Your Dog’s New Best Friend
I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Bichon Frisés, and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard, two crates and four dogs all ready to be their new best friend! I do prefer to watch them in your home, not mine as I have one dog that isn’t the most friendly.
Ratings and reviews
Lydia was great! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous. However, Lydia put us at ease. She took the time to get to know our three dogs. Also, Lydia was very patient, understanding, and caring knowing some of our dogs had some separation issues while we were away. Eventually, all three dogs became comfortable with Lydia. Lydia provided daily updates and pictures of the dogs and even did a Facetime call which gave us piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. We trust Lydia and would book her again if needed.
Lydia cared for Lou twice a day, sent me pictures each visit to confirm her being there without me asking for that. Even came early before a storm one day so Lou didn’t have to go out in the rain. Communication was great so I recommend!
