Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For services in my own home, I have a dog to keep your pet company and live in a great neighborhood to take them for walks in! During the winter, I also frequently visit a local golf course which acts as a huge dog park. During the summer, I have access to a private swimming pool that I take dogs to as well. For services in your home, I would make sure to follow all directions given to me to ensure that your pets are cared for as if you were taking care of them yourself! I could also bring my dog for playdates, if desired.

Lydia was fantastic! Very easy communication. She provided updates and pics and vids both days. Kept Walter busy playing in the backyard.

I’ve booked with Lydia multiple times now, and every experience has been excellent. She is a great communicator, always sends photo updates, and treats my dog so well. My dog is always happy and comfortable when I return. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Lydia. Our animals loved her and she was prompt and communicative. We always knew how the visit went, received pictures and she asked questions to be sure she understood their needs and what we wanted taken care of. We would not hesitate hiring her again.

I highly recommend Lydia. Her calm energy is exactly what my dogs need. My lively dogs are happy and tired after her walks and drop-ins. What I appreciate most about my interaction with Lydia is her communication. She is proactive and thoughtful in the way she communicates. She asks for clarification and she anticipates any possible needs that may come up. It was great to see photos and get her updates when she spent time with the dogs. I feel confident she will carry out whatever we discuss. She is also reliable and timely. I would definitely call on her again!
