Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover from a very young age and loved dogs of all ranges from small to big, young and old. As I got older I owned my first two dogs at the age of 10 and loved playing with them, taking them out for walks, and hanging out. My first two dogs to own were a red nose Pit Bull named Saltan and a Rottweiler named Chloe. As I got older I would willingly take my cousins dachshund (Gidget) to care for at my house while they were away. I have also been known to care for my friends dogs from walking, playing and having them spend the night and ranging from small poodles to big pit bulls. I love go on long walks around Jamaica pond and hiking through the trails that are near my home. I often go to the MSPCA and play with the dogs that are waiting to be adopted. In the future I wish to rescue my next dog, but until I am able to I would love to care for your dogs of all ages and sizes! I am reliable, experienced dog lover who will be more than happy to care for your dogs! I can also send text/email updates if that preferred.

Lydia was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and was a little anxious for my rescue pup, but I had no reason to be. The pups were in great hands with Lydia, who made sure to send tons of pics and updates on how they were holding up throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Lydia, and I will definitely be using her again whenever I need a pet sitter!

Lydia was amazing! She was very responsive and accommodating. She sent me updates regularly with pictures of my dog Jackson, which made me feel super confident in knowing that he was in great hands. I would highly, highly, recommend Lydia!

(Long review but well worth it)....It was my first time using Rover recently with Della's first time stay in Lydia's home. I was nervous because I'm not from MASS and know no one here. So I was nervous to try the app. Needless to say, Lydia gave me a sense of peace and though Della gets separation anxiety, Lydia ensured Della's stay was the best. She was very attentive in Della's mannerism and behavior due to her anxiety. She comforted her really well, especially with playing Della's favorite...throwing the balls. All in all, I recommend Lydia. She is a very nice lady. I feel like I've known her a long time and just met her. Very pleasant, calm demeanor. She kept me updated daily and all throughout the day of Della's eating, drinking, playing, walks, her mannerism and many pics. She told me she enjoyed Della as well as her friend and mom. Though Lydia had two urgent family situations during Della's visit, she still kept me posted and ensured Della was taken care of. Thank you "so" much Lydia!

We don't have any shortage of wonderful things to say about Lydia! She took amazing care of our dogs, they were probably a little sad to have to come home! Lydia is knowledgeable about dog care and you can tell she really loves dogs. That, coupled with the plentiful photos and updates she sent put our minds completely at ease. We'll definitely book with Lydia again!

Information Lydia S. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know if your pet is up to dates on their shots and if they've been spayed or neutered. It would also be helpful to know if your pet has any medical conditions. I would like to know how your dog interacts with other dogs as well seeing how there is a dog park that is not too far that I could take your pup to get some exercise.
