Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard, so your pets safety and location will be easily prioritized. I also live in a neighborhood that is very walkable and safe, so they can get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8 month old Lab named Marley. She has the sweetest temperament and would have an absolute blast playing with your pup.

Information Lydia H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any concerning behaviors. I do not have experience with resource guarders or reactive dogs and would not feel comfortable caring for them. I would prefer to meet your pup in advance to establish a relationship.

A typical day

I can also go on long walks and give them the time to sniff for as much mental stimulation as they want! I also have toys, bones, and food-games to keep them occupied. My own puppy would love to play with any other dog and would definitely wear them out!

Flexible, Caring Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since I was a young kid. I spent a lot of time at my aunts house, who had a variety of animals at all times. I have had experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I have an 8 month old Labrador whom I have raised and trained since she was 8 weeks old, so I understand puppy behavior. My love for dogs spans all breed, sizes, and ages. I believe animals are family and should be treated as such. I am a medical student, so my schedule is variable but I am open to any request. Whatever your pet may need, I will be happy to accommodate. I look forward to caring for your pet(s)!

Lydia was great! I loved getting all of the updates and pictures while we were away. All of my pets seemed to love her as well.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
