Furry Adventures Await with Me!

Pet care experience

What distinguishes me from other dog sitters is my lifelong companionship with dogs, instilling in me an innate understanding of their needs and behaviors. Beyond my extensive experience as a dog owner, I possess specialized skills that cater to a wide range of canine requirements. Whether it's training energetic puppies, ensuring the comfort and well-being of senior dogs, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I am well-equipped to handle diverse situations. Your furry companions will not only receive responsible care but also benefit from my adeptness at creating tailored routines that accommodate their unique personalities and preferences. With me, you can rest assured that your beloved dogs will be treated with the utmost respect, attention, and devotion.

Lydia was amazing! Jedi unexpectedly got sick and she was in contact with me immediately and provided excellent care the entire time he was there. Would absolutely ask Lydia to watch him again. The care, love, and knowledge she has for dogs is evident.

It had been about six months since Dash stayed with Lydia (we don’t go many places without Dash) and after a day care stay last night and the next afternoon, Dash was definitely at home. Yup, two back to back stays! When Dash saw Lydia, she wagged her tail and was happy, and Dash is normally very aloof to people (and dogs). We appreciated that Dash had a long walk as she LOVES to explore outside and investigate smells. We’ll be back! Thanks Lydia!

Lydia was fantastic! She gave us updates and pics/videos throughout the weekend and our dog had a great time. Would definitely recommend!

Lydia was awesome. She was very flexable with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures and a video throughout the day to let was know that Nixon was doing well. We look forward to using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. If providing care in my own home, I ensure a cozy and pet-friendly environment. I'm fortunate to have access to a nearby dog park within my apartment complex, where dogs can socialize, play fetch, and enjoy outdoor activities. Additionally, I'm conveniently located near various walking and hiking trails, which offer stimulating adventures for energetic dogs to explore nature. For those preferring a more relaxed setting, there's a spacious greenspace near my apartment, ideal for leisurely strolls and lounging in the sun. Regardless of the service, whether it's boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, my goal is to create a tailored experience that aligns with each pet's individual needs and preferences, making their time with me both enjoyable and fulfilling.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, even with a full-time job. Despite my professional commitments, I am devoted to providing exceptional care to dogs. During weekdays, I prioritize early morning walks and playtime before work, ensuring they start the day with positive energy. I've strategically structured my evenings around quality time with the dogs, focusing on exercise and interaction. On weekends, I offer extended care and undivided attention, making it the perfect opportunity for boarding and a truly immersive experience. My commitment to their well-being and my ability to provide attentive care during the weekends guarantees that your dogs will receive the utmost attention.
