Pet care experience

Lifelong Pet Whisperer

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 :)

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!

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!

Lydia is the rare person who loves other people’s pets just as much as hers. Getting photos of our chihuahua having the time of her life with Lydia makes it so much easier to be away. Also, our little doggy is a senior with a few medications and health issues, and Lydia is so gentle and patient with her. We can find all the proof we need of her excellent care in our dog’s genuine excitement when Lydia walks through the door.

The most important thing to know about Lydia is SHE LOVES DOGS!!!!! I am always nervous leaving our pups and then we found Lydia! She stays overnight for extended stays and always checks in with fun pictures. We know how special she cares for them because our pups are ALWAYS excited to see her!!!!! You have found Lydia - you will be happy - and your pups will thank you!!!

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!
