Pet care experience

An at home experience for your dog

I am a dog lover and my family and I had our golden retriever for 13 years. Unfortunately we had to put him down in 2024 and I'm not in a position to commit to having my own dog yet due to work commitments. Dog sitting is my way of getting my dog fix! I love walking and getting out and about. I'm experienced in looking after retrievers, spaniels and labradors, but love all breeds of dog. I will happily take your dog out on lovely, long beach or countryside walks - a tired dog is a happy dog! I live in a house with my fiancé who is also a huge dog lover! We own a house with a garden and live near to a large park ideal for dog walks. Please get in touch for a reliable service and someone who will genuinely care for your dog.

Our dog seemed to have a great day with Lydia - a lovely photo of her curled up on her favourite spot, the sofa!

Thank you Lydia for looking after our pup so well, it was the first night we spent without her since we brought her home in December. Couldn't wish for a better sitter

Hardy had a lovely time and walks with Lydia. Would highly recommend and will be using again when we next go away.

Schedule

I work as a full-time teacher. I am therefore only willing to accept dogs for weekend stays unless it's during the school holidays as I wouldn't like to leave your dog on their own for long periods of time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a garden and I would care for the dogs with my fiancé who lives with me. We are both huge dog lovers!

Dogs in my care get several walks daily and lots of cuddles and play time. Countryside walks and field runs would be included in walking and caring for the dogs

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements and I will do my best to accommodate them. My preference for breeds is medium / large dogs but I will also take small dogs with pleasure.
