Pet care experience

A young professional who loves pets 🐶

I’ve always loved animals especially dogs and I treat them literally like fur babies! Ever since I was a young child I’ve had dogs around me and as pets. I use to always enjoy walking the neighbours dogs too. I’ve looked after friends and family’s pets numerous of times whilst they’ve been on holiday or just at work. I have a cocker spaniel of my own so he loves tagging along for the exercise and to socialise with other dogs! I’ve also helped friends when their dogs have had a litter. I helped them with feeding, toilet training and to keep clean.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a fenced garden with a locked gate to ensure safety the same goes for the back garden. When travelling with animals I will provide crates fitted correctly and also seatbelts for dogs that are not keen on crates

This review is going to be easy to write. The most important factor when arranging care is the wellbeing of our dogs, for them to be happy whilst we are away. When Lydia called in to meet us, Ruby and Jerry greeted her as a friend; Lydia has a relaxed and caring nature. Throughout the sit we were kept up to date with photos and videos, which clearly showed that we were not being missed in the slightest :) We had left a few housekeeping notes, such as the security of the house and garden, which is also important, ensuring the safety of both dogs and sitter. Nothing was missed, and Lydia was good enough to water the pots outside. When we returned Lydia had already left for another commitment. We were greeted by two relaxed and happy dogs who had clearly not suffered a jot! Thank you Lydia - you're a star! ✨

Lydia has been brilliant looking after my cocker spaniel puppy Dexter! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She even brought her dog Benny for a play date. Thank you for everything Dexter loves you both! ❤️

Excellent. Lovely personality, wonderful with our furbabies who had a wonderful time with her and her dog and other ne playmates they made friends with, when they were being looked after while we were away for the day. As far as we are concerned she is our family dog minder and walker for life and it is a weight off our minds to know she will be there when required.

Lydie is a kind, caring trustworthy person who I have known for the past 10 years, for these reasons I would definitely recommend her to look after your treasured pet. Nothing is too much trouble, she goes above and beyond for anyone. Lydie’s is not unfamiliar with dogs she has her own and has looked after my own and was fantastic with her. She is the perfect person for the job by far!

Lydia has been walking our family dog and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She goes on long, open field walks so our dog can run freely and let off some energy. She is of course conscious of other dog walkers and only lets off our dog when other dogs aren’t around knowing our dog comes back immediately when called. She has a full DBS and our dog loves her. It is nice to have peace of mind knowing she loves our dog as much as us and in good care when with her. Thank you for your hard work Lydia

I would recommend Lydie highly, she is brilliant with my pooches and they love her, she's always on time and looks after them as if they were her own, wouldn't trust anyone else with my pooches since finding Lydie x
