Pet care experience

Here to treat your pets like my own

My name is Lydia and I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve always lived in the country around Bluffton, Ohio and have had many pets! I wholeheartedly love all animals and am very experienced in taking care of different kinds of pets, especially dogs and cats. Im able to travel within a reasonable distance and can be pretty flexible with my AM work schedule! Prices are as shown unless your pet needs extra/unique care so we can discuss and I will charge accordingly.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Some people say my pets are spoiled…but that’s a good thing, right? I currently have 2 dogs who are loved dearly and get let out often to play. They’re also allowed on furniture and to occasionally sleep with us because they’re apart of the family! I have 2 indoor cats and a few barn cats who stick close by.

Thank you Lydia for watching Peaches I’m sure she enjoyed her stay very much. She slept the entire day after she got home. Thanks again. Shawn & Kerry

House Sitting • Sep 29, 2024

Lydia was great caring for our 8.5 year old chocolate lab Ally. She stayed overnight at our place and immediately became a best friend to Ally. Ally doesn’t allow anyone personal space, however Lydia didn’t mind at all. Lydia went above and beyond as windy weather was blowing our patio furniture cushions were blowing away and she secured the cushions and hanging baskets for us. We will absolutely have Lydia care for our energetic geriatric Ally in the near future.

Schedule

I’m currently working a part-time, first shift job (6am-2pm) in the healthcare field. I have every other weekend off so I will possibly be able to work with you depending on the weekends/hours that are needed. Other than that, during the week I’m free most days! House sitting: May or may not work depending on my child’s schedule, unless I’d be able to bring him with me. ( pets kid friendly?)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lydia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d like to be aware of any special diets/needs or if there is a strict schedule you’d like me to follow! I’d also like to be aware of any medical conditions that occurs frequently that could possibly happen while in my care such as seizures etc. that way I’m prepared.
