Your Fur Babies are my Fur Babies

I have a love and respect for all creatures great and small. I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 50 years. Now, I'm also taking care of my grandchildren's babies which have included hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, 2 tarantulas and scorpion. I am retired so my time is open.. Homes are the happiest when filled with pets. In our family we've had several dogs, cats, birds, an iguana, a turtle, a toad, and I've rescued and released 2 robins and a squirrel. I'm experienced and delighted to help with yours too!! I lost my Lily, a black lab, after 14 years. Right now I have an adopted kitty. I will do for your pets as I have done for mine. I'm unable to sit or board in my apartment. It's important to maintain a safe, secure, and stimulating environment filled with lots of love, with scratches behind the ears and belly rubs.

Lydia did a great job of caring for our very timid dog. Everything was clean and in place when we came home. We would be happy to have Lydia care for Marci the next time we need a pet sitter.

This was our second time leaving our cats under Lydia’s care. She did a fantastic job as always. We’ll definitely continue to call her whenever we’re out of town.

Lydia was fantastic! She treated our three cats with such love and care, sent us constant updates, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable while we were away. I only wish I would have found Lydia sooner, I will be calling her back any time we need to travel.

Lydia has gone above and beyond in all ways. Lulu was treated like a rock star. And so we're we 'parents', with pics and videos and updates. Wonderful!

Amazing as always. Knowing Lydia treats my dog as her own gives me peace of mind when I am traveling. I am so glad I found her.
