A typical day

I would love to take your dog on walks, and hikes if that is ok with the parent! I'm a fairly avid hiker, but usually only go for about a 5 mile (roundtrip) trek when I venture out so it wouldn't be too much for me or the pup.

Must love dogs

Pet care experience

I love dogs; I'm that person that gets really excited and always tries to pet every dog I encounter in life. So I perceive this as a highly enjoyable and also profitable opportunity for myself. I've had dogs almost my entire life, and have been taking care of them about that long. I currently just have one dog, a little white terrier mix I found on the side of the road in Maryville, named Ma-tilt-ta(Tilts). I recently lost my beloved girl, Chloe, a 10-year-old lab pit mix fairly recently, so I'm missing having another pup around the house. Since I'm not quite ready to commit to another furbabe for myself just yet I would love to get some extra quality fluffer time until I make the plunge! It breaks my heart to see an animal cooped up inside for too long so I do my best to accommodate to the fact that dogs need to go out, in my opinion, every 4-5 hours. Let me love your dog when you aren't able to. About me: I am a recent college graduate on a full-time job hunt, with reliable transportation to get wherever I need to go. I have a couple part time jobs, but they are all pretty flexible so I have a pretty open availability until I find something more full time.

Lydia is wonderful with animals, she loves them all, especially dogs. She will treat your pet like it is her own and give them so much care and attention. She often watches our friends' pets and everyone feels extremely comfortable with her as a sitter. Having two dogs of her own, she is so knowledgable about care and behavior. Recently, I was trying to give a friend's dog medicine in peanut butter but it wasn't working. Lydia calmed the puppy down and administered the medicine, she's basically a dog whisperer! She has so much patience and so much love to give your pet! Lydia's responsible and caring personality make her a reliable, fabulous pet sitter.
