Do not use Lydia. She keeps more dogs at her home than is safe or legally allowed. I booked a stay for my dog expecting it to be my dog and her two small dogs. Instead, as I dropped off a forgotten item before leaving town, I found another large dog being dropped off by their owner and overheard they are staying for three days. I did not agree or understand that there would be so many dogs boarding. When I brought my concerns to her, she tried to brush them off. However, I know that Minneapolis has laws about how many dogs can be in a home. I took my dog home. This company is letting this sitter book 5 or more dogs boarding in a home. In addition to the daycare dogs she sees.

Thanks Lydia for taking care of George!

Our dog loves going to Lydia’s! This was our second time taking him. He loves playing with other dogs and he lives his best life. Lydia sends lots of pictures to help keep you posted. She was a huge help for our last-minute dog-sitter need too. Thank you!!!

We don't typically have the privilege of visiting the same sitter twice, because we move so often. However, this was Cam and Morgan's second stay at Lydia's, and they were well cared for like the previous time. Grateful to her for keeping them on short notice while we attended a Twins game.

Lydia is great! Our puppy gets so much social time and exercise with her, and she sends many updates!

I live only a couple of blocks from Lydia, and the day after picking up my dog, I happened to see her while out on a walk with my dog. At the time, I saw her spray the dogs she was pet sitting with water as they were barking along the fence line. My dog is already somewhat skittish around baths and water, and he seemed noticeably uneasy after returning home. I now have a better understanding of what may have contributed to that behavior. Additionally, he had an unpleasant odor when I picked him up. Based on this experience, I will not be using Lydia’s services again.
