Information Lydia R. would like to know about your pet

I am flexible, again, with the type of animal and their needs. One of my bunnies is missing her teeth...so we chop up her veggies to make things easier. Every animal deserves love! Looking forward to caring for your pet.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs. I love to play with cats (especially those string toys!). But really, I bet you have so many great rhythms established that I can continue!

Lydia is the best! She is so communicative, takes the best pictures/videos, and really bonds with your pet. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for a reliable sitter during your travels.

Lydia took wonderful care of my Peanut while I was away for Christmas. He hid from her for the first few days, but she was so patient and kind and completely won him over. She sent great photos and videos of every visit. I truly cannot recommend Lydia highly enough.

Lydia did an amazing job checking in on our kittens! I loved all the photos, videos, and detailed updates that she provided. Our kittens are young and shy and this was their first time being alone overnight, but Lydia is very friendly and they warmed up to her quickly. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely do so again.

I would highly recommend booking visits for your animals with Lydia. She sends tons of detail along with her picture and video updates while you are away to keep you informed. She spent time getting to know my animal and relating with him. I couldn’t recommend her services more!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
