Availability
I currently have open availability with a lot of flexibility right now. My times on here will always be current so there is no confusion in availability. I wake up around five every morning and don’t go to sleep until 10pm, so there is flexibility where I can be to help out. I do walk everywhere, but will always show up right on time to make sure your pets are taken care of.

About Lydia H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As mentioned before I am trained in dog first aid and CPR. Aside from that I am well versed in illnesses or complications your pet may have and will collaborate with you for anything else health related. If things become unsafe for either your dog or myself I will let you know as soon as I am aware of it, and we can go from there together as well. While on walks with your furry friend, they will be my number one priority. I won’t have my head in my phone or take them somewhere that’s not appropriate. If anything is to your dislike, please let me know so we can either work it out or go our separate ways.
Information Lydia H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about the following ahead of time: -Allergies (Food, Medicine, Skin, etc.) -Activity Level -Health Concerns -Can they go to the dog park? -Are they altered? -Are they animal/people friendly? -Do they resource guard? (Affection, food, toys, etc.) -If currently in the middle of training, what are you guys working on so it can be consistent for them? And anything other than above that is useful in helping your pet be the most successful during our time together!
A typical day
Depending on activity level and what they want to do, we can go for a long walk, we can go to the dog park and have fun over there, or if they just want to walk not far and get cuddles and attention we can do that too. If they have a preferred activity when they’re out and about (seeing a neighborhood friend, getting Pupcakes, certain parks, etc.) please let me know! I want them to have a fun time when they’re with me. I will have my own treats on hand for positive renforcement, but if your dog is not food motivated or needs their own treats please let me know. Options for helping you reinforce any training behaviors, or help your furry friend become a little bit more social are also in my wheel house too.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around all sorts of animals my whole life, but specifically specialize in dog care. I have three years of experience dog daycare, trained in giving a variety of breeds nail trims and baths, and currently studying to become dog trainer certified. Aside from that experience, I am also trained in dog first aid and cpr. I highly prioritize your loved one’s safety first. I do personally love taking care of senior animals. They go at their own pace and I will always be patient and accommodating for them what ever their special needs may be. No matter what age your furry friend is, or breed, or size, I will treat your pet with the utmost care and love like they were my own.
Cat care experience
Lydia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
As always lydia was great. Our pup just loves her. Always keeps us informed. Lots of Pics so we see how happy luna is.
Lydia was a great sitter! Our shy pup took a while to warm up and she was so patient.
Our dogs loved Lydia! She did a great job taking care of them and our cat. The house was tidy when we arrived home. We really appreciated receiving photos of the pets while we were away!
Lydia is so caring and communicative, she did an amazing job caring for our kitty - she played with him, gave him cuddles, noted his eating habits. Lydia also noticed a change in his energy level and perceptively linked it to missing his human parents.
