Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, fully insured pet care
I’ve been pet and house sitting on Rover since 2023 and have looked after all sorts of dogs and cats, including senior pets and those needing oral medication. I work remotely full time, so I’m generally quite flexible, though walks and routines do need to fit around my working day. I grew up with our family dog, Harvey, who we had for 16 years, and he really cemented my love for animals. I would love to help look after your pet in their own home, where they have their own bed, routine, and space to feel safe and happy. Whether you have a dog or a cat (or both!), I’m here to help. I'm based in Exmouth and have set my service radius to include nearby areas. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Lydia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, including public liability cover, this is separate from Rover, as they don’t provide insurance as standard. I treat your home, belongings, and security with the same care and respect as my own. I’ll always confirm walk times, durations, and feeding schedules from the start to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. Sticking closely to their routine helps them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Really great experience with Lydia looking after our little dog. She sent loads of updates so we knew all was going well, and Betty seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. Would definitely recommend Lydia and will rebook!
Lydia looked after our Labrador and took extra special care of him in the heat. Lydia kept us up to date and looked after our house and dog with care. She is a lovely person and loves animals , I would highly recommend her.
I recently had the pleasure of having Lydia as our dog sitter, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent; she kept me updated throughout the day, which put my mind at ease. My dog, Finn, had such a wonderful time with her! It was clear that he was happy and well cared for, which is the most important thing for any pet owner. Lydia was also incredibly accommodating with all my requests, showing her willingness to go the extra mile. Overall, I’m very happy with the care Lydia provided and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Lydia was fantastic. My pup had the best time with her and the house was pristine when I got back. Will definitely use her again!
Lydia took great care of Delilah and Milo. She kept me well informed, sent photos and kept me reassured. And the house was left very tidy. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend.
Very calm and reassuring. Super reliable and accommodating when I needed to change timings slightly. Both pets seemed very relaxed with Lydia. Would definitely ask to pet- sit again.

Schedule
I work remotely full time, so I can be around during the day and keep your pet company, with walks and care fitting around my working day. I’m also happy to set up my laptop at your place :) For overnight stays, it really depends on your home and location, so I like to arrange a meet and greet first to make sure it works for everyone.
