Pet care experience

DBS checked experienced dog walker.

I have worked in the Animal Care Industry for over 4 years now including at two different doggy daycare centres one of which had upto 70 dogs at any one time, I have also worked as an Animal Care Assistant for a dog walking company which consisted of a mixture of walking multiple dogs at any one time, providing house sitting services and drop in home visits to, I had the responsibility of transporting the dogs (sometimes as many as 14 in one van) to and from their homes safely on a week daily basis, overall, during this time I have gained alot of important experience in caring for your furry friends and I will treat your pet as if they were my own as they deserve nothing less than the best!!. Before caring for your pet I will offer to carry out a detailed consultation in order to get to know and understand your pets unique personality and to find out their exact needs to provide an appropriate care routine created especially for them, this gives a more tailored approach and ensures that your pet is safe hands!. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any enquiries!. kind regards Lydia 🐰🐕🐈🐾

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our German Shepherd, Max. Lydia took exceptional care of him and kept us updated throughout our 10 days away with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear that Max had a fantastic time and was treated with great care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

Lydia looked after our frenchie Charlie and was outstanding. We had regular updates and Lydia gave Charlie lots of attention. We could relax knowing that Charlie was well cared for. Very happy with Lydia and she deserves 5 stars.

Lydia was fantastic looking after our dog Marshall. She was very conscientious and did everything we asked, while Marshall very much enjoyed her staying too! We would definitely book Lydia again!

Lydia looked after our dog, Buster, yesterday while we attended a wedding, and she was fantastic. This is the second time we’ve used her, and Buster absolutely loves her! It was so reassuring knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We’d highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a kind, reliable dog sitter. Thank you again ❤️

Thanks again to Lydia for looking after Eva on Friday. We had an important event to attend and we needed to arrive on time. Lydia arrived early to enable us to leave in good time. We were sent lots of pictures during the day and we could see that Eva was being well looked after. We hope to be in touch soon.

This is the first time we have booked Lydia to sit with our cocker spaniel (Eva). We needed someone who would come to our house for the day. After a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago Lydia gave us the confidence that Eva would be happy with her. On the day Lydia arrived early and gave Eva plenty of attention which allowed us to get to the station in good time. During the day we received plenty of pictures and a video. Lydia also took Eva out for an on-lead walk. Lydia was quick to reply to messages and we were pleased that Eva was happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We would be more than happy to book Lydia again and I hope that she enjoyed her time with Eva.
