Pet care experience

Former service dog trainer

I trained and fostered service dogs for a non-profit for a few years, training a range of dogs from 8 week old puppies to 2 year old dogs. I also have experience working in a boarding facility where I worked with both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! And of course, now I have my forever fur baby that I spoil endlessly.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

No matter the service, I will send as many pictures/updates as you like- I know how anxiety-inducing leaving your pet can be. I am happy to meet ahead of time either virtually or in person to discuss the best care for your pet before you need me to take care of them.

Lydia is great! I’ve booked with her a couple times now and will continue to use her in the future! She’s always been flexible with me on dates and times and always takes awesome care of my golden. I always appreciate her thorough updates with lots of photos. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Lydia was amazing with our elderly cat! She was very communicative and took lots of pictures. She administered medication and treats for our girl for about a week and was prompt and so easy to work with! I’d recommend her to any pet parent and will absolutely book her again in the future!

Lydia provided excellent last-minute care for Blu. She was very communicative and flexible with little details during her visit. We will definitely ask Lydia to care for Blu in the future!

I have used Lydia multiple times and she is wonderful! My dogs are very well cared for and I don’t feel so bad leaving town when I know they’re in great hands.

Let me know of any behaviors, preferences, or routines that could be important to know about your pet(s)! For housesitting, I do have my own golden retriever that I would need to bring along, so I would like to do a meet and greet for house sitting with the dogs before!
