Availability

I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to commute throughout the day for drop in visits and walks, and can spend plenty of time with your pets if house sitting. I generally bring my own dog to the dog park twice a day, so if your dog is comfortable around other pups I’d love to bring them with me!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog is likely to meet other dogs on our walks and, if it’s okay with you, I’d bring my own dog along too for walks and park visits. If invited to care for your pet(s) at your own home, I will ensure the utmost level of cleanliness and care for your space.

Information Lydia K. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know what your dog enjoys doing with you! I want to make them feel comfortable while you’re away. It’s also important for me to know how your dog interacts with other dogs and anything I should be aware of in terms of their behavior around certain people/animals/etc.

A typical day

+ Walking around the neighborhood, local parks, outdoor trails + Running (if preferred over walking) + Playing fetch + Playing tug of war + Cuddling while I work if the dog would like

Pet care experience

I started sitting and walking dogs on Rover seven years ago as a way to spend time with pups when I wasn’t in a place to have a dog of my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to a young, friendly Bernadoodle. My pup and I love making new doggy friends and spend lots of time outside with our Rover dogs. We have several favorite dog parks that I love to visit and can bring your pup if they’re socialized. I’m an avid walker and runner, so I love to get some steps with your furry friend if they enjoy that. Send me a message and let’s set up a meet and greet 😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
