Friendly & Active Pet Friend! :)
Pet care experience
I'm a polite, responsible, social and friendly animal lover! I have had dogs and cats in the home all my life growing up, and while I don't currently own a dog, I’m always around them as I dog-sit for multiple friends and family members, as well as clients. I have handled various breeds of dogs, from Jack Russell Terriers, to American Pit Bulls, to Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. I have experience with varying ages of dogs as well, from puppies younger than a year old to elderly needing medication. I am a humane society volunteer and have been since I was a kid :) Let me be the gal to take your dog outside to play! Or allow me to make sure your dog is safe and comforted in their own home while you are away.
Reviews
Lydia did a fantastic job watching our boys! It was our first time leaving them in four years and we were nervous to do it, but the pups were in great shape when we returned. Lydia cared for them like her own when two got sick while she was here, and cleaned up after their sickness. In fact, she left the place cleaner than we had! We have three high-needs pups, one of whom is big, strong, and leash-reactive, and Lydia managed them with ease and professionalism. We’ll definitely be booking her for all of our pet care needs!
Lydia has been very easy to work with and my dog loves her!
Highly recommend Lydia! She provided pictures of our doggos multiple times during our vacation. She was a great caretaker of our house too! Our instructions were followed perfectly for care of the dogs by her. Cannot say enough good things about her. One of our dogs literally keeps waking around looking for her after spending the week in her care. For sure, we will use Lydia again for our next vacation sitter. Total Pro!!
Thank you Lydia! Luna loved going to the park with you and the great walks!

Please be sure to know that I will treat your home like my own! If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, those same rules will apply with me. If your pup is used to crate training, we will keep that up, but if your dog gets to snuggle on the bed with you at night, I’ll give them all the snugs while you’re away! I’m a firm believer in leaving a place better than you found it, so I will always tidy up & you’ll come back to a clean home every time :)
Information Lydia S. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has a routine that is tried and true for them, please let me know so I can keep them comfortable in their routine while you’re gone. I also like to make sure to know which words you use for their commands so I’m speaking the language they understand. Any other needs, dietary, medications, favorite toys, etc., just let me know and I’ll make it happen!
A typical day
I love to go outside with active dogs and I absolutely do not mind staying inside and snuggling with less active dogs! I can be a total couch potato too if that’s what’s in the cards for your pup :) I love dog parks if you’ve got a social dog and the Jacksonville Trails and RoxyAnn Peak are two of my favorite spots for walks!
