Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog owner and dog shelter volunteer
I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with dogs that bolt when doors are opened outside and know how to block them properly. When helping with potting breaks they can be play breaks to get rid of excess energy. I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.
Ratings and reviews
Lydia was super helpful on a whim & great with our dogs. Would certainly recommend her to anyone!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Winston received from Lydia! Winston felt comfortable with her right away, and I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind! Lydia did an amazing job meeting Winston’s specific needs, including carefully following his food restrictions and making sure he got his medication on schedule. It meant so much knowing she was so attentive and detail-oriented. Lydia went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met, from exercise to attention and keeping his routine consistent. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Lydia is an exceptionally caring and compassionate dog lover. She has watched our golden retriever, Winston, many times, and she always showers him with attention, affection, and thoughtful care. Lydia also has extensive experience supporting elderly dogs with specialized needs. She’s comfortable administering medications, assisting with bathing, and providing gentle, attentive walks. Beyond her personal pet‑care experience, Lydia has volunteered at an animal shelter, where she cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. She’s incredibly reliable and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend booking with Lydia the next time your dog needs care — she’s truly wonderful.
