About Lydia S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and creating a calm, low-stress presence, and I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible in the home so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
Information Lydia S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, behavioral tendencies (such as reactivity or anxiety), or special routines so I can care for your pet in the safest and most consistent way possible.
A typical day
My days are based entirely on your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure! For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level, whether that’s an active walk, a gentle stroll, or quiet time and affection.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting as a teenager when I began pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, and I’ve loved it ever since. My primary experience is caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle routine. I treat every dog and cat in my care like they’re my own, focusing on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, enrichment, structured routines, or quiet companionship. I also have experience administering oral medications and injections when needed. I have additional hands-on experience with small pets and other animals, including birds and reptiles, which has strengthened my overall understanding of animal behavior and care. No matter the pet, I provide reliable, attentive care so they feel secure and well cared for in your absence.

Reviews

Lydia was wonderful! She was super sweet and she did great with my dog Stella. She was very good with communicating, sending photos and updates. I could tell she loved taking care of my dog and she takes caring for animals seriously. I would recommend Lydia!


Lydia was great with our cats! Would hire again for sure.



Lydia did a great job with my pets! She followed all directions with medications and reached out when a pet wasn't eating well. All went well!

Lydia was wonderful! Would definitely love to have her back again :)
