Home full-time, animal lover!

Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with three playful pups of my own who adore meeting new furry friends for playdates! Whether it's hide and seek, fetch, or any game your pet loves, I'm always ready to join in the fun. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I offer a flexible schedule and lots of attention for your pets. I also have hands-on experience from managing a doggie daycare for a few years, so you can trust that your pets are in knowledgeable and loving hands. My home is full of love — including three animal-loving kiddos (ages <1, 6 and 8) who enjoy being around pets just as much as I do. Some might even call me the "crazy dog lady," and I proudly live up to the name! I can't wait to meet your pet and treat them like family.

Thank you Lydia for your understand, compassion and reliability in helping Bogie through the major transitions of moving and “where is mommy”? I will definitely use your services again if you are available. Blessings! Pb

Lydia is absolutely wonderful. Patient and kind, she interacted so much with BuddyBuddy that she fell in love with Lydia. She was clean and kept Buddy Buddy's area immaculate. She demonstrated patience when our kitty was a little elusive (in the beginning). Later Buddy couldn't wait to see her. She made a special trip when the hail storm hit and took Buddy inside the covered porch to protect her. In short, Lydia is a gem we will always be happy to call upon in the future.

I had the occasion to request Lydia’s services to check on our cat, Slinky. It was relatively short notice as the person we had asked had cancelled at the last minute. Lydia was available and came to meet our cat and introduce herself. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. She checked in daily and made sure our pet’s needs were met. It was wonderful how quickly our pet warmed up to her and the understanding she showed in how to approach and handle dealing with him as a stranger. She sent pictures of her visits and made special arrangements when a scheduling conflict came up during our time away. I highly recommend Lydia and will be calling on her again. I hope this review doesn’t cause her to be too busy for us.

Lydia is the best! She takes excellent care of our dog, Tanner. He loves his time spent with Lydia and her family.

Had a great experience with Lydia. I felt safe leaving Pete with her from the the meet and greet. Daily photos let me know my puppy Pete was ok. Will be booking with her again if I ever have to go out of town again...
