Pet care experience

Happy pets, Happy you!

I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. With two and a half years of professional experience in the animal care industry, I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—there hasn’t been a dog or cat I couldn’t manage! I’m also experienced with bathing, cleaning up messes, and making sure pets stay happy and comfortable. In addition to cats and dogs, I have personal experience caring for reptiles, fish, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, and hamsters, so your whole household of pets will be in good hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently share my home with my own fur children, a 75lb dog, a 5lb Chihuahua, and an 8-year-old cat, so I personally understand the unique needs and quirks that come with pets of all sizes and ages. I know how important it is to keep them active and engaged, and I believe playtime is one of the best ways to keep them happy and help ease the stress of missing you!

Lydia is wonderful with my two dogs. Has stepped in several times at the last minute despite her own very busy schedule. Thank you, Lydia!

Couldn’t have asked for a better cat-sitter. This is the longest I’ve ever had to leave Victor on my own and Lydia made that so much easier. Even when there were difficulties accessing the apartment— she was still so helpful! Will vouch 100%

Schedule

Caring for pets is my full-time job, which means I have more flexibility and availability than most sitters, but please understand that I have other fur babies to care for during the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that provide the best coverage for your pets’ needs. Whether it’s visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure the schedule works for you—and most importantly, keeps your furry loved ones happy and cared for. <3

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Lydia can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Allergies are important to know about—pollen and other common triggers can affect pets just like people, so please share any sensitivities your fur babies may have. If your dog is reactive to other dogs outside your household, just let me know! I’ll take extra precautions during walks or outings to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in public spaces.
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.
