About Lydia P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
This often varies based on what services I provide, but no matter what I will always treat them like my own. I care deeply for animals and have done a lot of studying and training in animal welfare. I am well versed with animal behavior so I will update if there’s any cause for concern or just send pictures of the happy dog. I do try to send at least one photo everyday when dog sitting so that way you can have you mind at ease knowing your dog is safe and well cared for.
Information Lydia P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how the dog acts around other dogs and if there are any special dietary needs. Also if the dog likes certain places or activities I would love to be able to do that with them.
A typical day
I work Fridays through Tuesdays from 7-3. This means I usually leave the house around 6 am and I won’t be back until around 3:30-4 pm. Some days I can get stuck at work due to animal moves or procedures at work but I will always be sure to take the dog out immediately once I get back.

Pets
I work in animal care full time
Pet care experience
I work in animal care at the Audubon Aquarium, so I have plenty of experience with animals. I have had family dogs my whole life. I love dogs and get along with them very well. If there are other animals in the house I will care for them as well. I have experience walking and house sitting for dogs including giving them pills and other forms of medication. I also have experience training puppies, as I helped train my family's golden retriever puppy. I also train a variety of different animals at my job with the aquarium. If you have a training collar for your dog, I do have experience using and training with one. I enjoy long walks so taking your dog out will be no issue. If there are treats that they enjoy or if you would like me to give them treats for good behavior, just let me know! I will play with your dog and give them all the love that they deserve.
Reviews
Lydia took great care of Cannon and our house! She communicated with us daily, sent photos, and was responsive and attentive to all directions and details we provided. I felt very comfortable knowing Cannon was in her care. I would highly recommend her!
Lydia forever! She is absolutely the best. Thank you so much!!!
Lydia gets a five star tail wag review from Rex! She was great from start to finish and gave us lots of updates and pics! It was our first experience using Rover and we feel very fortunate that Lydia was available and flexible. She connected with Rex quickly and he was happy to have her company! Thank you, Lydia!
Lydia watched our dogs in our home over the Fourth of July holiday. She was wonderful and we came back to a tidy home and happy, healthy dogs! Lydia provided updates and photos throughout her visit and even provided one of our pups with anxiety meds to help him cope with the fireworks. We would love to use her services again!
