Pet care experience

Caring dog and cat lady!

Hi everyone! I am in the 85020 area. I travel within a ten mile radius of my central location, that is my boundary. I have been living in Phoenix for nearly 5 years and this is now my home. I have been on Rover nearly 3 years and I am very pleased to be here. I have done hundreds of bookings (dog sitting and drop ins) Please check out my hundreds of reviews! I am a Star Sitter on Rover which means we are the guys who go the extra mile for our clients and of course furry friends :) Before I moved to Phoenix, I was a dog walker and dog sitter in Manhattan NYC. It was a great experience, but I am now happy to be working in Phoenix. I enjoy working with animals and animal welfare is a priority of mine. I have met so many great people and pets and I am very pleased my clients find peace of mind with my services.

Safety, trust & environment

My specialty is drop ins which basically means I will come to your house or apartment and check on your pets, whether that is a dog, dogs, cat or cats. I will then go ahead with feeding, giving medication, providing fresh water and whatever requests the pet parent asks me to carry out during the drop in which usually lasts a half hour but at times clients book an hour long drop in. I will give lots of attention to whichever pet or pets I am caring for and i will also take photos for the client to see their beloved pet or pets are safe, happy and comfortable. I have also had a lot of experience with dog and cat sittings which you will see from my reviews:) In the case of overnight sittings, i will carry out the instructed tasks provided by the pet parent or parents and then spend the night at the pet parents house or apartment as part of the sitting package, usually snuggling with the pet or pets at sleeptime :). I have had a full background check, and I have never had a criminal record.

Lydia is just the best! Always reliable, and she spends time with my dogs which I know they love. Having her watch them gives me great peace of mind. Thanks Lydia!

Lydia did such a great job watching Mabel and sent the cutest photos! It's clear Mabel loved her, and they had the best time!

I am available to care for your pet or pets, my schedule is flexible, and I would be very happy to fit your pet care needs into my schedule! I am available any day of the week If I am not already booked at that time. For drop ins I do them between 5 am and 5pm, for sittings I am there overnight and will drop in during the day leaving your pets alone no more than 4 to 5 hours but generally depending on my schedule it is less than that.
