information Lydia C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any and every special behavior or need your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and content as possible, and when their owners leave for a while, they can sometimes become stressed. If you have suggestions or tips to make this process as smooth as possible, I would be the most gracious!

A typical day

I love to take them outside and to dog parks (if applicable). I also spend a lot of time playing with them using toys. Giving cuddles and petting is always my top priority though. One thing I have always done with my pets is talk to them as if they are real people. They are friends, not just pets!!

Pet care experience

I have grown up in a household full of all kinds of pets. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, and every rodent under the sun! I have also been pet sitting dogs and cats (of all varieties) for 7 years now. I love and care for animals more than anything, and I would do anything to make sure your pat is happy, healthy, and safe! I am also extremely reliable and communicative. Want a photo of your pet while you’re away? I already sent one 10 minutes ago :)

Lydia took such great care of our dogs and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative and clearly loves what she does. It was so nice knowing our pups were in such good hands. We would definitely book with Lydia again!

Lydia was great while we were away! She took great care of our boy and sent a couple pictures/videos of him! Our house was also just as we left it. We couldn’t recommend Lydia enough!

Lydia was amazing with our Bluebelle! As everyone knows, blue heelers can be quite difficult at times. Lydia has much experience with all kinds of dogs, and took care of Blue and our house while we were away wholeheartedly. I highly recommend her to sit your fur babies!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
