Safety, trust & environment

Making sure an animal feels safe and comforted is my top priority! I believe keeping the pet in their normal home environment helps reduce the anxiety and fear they may have from their caregivers being away. I also like to try and keep their normal routine going just as if the parents were still home.

Information Lydia M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything particular to your pet such as meal times, exercise needs, temperament, special requirements, elderly or puppy care, etc.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and cats the way they like to be played with. Does your pup need a long walk? I can do that! Do you have a pup that can only do short walks and likes to play mostly inside? I can do that too!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a kid I have loved animals and I'm experienced with both cats and dogs. I have taken care of a range of different types of pups and kitties including senior dogs, special needs dogs, puppies, senior cats and kittens. I love them all no matter shape, size, or personality. Have a grumpy cat? I still love them. Have an ecstatic puppy? I'll still love them.

Our pups adore Lydia and it is obvious from the pictures she sends every day that they are safe, comfortable, and content. She is a wonderful house and pet sitter.

Lydia was wonderful! She was very responsive and took care of Raptor like he was her own. Our pup had so much playing with Benny and Lydia. He’s exhausted now! Would definitely book with Lydia again!

Our pups adore Lydia and we always see in the pictures she sends us every day how content and happy they are when she stays with them.

Lydia does a fabulous job caring for our boys (cats). They are very comfortable with her which means a lot to us when we’re away. I have used her before and will use her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
