Pet care experience

PreVet Grad with a Passion for Pets

Hi, I’m Lydia! I just earned my bachelor’s degree in pre-veterinary biology and have been caring for pets since I was 16. I have a ton of experience dog- and cat-sitting for friends and family, and I currently work at an animal shelter where I administer medications and help train case-hold dogs with behavioral challenges. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve developed a pretty strong skillset for dog training and would be happy to help your pup learn a few new tricks! I truly love dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I can’t wait to meet yours!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I do have a cat, but he’s extremely friendly and loves dogs, he honestly acts more like a dog himself! I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. While I don’t have a backyard, I live just two minutes from a beautiful park, and I’m more than happy to spend plenty of time there for walks, playtime, or just for some fresh air.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2025

My wife and I cannot say enough great things about Lydia. She took incredible care of my dog right at home, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Lydia was professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which made us feel connected and reassured the whole time. When we returned, my dog was calm, content, and clearly well cared for—it was like we had never left! The house was also well taken care of and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in perfect order including taking out the trash. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and amazing dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her soon again now that we know her and can plan more trips where we won't have to worry about our dog! 🐾💛

I really appreciate Lydia's care for my dog for three days. My dog has a nervous nature but he liked Lydia immediately. I think he was very comfortable and Lydia's communication was great. He was so tired after he returned home from the long walks and extra attention. I will definitely work with Lydia again and would recommend for dog sitting.

Lydia did a fantastic job looking after my dog Sue for a week! I think he was almost sad to go home.

Schedule

I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide constant care for your pet throughout the day. I’m a very active person and often go on long walks and trips to the lake, perfect for pups who love adventure! But if your dog prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m just as happy to spend quality time indoors keeping them company. No matter their energy level, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for.
