Passionate Young Pet Caretaker

Hi, I'm Lydia! I know it can be difficult choosing someone (especially a stranger!) to to help take care of your furry friends while you're away, so hopefully this quick introduction can put your mind at ease. I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know how different your pets personalities can be, and can accomadate very well with whatever breed or temperament pet you have! If you need a sitter for a pet that's not a cat or dog, I have that covered too! I have experience on Rover sitting for small animals like guinea pigs, rats and hedgehogs. Since I graduated high school, I'm at home a lot more often so I am always taking care of our pets when everyone else is out of the house. Especially our pup Tilly, who is quite the rambunctious little monster. I'll also be as accommodating as possible with any COVID-19 concerns you might have. I'm fully vaccinated and I'll keep a mask and hand sanitizer on hand if requested while I'm at your home. I can assure you your pets will always be happy and comfortable under my care. If you have any questions about a booking or are just starting out on the platform as a sitter or a customer, feel free to message!

Ollie can be quite fussy. He and Lydia hit it off right away. We would have her again!

We had an amazing experience with Lydia! She took excellent care of Atticus and followed all of our guidelines perfectly, even going above and beyond what we asked. She kept in contact with us every day and sent updates that really put our minds at ease. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly cared about making sure Atticus was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality pet care.

Lydia was very attentive to our dogs' needs and gave us frequent updates during our week away. She was great in dealing with a medical emergency for one of our dogs while we were away. I wholeheartedly recommend Lydia to watch your animals and look forward to hiring her in the future.

Lydia did a great job with a drop-in visit watching our two dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures during the visit. I strongly recommend her.
