Highlights
Pet care experience
All around animal lover
I’m an ambitious gal who’s looking for make some new furry friends! I absolutely love every animal, and have never lived without a pet in my house (from dogs to a pig living in the house). I have lots of animal care experience and have never met an animal I didn't adore. I currently have 2 rescue dogs and 2 budgies, who I adore with my whole heart, and we’d love to make some new friends! I am dedicated to my full-time job in emergency services, so I will not accept clients on days that I work (I work 12 hour days) but am always open when I'm home! Please reach out for any long-term or multiple day requests as I can accommodate my work schedule to care for more friends! I am excited for this opportunity and can't wait to meet your pet(s)!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lydia was great! She took our siberian husky/malamute for 3 walks while we were in Napanee for a wedding. Sansa seemed pretty happy even though she was cooped up in our hotel suite for ~4 hours. Thank you so much Lydia!!
Lydia took amazing care of my boy! Took him in like he was her own! Definitely will rebook in the future!

Lydia was fantastic with Max! She was attentive to his needs, with some walking, cuddles and playtime. Sure was punctual, responsible and reliable. Max is excited to have her return!
Thank you for letting out my dogs!! It's nice to know everyone was happy when I couldn't be there! ?
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work on a play on schedule of 2 days, 2 nights and 4 days off and can accommodate your needs for certain hours/ days, including weekends and holidays. As I work full time on a rotating schedule, this would be dependent on your animals ability to be alone during the day. *I will not leave your pet alone for extended time - accommodations can be made to return home during my shift to check in*
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I have gone through 2 training courses with my current dogs, so have a great understanding of animal behaviour and needs. My dogs are more than happy, and I’d give the same love to your babies! I’m excellent with understanding non verbal cues, Animal needs and supporting them in general.
Pets
A typical day
I love visiting dog parks (should the dog be good with other animals). Walking through parks and trails , and visiting petsmart sometimes for extra attention and treats! In Napanee area, there are many trails and parks to explore, as well as cuddling up on the patio at home or on the couch on a rainy day! I offer many enrichment activities both inside and outside the home, please ask for more details!
