Pet care experience

WFH Pet Lover!

I’ve been taking on pet sitting gigs for over 6 years! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, and cats of all ages! I grew up with a very high-energy Labrador and feisty barn-cat-turned-house-cat. I now just live with a Snowshoe kitty named Pepper. I will care for your pets with utmost respect and tailor to their needs. And yes, I will take LOTS of pictures of your pets, and maybe even a full photoshoot😉 I am 23 years old, a recent Mizzou graduate, and a full-time remote worker.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am a good fit for trained animals with no major medical or behavioral concerns. While I work, I can often stay with the pet(s) during the day to take them out, keep them company, and tailor to their specific needs. I also strive to keep the residence tidy or similar to how the owners left it.

Lydia was great with our two cats! She kept to their schedules perfectly, sent updates, spent extra time with them, and they loved her immediately! Definitely will be booking again!

She took great care around two doggies! Took them for walks every day and kept an eye on the house, too. We'll book with Lydia again.

Lydia took the absolute best care of our dog Fynn while we were on vacation for the week. She was extremely responsive and diligent with our dog and with me. We got pictures of him and her playing every day. She was very respectful with our home. She even took in our mail :). She is very good with dogs and anyone who has her as their Rover is a very lucky person! We will absolutely be booking her in the future for our next vacation!! 100 out of 10: would recommend Lydia!!!

Please let me know if your pets have any serious medical or behavioral needs, as I am not a good fit for high-risk or reactive animals. I am best for pets who need company, meals, and playtime while the owners are away!
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.
