Pet care experience

All creatures big and small

I’ve always been a fur baby mom, I can remember as young as 7 finding stray animals and taking them home to take care of them. I currently have a corgi and two sassy cats. I’ve also volunteered at the animal shelter, so I’ve worked with numerous breeds, temperaments, and ages. I’m comfortable with all animals and I truly have a passion for working with them.

Boarding • Jul 21, 2025

Lydia is a life saver! My other sitter cancelled last minute and Lydia came to the rescue. She took wonderful care of my pup, including regular updates and photos. I can’t recommend her enough, she will be my go-to from here on out. 10/10 would recommend to any and all.

Boarding • Jul 08, 2025

Lydia took exceptional care of our little girl Lily while we were away on a 5 day vacation. She accommodated our need to board on very short notice after our regular dog boarder had to cancel due to a family emergency. Our Lily is a small chihuahua-dachshund mix of less than 6 lbs. Lydia spoiled her with lots of love and cuddles. We received timely updates and photos which allowed us to really relax, and enjoy our time away knowing Lily was safe, happy, and having fun! We highly recommend Lydia and will definitely board Lily with her in the future.

Lydia is wonderful with animals. She has taken care of our two chihuahuas, Corgi, tortoise, and our two cats many times. I feel so confident and comfortable leaving them in her care and I never worry. She really has compassion and knowledge for their needs and I know they are being loved and well cared for while I am away. I know that she has pets of her own and they are treated like family. I highly recommend Lydia for the care of your pets.
