Lydia was fantastic! From the point of booking, to taking time to meet Rogue before his stay, to the time she spent taking care of him. I loved the updates and you could see he was so happy. Would 100% recommend Lydia. Fantastic service from start to finish. It’s lovely to have someone care for your pets as much as you do! Thank you so much!

Our cocker spaniel Betty stayed with Lydia for a couple of weeks and was well looked after. She had great fun with Lydia and her cocker Rosie. All instructions for Betty's care were followed and she came home fit and healthy. We gave 4 stars rather than 5 only because we only had 3 or 4 updates over the 2 weeks and would have welcomed more regular updates and photos to be reassured all was well. Other than that would definitely recommend Lydia as a safe amd caring sitter.

Lydia is such a welcoming.and kind person, it was a pleasure to use her services again. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. My dog was so well cared for, happy, and relaxed, and it was clear she received lots of love and attention whilst on her holiday. Waëla was bouncing off the car windows with excitement when we turned into Lydia's street for drop off. Great communication throughout, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I would happily recommend Lydia to anyone and will definitely be booking again!

Lydia took great care of my old girl, taking her for walks and making sure she was comfortable and well looked after. Excellent service! Will be booking with her again. Wholeheartedly recommend! 👌
