Highlights
Pet care experience
Nurse by trade, pet lover by choice
I combine a lifetime of family pet care with the professional skills of a night-shift pediatric nurse. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and highly trained in giving medications and tracking health changes. I’d love to bring this unique blend of expert medical care and genuine love to your pets!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am a people-pleasing perfectionist. I am respectful of your home, routines, boundaries, and of course, pets. Give me detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T.
Ratings and reviews
Lydia was great! Took our buddy on long walks and sent lots of pics. Made leaving totally stress-free.
My granddaughter, Lydia Jayne, would like very much to help care for other's pets. She has always loved animals, and is a very caring and responsible person. She has had experience helping us care for our numerous pets, from Guinea pigs to dogs and cats and horses, since she was a little girl. Now that she is grown up, she has become a nurse, extending her patience, kindness and compassion to the children she cares for at John Hopkins Hospital. Being able to spend time with someone's special fur baby would bring her happiness. And the pets will love her!!!
We love Lydia and, even more notably, our pets love Lydia! She took great care of all of our animals (in total it was 4 dogs and 4 cats) while we went on a vacation for a week. They were well cared for, safe and happy while we were gone. Our animals are always happy to see her! I think they fell in love with her kindness, friendly, fun, and nurturing personality!
