Pet care experience

Taking care of your furry friends!

I have had animals growing up my entire life. I love helping others with their pets by playing, exercising, and giving company! I had a beautiful yellow lab of my own and have a cute and sassy cat who gives me company day and night. I’m looking forward to helping you take care of your pets!

Lydia was awesome! This was a short notice booking. She was able to meet with us prior and communication was great beforehand and while we were gone. We're looking forward to our next booking.

Lydia is fantastic! She sat for our two large dogs and our house while we were out of town for four days and I couldn’t be happier with the excellent level of care she provided. We came home to a very clean house and very happy pups. Would definitely hire again!

Lydia took great care of my apartment while I was gone- and made sure Willie got plenty of exercise and love! She was great at checking in and communicating, sending lots of pictures, and making me feel comfortable while I was away.

I cannot recommend Lydia enough! She took such great care of our two dogs and cat and also our home!! Our little mini Doxie had some anxiety with Mom and Dad being away and Lydia was so patient and kind! They were best buddies by the time we returned home! It was so nice to be able to relax while away because Lydia did an amazing job keeping us informed on how things were going! We will definitely use her again in the future!

She is the best! Highly recommend. Needed someone to feed and give water to Dorian. He did very well with her! If you need someone to watch your cat or dog she does great! Thank you so much with your help during Christmas!

Schedule

I do have a full time job Monday-Friday, so although I’m not available in the middle of the day, I am an early riser who can help with pets in the morning and love going for walks in the evening so I am available for popping in anytime before 7:30am or after 5:30pm on week days, and completely available most weekends for any time!
