Pet care experience

Pet Care for Pet Parents

I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Having owned multiple cats, including one with thyroid issues requiring daily medication, I’m comfortable providing specialized care when needed. I also grew up helping my mom pet sit for family members’ dogs and cats, giving me years of experience with feeding, playtime, exercise, litter box maintenance, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience with small animals like pet rats from owning them for several years and have cared for guinea pigs in the past. I'm able to give medications orally and topically for small animals. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. For dogs, I provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. For cats, I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection on their terms. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, including pills and liquid medications, as well as topical treatments. I also have experience caring for blind and deaf pets and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves interactive play or prefers to relax and simply enjoy having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and provide the mental stimulation, exercise, or calm companionship they need.

Lydia has been taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats for years. She is responsible, trustworthy and a true animal lover. Our pets adore her and are always happy to see her. She takes care of our special needs dog, providing extra care, giving extra attention—including medication. We never have to worry about our animals when Lydia is taking care of them. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting/walking/care needs.
