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.

Information Lydia D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know If your dog or cat has any special needs or enjoys doing anything In particular or anything else you can think off!

A typical day

I like to give dogs lots of pats and affection, lots of belly scratches and I am very tuned into to what sort of attention makes pets feel happy. I enjoy playing games as well with the doggos, and it is not uncommon for me to be seen having fun with a cat laser toy with the many cats I care for :) Snuggling at night, even chatting to them lol! I love to see the happy faces of pets i care for, and I take effort to send pet parents photos they will enjoy, and many have told me they do enjoy them very much:) One client asked me if i was a professional photographer! That made my day.

Pet care experience

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.

Lydia did such a great job taking care of our cat. I could tell from all of the daily photos that my cat was loved and well taken care of.

Lydia did a great job of caring for our baby (cat). She was communicative, sent great updates, and able to take our request at short notice. We appreciate that our baby (cat) was in such good care.

Lydia was absolutely wonderful with my cat! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands while I was away. She sent updates and made sure everything was taken care of, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Lydia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

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.
