About Lydia K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to spend quality time with your cats or dogs, and I can also housesit if needed. Dogs: I’ll let them out into a fenced yard and keep them company, or take them on short walks if that’s preferred. Cats: I can feed, brush, clean the litter, and, of course, give your furry friend the attention they deserve.
Information Lydia K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog, cat, or other pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know about any dietary restrictions, allergies, or medical conditions. If your dog is sensitive to certain triggers or reactive to other dogs on walks, let me know how you usually handle it so I can keep them comfortable and safe. And if your pet has any special words, cues, or routines they know, I’d love to learn them too!
A typical day
I will spend quality time with your dog—playing, petting, and talking with them. If you’d like, I can take them into a fenced yard to throw a ball, or simply relax with them on the couch. I’d also love to hear what your dog especially enjoys and needs, since every dog is unique. With cats, I’ll follow their lead—petting or grooming them if they want, talking with them, cleaning their litter box, and playing if they enjoy interactive time. I’m always open to learning about the specific needs and preferences of your cat. For small animals such as birds, hamsters, or pet rats, I’ll clean their cages and make sure they have fresh food and water as you provide. I can not care for guinea pigs (allergies)

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve opened my home and heart to foster pets—helping cats find their forever families and even fostering a dog through R&R Rescue. I’ve also volunteered with Team Dog Rescue, supporting their important work. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or a calm presence, I genuinely enjoy the company of animals of all kinds and treat every pet as if they were my own.
Reviews
Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!
Lydia did a good job keeping my kitties company.
Lydia was amazing with our girls (dogs) and boy (cat). Always giving us updates, giving them love and taking them in special trips. My girls missed her the first night she was away. She went the extra mile. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.
Thank you Lydia for another stellar job! We are so thankful for your care and attention.
