Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets since I was 12! Friends and neighbors have relied on me to petsit, and my family has owned dogs or cats (and others!) longer than I can remember. I love making friends with new pets and helping them have the fun, exercise, and companionship they need while you're away :)

Lydia was fantastic with communication. It was our first time using a rover, and she was super sweet and caring. Even though Duke, our new pup, was having some trouble adjusting, Lydia kept us in the loop and kept us informed.

Lydia and her housemates took great care of our Smalls!! She was professional and kind. Would use again.

Lydia was fantastic. She updated me every day with texts and pictures of my furry babies. During our vacation she asked if there was anything else she could do to help out around the house. Upon arriving at home. I was amazed how clean and tidy it was. I would most definitely hire her again!

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.
