Highlights
Pet care experience
Local mom - reliable and kind
I grew up with a dog who lived 15 years and I adored him. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends and steadily built dog walking and house sitting opportunities by word of mouth. I’m looking forward to meeting even more for fur friends!

Lydia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Lydia was very sweet with my anxious dogs. They were immediately drawn to her. I know she was attentive in her care with them because they were calm upon our return. I enjoyed the frequent updates and pictures.
Lydia was so great with Charlie! I will deff book her again!!
Lydia was amazing! She gave us detailed updates and pictures of our cat. She was punctual and responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend!
I recommend Lydia with immense appreciation and enthusiasm. I’m so grateful to have found her to be with my dog when my family is away. Lydia clearly loves animals and they love her too. My dog seemed comfortable from the moment they met. Lydia treated my dog like her own and really got to know her. She maintained all of my dog's routines—walks, snuggles, food, sleep. It was so reassuring knowing that my dog was being so well taken care of and that all her needs were being met. Communication with Lydia was smooth before, during, and after my family's time away. When my dog sees Lydia now she gets SO EXCITED; her tail cannot stop wagging and her butt cannot stop wiggling. Lydia will be my go-to dog sitter forevermore :)
Lydia is fantastic! She is not only a kind and caring person, but she is great with animals. My dog can be "particular", but she always loves when Lydia comes to take care of her. And Lydia always respects my specific instructions (e.g., my dog cannot be off leash even in a fenced backyard), unlike other dog walker/caretakers I have had in the past.
If you are looking for a reliable, loving individual to care for your fur babies, look no further. Lydia is truly the perfect individual for the job; she's honest, trustworthy, dependable, and incredibly caring. We are so fortunate to have her and are certain you will feel the same.
