Pet care experience

Message me for precise open hours!

I've taken care of a variety of animals since the age of 10. I grew up with a dog and cat who were partially my responsibility as well as fed, walked, and boarded friends and family members pets when they were out of town. In my adult life I've continued the habit of offering these services to friends and family members. Services include: walks, feeding regimens (including medication administration), litter scooping, playtime, and cuddles/pets. For the last 2 years I've had a dog of my own, Honey-Mustard, pictured on my profile. :) I genuinely enjoy taking care of and bonding with animals of all kinds! I'm experienced with chickens and small mammals (gerbils, hamsters, etc.) as well!

Lydia was great! She was super responsible with my senior cat who needs oral meds. I could tell she took extra time to cuddle and play with him. She cleaned up everything before I came home. Booking and communication was easy and she sent pictures/updates regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Lydia is the best! Not only am I comfortable leaving my dog with her but my dog also loves staying with her. Lydia has always communicated very well between schedules and keeping me updated on what adventures her and my pooch went on that day.
