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!
Reviews
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.
Outstanding home, great communication and fantastic service. So friendly and welcoming of our 4 legged family member!
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.

Safety, trust & environment
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. Your dog is likely to encounter other dogs during our walks. If invited to care for your dog(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 on homework if the dog would like
