Availability
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

About Lydia N.
Communication
Dog skills
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!
Information Lydia N. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
When I care for your fur babies, I like to make every visit fun, engaging, and comforting. With dogs, I enjoy mixing things up depending on their personality—whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply some belly rubs and snuggle time. I know how important it is for them to burn off energy and keep their minds active, so I make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. For cats, I love bringing out toys, laser pointers, or even just sitting with them for calm cuddle sessions if that’s more their style. I also make sure they stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. At the end of the day, my goal is to give them the love, fun, and comfort they need so they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy while you’re gone.

Pet care experience
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.
