Aspiring Dog Walker!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs and cats all through childhood and adulthood. This year marks the first year I am living without an animal needless to say, I miss being around them! I’ve walked dogs and house-sat cats professionally for about 2 years, all animals varied in weight and breed so I am open to all shapes, sizes, and types.
Reviews
Lydia has always been reliable and easy to work with. She loves animals and our dogs really like her. We have been very happy with her.

Safety, trust & environment
I am open to having small dogs or cats in my home for no more than a weekend. I live in an apartment so I would not want to limit space for a larger animal. I enjoy long or short walks for dogs (maybe cats, if they enjoy it! ❤️), all depends on their energy and endurance level. I give treats and cuddles for good behavior, of course. I am comfortable with animals on my furniture, unless of course you’d rather them not for any training purposes. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy my time with animals and want them to enjoy their time with me. I treat each animal as if it’s my own ❤️

Information Lydia J. would like to know about your pet
It’s very important for me to know when dogs have some certain needs. If dogs don’t get along the best with other dogs, if they’re scared of certain things (loud noises, garbage trucks, men, etc), just so I know how to best avoid situations that might alert or scare them. Age is important as well! It helps me gauge pace and length of the walk and all round what to expect :)
A typical day
I love going on walks around my neighborhood. It has a nice big hill, so it’s good exercise! There is a dog park within walking distance of my apartment. I have lots of friends with dogs, so if you and your dog are comfortable there are always play dates than can be arranged!
