Safety, trust & environment

Animals are very good at telling you what they need and are often vocal about it. I pride myself on being able to notice when something is wrong, or off.

Information Lydia T. would like to know about your pet

How active they are, how they get along with other dogs or children, what their outside style is with regards to sniffing, or if they try to eat things in the ground and what their dislikes are.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks in all the green spaces Berkeley has to offer. Depending on the animal as well, the dog park or a fun game of catch are often my go-tos.

Pet care experience

I have two cats of my own, and have been dog sitting for friends and coworkers the last ten years. I am no stranger to the quirky needs of each pet’s personality and relish the time with spent.

Lydia always has been dependable with our cat when we go on a trip. We are moving to different region but we’ll miss her detailed, genuine care for our baby. Thank you Lydia!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
