I strive to love yours as my own!

Pet care experience

My goal is to always love your pets as I do my own. My hope is to provide you with peace when you tend to your daily needs and travels knowing that your pet is being cared for in the comfort of their own home and schedule, being accompanied by a caring and attentive person. I have many years of experience with dogs and cats, I grew up walking my neighbors dogs and pet sitting when the owners were away. I've also rescued a couple animals without homes, fostering them until they found their forever home. I have a real passion for animals, and spend lots of time through my life studying dogs and their behavior for fun, and I love to keep learning more! I apply my knowledge and care to everything I do. Additionally I am an artist and photographer and I offer professional portraits of your pet done during care OR custom artwork at any time! If you’d be interested in one or both or both of these offers please mention and ask about more info when we discuss the care I can offer for you. Please enjoy a few examples of my work included in my gallery. I hope we can work together soon to get your pet the care they deserve!

Lydia was great with the dogs! Very attentive and respectful to the home as well. She kept me in the loop without over-communicating and was very responsive. Will absolutely make her a regular in the household!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care for your pet whether it’s walking, drop in visits, or over-night care at your home! I love when my clients leave me with written instructions of any information needed. Most of my clients I pet sit in-home for, and I make sure my schedule is open so I spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I have years of experience with pets of my own and others, and I'm always learning and put time into studying dog behavior as well. My goal is to provide you with comfort knowing your pet is being fully taken care of while you are away.

Information Lydia O. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to have as much needed information as possible. It is helpful to me if you write a paper of ‘rules’ and care for your pet’s best care. I like to know what your preferences and needs are, and I like to know how well behaved your dog is on leash. (If the dog is bigger than 50 pounds It will be harder for me to walk as I am a small person, so the more I know the more helpful I can be!)

A typical day

Tell me what you know your pet prefers, short walks or long walks, fetch outside or tug of war inside. I will do what I know best to care for your fur-babies wether just inside home or outdoors. * Additionally I offer affordable and professional photography of your pet during my care, OR custom artwork of your pet! If you’d be interested in one or both or both of these offers please mention and ask about more info when we discuss the care I can offer for you. (See my gallery for a few examples).
