A typical drop in consists of introductions where I may get on the ground and allow your pet to come to me, followed by basic care per your instructions such as feeding or potty breaks, and play time.

Pet care experience

I'm a pet person with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I've raised two litters of kittens, and have done remedial training with dogs with learned negative behaviors. I'm all about positive reinforcement, consistency, and celebrating the tiny victories with praise and lots of love ❤️ I'm comfortable administering care per your instructions for some special needs pets.

Lydia is awesome. Super reliable and accommodating. Just helped me out with only one-day notice. And my cats like her, which is saying a lot. I’ve hired Lydia multiple times and will continue to so.

This is my second time booking with Lydia and I can trust her to keep my cats happy! She is very responsive and gets back to me very quickly. Each day, there were lots of photos of my cats eating and playing. I came home to happy and healthy cats!

This is the second time Ive had Lydia and she continues to be fantastic. She sends pictures everyday, she sent some videos and she is very good either them. She is very professional and I have already rebooked her for my trip next month. I highly recommend her. She is fantastic.

Lydia was a life saver! She stepped in with almost no notice and made time to come and check in on my pups. Awesome communication and she arrived right on time, followed the instructions easily and without issue and fed them, played with them, loved on them and left them reassured and happy. I’d hire her again in an instant and don’t hesitate on recommending her to everyone and anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you so much, 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.
