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.

Lydia has looked after Freddie a few times - I highly recommend her. Lydia has kept in touch before and during the sitting to create a smooth experience. Freddie is excited to see her, which reassures he’s comfortable with her. Lydia has made sure he’s received his ongoing medication on time and confirmed when this has been given, which is really helpful. Thanks again Lydia
