About Lydia S.

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for a dog with anxiety has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding in creating a safe and comforting environment. At home, I ensure my anxious dog feels secure by maintaining a predictable routine, providing a quiet space to retreat when overwhelmed, and using calming techniques such as soothing music, gentle reassurance, and interactive toys. These experiences have helped me develop a deep empathy for dogs with unique needs, which I apply when caring for other people’s pets. I am attentive to each dog’s behavior, ensuring they feel relaxed and comfortable, whether through structured activities, gentle walks, or simply offering a calming presence. My goal is always to prioritize their emotional and physical well-being.

Information Lydia S. would like to know about your pet
As a pet sitter, it’s essential to communicate with pet owners about their pet’s unique needs, especially when it comes to their care and well-being. I ensure that I understand and address key aspects such as feeding schedules, exercise requirements, grooming routines, and any special health or behavioral considerations. For example, it’s important to know if the pet has specific dietary restrictions, requires medication, or prefers a certain type of activity. Open communication allows me to provide consistent care that aligns with the owner’s routine, ensuring the pet feels secure and happy in their absence. By sharing updates and being attentive to the pet’s needs, I build trust and confidence in my ability to care for their beloved animal.
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I love keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged with fun activities tailored to their personality and energy levels. For an active dog, I’ll plan daily walks or jogs around the neighborhood, interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, and games like fetch or tug-of-war to burn off energy. For more curious or laid-back pups, I’ll introduce stimulating activities like puzzle toys, training exercises to reinforce commands, or leisurely sniffing walks to explore new scents. No matter the activity, my goal is to ensure your dog feels loved, entertained, and well cared for during our time together.

Pet care experience
As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a strong background in providing attentive care to animals, I bring years of hands-on experience, and am committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My professionalism, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs make me an ideal candidate to provide top-notch pet sitting services. My background goes into a passion of taking care of stray dogs since I was 16, working in shelters and ASPCA during my high school education and walked and sat dogs in busy environments big such as NYC and LA to quiet subsurban neighborhoods, I can confidently say your pet is in good hands.

Reviews
Lydia was a last minute replacement sitter for my Bengal cat Kamilah. I am very glad she agreed to fit us into her schedule. Lydia met Kamilah and they seemed to have a rapport right from the start. Lydia was timely, descriptive, and sent many photos in her updates. I have to say I believe my girl had a great time with Lydia. I look forward to booking with her again!
Lydia was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Prince and Oakley while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Our cat is diabetic and was also dealing with a UTI at the time, so he needed insulin and medications on a strict schedule. Lydia made sure he received everything on time and kept us updated throughout our trip. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and treats them like they’re her own. Coming home to happy, healthy pets meant everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking Lydia again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable! ⭐🐾
Lydia was great! She took wonderful care of our dog Bodie. I would highly recommend her.
Lydia is awesome! She sends updates with fur baby photos. Always takes good care of them. 🐶🐱And leaves the house tidy when she leaves. ❤️
