I'll go on adventures with your dog

Pet care experience

I am currently completing my MSPH at Johns Hopkins virtually and have an open schedule to play with and take care of your pets. I have worked in animal rescue for 10 years and have interacted with and cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities. This has also included giving medications and first aid care, so I am also comfortable with providing those services. I love to build a relationship with the dogs that are in my care. My personal dogs love to meet other dogs and are very sweet. I also love to go on adventures and if your dog enjoys that they most definitely can come on hikes and go for runs with me and my dogs. I am available all days of the week. I have experience with training as well so if that is something you would like help with I would be happy to assist. Finally I love dog photography so if you would like new portraits of your family member I would enjoy the opportunity to capture those images.

Lydia was a godsend! I had a last-minute work emergency come up, and she agreed to watch my boy for a couple hours while I handled business. She took him to the park and let him run around like the energizer bunny he is. She was responsive, considerate, and patient. Dino was immediately comfortable with Lydia, and that’s rare for him. Thank you so much, Lydia! To anyone needing care for their four-legged family members, Lydia’s the one to call, hands down.

Lydia was amazing! I needed someone to watch my dog urgently and I lucked out with Lydia. My puppy Reese took a quick liking to her! I hope that if I ever need a sitter again... Lydia is available!

Lydia was great! She spent time at our initial meeting getting to know Harley, and all of his quirks and routines. For her stay overnight, she sent lots of photos of my fur baby and kept me updated. Harley was happy when we returned. She responds quickly and is very accommodating. Thanks Lydia!

Lydia was great and super accommodating on really short notice around the holidays. My dogs were super happy when I got home & it was so nice to get pics and status updates while I was gone to know they were doing well. I’m would trust my babies with her again :)
