Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to stick to your pet’s typical routine. Whether it’s playing in the yard, leashed potty breaks, or a walk in the park, we will have a fabulous time! I have an energetic escape artist husky, so I understand the importance of being vigilant and keeping your pet entertained and mentally stimulated in and out of your home. Whatever makes you feel the most comfortable sounds great to me! Special note for walks: I am more than happy to take your pup on a walk! To ensure the most safety for your dog and myself, I request that any new walking clients either take a short walk with us at the meet and greet or are home for the first walk so your pup can get used to leaving your home with me!

Information Lydia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any needs or behaviors I need to keep track of! I can work with some levels of reactivity as long as I am aware of the behavior and their triggers. I want to make sure your pet is safe and happy and I would love to work with you on how best to accomplish that!

A typical day

I strive to make sure your pet has the most fun possible!! We can play with their favorite toys, take a walk around your neighborhood, or get lots of pets, whatever they prefer!

Pet care experience

I grew up with at least one dog and one cat at all times, so I’m definitely an animal person! I have been pet sitting for the last 6 years, and I would love to care for your pets too! I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes with and without medical needs, as well as lizards, and I am happy to work with you to give your pet the best possible care. I can’t wait to meet your furbabies!

Lydia is so awesome with our pets! I was surprised when she said my cat opened up super quick he usually runs and hides! Also the ferrets and the pictures we got from her.. just excellent. Definitely recommend Lydia for all your animal needs!
