Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets for a majority of my life. My friends and extended family rely on me when they go out of town. My family and I will always pick up (and house) any stray/lost dogs we see so I have experience with all types of dogs and breeds.

Lydia is the best!! She took such good care of my cat. She sent lots of pictures and was able to get back to me quickly. Thank you Lydia!!

Lydia is extremely loving and kind to my pets and gives them plenty of attention. I have two dogs (Zeus & Dina), one being a bit more attention seeking (Zeus) while the other is a bit more timid (Dina) yet she still takes the time to give them them equal amounts attention which I really appreciate since Dina usually gets ignored when I have guests over haha. I also have 5 cats and sometimes they can be a bit shy but Lydia is very respectful of their space and allows them to come towards her first rather than intruding in on their space which can be stressful. I would 100% recommend Lydia as your sitter (coming from a fellow sitter myself)
