Animal lover and part time Vet tech

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats almost my entire life and have been a lover and advocate of all animals just as long. I’ve based my career around animals, starting from as far back as elementary school. I have a wild amount of patience and take generous care to each pet. Everyone needs their own special attention :)

Lydia is always great with my two energetic pitties. They love having her for drop ins /walks. I have used her services several times and she is one of my first choices.

Lydia does such a great job with my boys. They love hanging out with her. She does a great job at communicating and sending pictures.

We are so happy to have connected with Lydia to care for our dog and cat. Lydia is caring, thoughtful, experienced, thorough, and our often wary pets warmed up to her right away! She stayed at our house for a few nights with the pets and took great care in our home as well. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

You know your dog or cat best, so I will follow any instructions you have for me in regards to letting them outside, walking, or if they need to be crated.

Information Lydia V. would like to know about your pet

We’ll talk about all of your dogs needs and concerns. It’s important to run through all of your dogs routine, so I do not get anything wrong while you’re gone on a trip or just out for the day.

A typical day

I don’t mind playing fetch, tug of war, or a long walk. How ever your dog likes to play. As they say, a good dog is a tired dog!
