Comfortable w any style of dog life

Pet care experience

I have been with dogs all my life. My mother worked for CCI and Guide Dogs For The Blind. Our family has raised several liters of puppies, and I have taken care of numerous pets for years. I love all types of dogs and very excited to take care of them while owners are away. I strive for givin them a type of vacation. I want my visits to be fun and adventurous. I am also down for dogs who just want to lie around all day. I can play for hours if needed. I am interested for all the different personalities these dogs will bring. I can’t wait to have a good time.

Second time having Lydia watch our kitties and she was great! Sent pictures every day and they just seem to really love her. Will definitely continue to use her in the future.

We booked Lydia with very short notice and she was fantastic! She was friendly, responsive and obviously enjoyed being with our animals (hiked with our retriever/setter mix and hung with our two cats). Great communication and enthusiasm, I will certainly ask for her help again. Highly recommend!

Lydia was wonderful while were out of town for the holiday week. She took great care of our 2 pups and kept our home clean. I received updated pictures each day and saw happy pup faces playing and on walks in the neighborhood. I would most definitely recommend Lydia, she is awesome!!

Lydia was amazing! She sat at our house while we went on a 3 night vacation. I was extremely nervous since I had only had family watch my kitties and house, but I was quickly put at ease by how the cats reacted to her. She conquered my very nervous cat Puff and made him feel at ease as well as my other two kitties. Sent multiple pictures and I could tell the cats were extremely happy and comfortable with her. She even watered my plants and flowers outside. Everything was clean and tidy when we got home. Will definitely use her services again.
