The best care for our best friends

Pet care experience

My name is Lydia and I currently attend UAF. I’ve always had a love for pets, and from the time I was a freshman in high school I’ve been housesitting and taking care of pets for people in and around Fairbanks while they’re away. I will treat your pets like my own and respect your home as if it was mine. If you’re planning a trip or have to leave all of a sudden and you’re looking for a sitter, look no further. Just know that your home and or your pet will be in good hands and you can relax knowing everything will be at ease while you’re away and when you return, Your little furry friend and I will have the best of times together

Overall, I was disappointed with Lydia's house-sitting/dog care. She was several hours late for the meet & greet we scheduled because she was attending another event. She communicated with me only when I ask questions, if she had a question, or if she was leaving (so I could check on the dog via pet camera). I did not receive any photo updates as requested in my booking. I was also not told about a diarrhea incident that my dog had in his kennel, nor the fact that his blanket (and subsequently his favorite toy that was in the blanket) was thrown away instead of being washed, nor that he broke his kennel water bottle holder and had no water when in his kennel. I learned all of this only after I arrived home and began noticing things and asking about them. My dog was in no way harmed by her care, and I do not believe he was neglected. She was even kind enough to offer and provide me a ride to the airport when she first began the house-sitting/dog care. However, the poor communication would be the primary reason I would not book with Lydia again.

Lydia was excellent! Our Daisy was well taken care of and our home was just as we left it. We are very happy.

Lydia did a great job with my dogs and watching the house. I have one older pup that needs a little extra care and one younger who is wild and Lydia kept them both happy. When we got home the house was spotless and cleaner than we had left it. I couldn't recommend her more! She even stayed later than she needed to the last day to keep the dogs company until we got home.
