Pet care experience

Happy pets and happy owners :)

Hi, I'm Lydia, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra helping hand, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I've cared for and fostered dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. Through that experience, I've become comfortable administering medications, caring for anxious or reactive pets, and adapting to each pet's unique personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, chasing toys, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also a registered nurse, so providing attentive care, following detailed instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations are second nature to me. I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several full days to dedicate to pet care, including walks, runs, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. My goal is simple: to care for your pet as if they were my own while giving you complete peace of mind. During every visit, I'll send detailed updates along with plenty of photos, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. I pride myself on being punctual, communicative, and reliable, and I would be honored to earn your trust. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family!

A typical day

A typical day would look like exactly how you think would best serve your pet! I'll be an active communicator on what activities your pet loves and follow through. I love walks, runs, playing outside, and also a good excuse for a day on the couch!
