Furry & cozy home away from home!
Pet care experience
I love being with animals and I love helping people out. I look forward to going on walks and making some new furry friends. I’ve had experience and owned cats & dogs my whole life, along with some birds, hamsters and fish too. Im a firm believer in reinforcing good behaviors with yummy treats! I’m that person to walk your pet or give them a comfy home while you are away. I ensure to get your dog fed, bathed if needed, and even socialized. My husband is also a Rover sitter so we can tag team your needs. We have rescued both of our dogs from local shelters. First came Marley, who is now a 4 year old female Boxer mix. Then came Romo, who is a 3 year old male English Bulldog mix. Feel free to contact us for a meet n greet.
Reviews
My dog Gracie had such a good time with Lydia and did well with her very nice dogs! Gracie has separation anxiety, but Lydia gave her a lot of attention which allayed her fears. She welcomed our bringing the dog bed, etc. and wanted to know our dog's usual routine so she could closely match it. Lydia was very good at communicating, before the day care and during. It was great that she sent several pictures of Gracie having fun and going for walks. Gracie had no reservations going back for a second day with Lydia!! Highly recommended and only 10 minutes from Emerald Isle!
They are just the best. They made diesel feel a part of their family. He got in the truck so excited everyday go see his new friends. He was clean, fed, and all smiles. I'm booking them again this week for a conference. 11/10 recommend.
Lydia is one of the only people we trust to stay with our dogs when we travel and can't take them along. It is such a relief to know she loves our pups as much as she loves her own. Our 9-year old dog tends to be more nervous and would not do well at a doggie daycare or kennel, so we have to have someone check in on them. We know we can fully trust Lydia to not only check on and take care of our pups, but to be trusted in our house when we are states away from home. She gives us such peace of mind which allows us to truly enjoy our trips without worrying about the dogs.
Lydia is a great person and a spectacular pet sitter. Thank you so much for giving me piece of mind while away and treating our zoo like it is your own!! Awesome Job!!! Bruce W.

Safety, trust & environment
Although we do have an open yard, we keep our pups on a lead while making potty breaks. We can do leashed/unleashed walks around town. We also like to visit local parks for training time and a game of fetch.
Home
Information Lydia J. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have eating or sleeping preferences. Do they have any bite history, good/bad with other dogs and children? Are they crate trained or need any extra training?
A typical day
We love to make our visitors feel at home. Sometimes a good nap outside on a sunny day does the trick, other days we go explore new sniffs and take a ride to catch some wind. We can stick to your personal routine as much as possible too!

My husband, who is also Rover certified, and I now both work full time from home. We have a child who attends daycare during the day. We will need our evenings for family - so book your pet to hang out or walk with us and they will become family too!
