Pet care experience

Friend to all fur and scaled babies

*I do NOT have cats. Rover won't let me change that. Anyways, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals throughout my life. I've never lived without at least 3 pets minimum in my home. I've have rodents, reptiles, birds, canines, and felines. My love for animals runs deep. I've fed, washed, and cared for every one. This includes big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs. Short hair, long hair, thick kinky fur. Long haired cats and short haired cats. Snakes and lizards, parakeets, mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, Guinea pigs, ferrets. I've loved every single baby that has crossed my path and would love to love yours too.

Lydia has been great with my mom's dog. She communicates in a timely way with mom and has had so much patience with her little rat terrier who is quite the little diva. I'm so glad we've found Lydia and I truly recommend her.

Lydia is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, healthy, and safe. Her attention to detail and deep care for their well-being are truly remarkable. Lydia not only ensures that each pet’s unique needs are met but also makes them feel genuinely loved and comfortable. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their furry family members!

Lydia has been my go-to pet sitter for the past 3 years. My animals have very specific feeding instructions and a rigid schedule, and Lydia holds herself to just as high a standard as I do when it comes to their care. She is professional (no bringing friends over, no using stuff that isn't hers), dependable, and trustworthy, and loves my pets as her own. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Schedule

I am a full time 100% online college student. I do have a job outside of River, but it also has flexible hours so my schedule is usually very open. I have lots of time for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with a very sweet dog in my home as well as 2 cages of parakeets and 2 tanks with reptiles. I can crate up to a medium sized dog if needed. If it is your home, I will follow any instruction you give me with no issue. If your pet has more needs than others, with your instruction I can accommodate.

Pets

A typical day

I'm very big on excersize for little one, so I will have no issue ensure your pets are tuckered out. Days with me can look like trail walks, trips to the dog park, free training sessions and more!

I don't have a breed preference. I personally have a Boston Terrier and have grown up with everything from Pitbulls, Jack Russel Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Black Lab / Mastif moxes and more. I'm very well versed in different breeds, but I would need better instruction for a senior dog.
