Dog-loving Graduate Student

Pet care experience

I’m a graduate student with study abroad in the future, so now isn’t a great time to get my own dog although I would love to. I’ve had dogs my entire life, including one that lived with me in my college townhome. I love being outside and will hang out with your dog(s) outdoors if they want! I’m also an avid runner and can run with your dog if you’d prefer that over walking. My yard has plenty of space for games of fetch if your dog boards at my place. I hope we can find some time for me to hang out with your furry friend!

Fantastic experience. Lydia went above and beyond to meet my pup’s needs during the stay. Would highly recommend to any pet owners. 10/10 experience with Lydia.

Our experience with Lydia was great start to finish! Great communication, she sent pics and updates. We have a nervous Nelly dog who gets very dramatic when any time we have to leave him. But he seemed very happy and comfortable when we came for pick up. We would definitely use Lydia again!! Thank you Lydia and Christian

Lydia was clearly comfortable with dogs and we felt confident in her day care (1 day) for our dachshund. I would contact her again. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very responsive with communication.

I have a fenced in, grassy back yard that’s perfect for playing with a dog. I live in a quiet, very dog-friendly neighborhood great for walks/runs.
