Information Lydia W. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds and all shapes and all sizes. Especially pit bulls! (for transparency, equal parts cat-lover; so would love to meet your cats too!)

A typical day

I'm trying to run some every day. If anyone has a pup with some unbridled energy, looking for a part time BLVD running partner! Long leisurely walks around the east side are my fave though :)

Lydia W.'s Neighborhood

Animal for animals.

Pet care experience

I have almost always had animals in my life. When I moved to New York City for college and work, I often walked dogs there for a little extra money, just to get my dog time in. Since then I've owned and fostered MANY dogs (and a variety of other animals.) Comfortable with all breeds, and multiple dogs. Senior and special needs too! I am a web designer and work remotely from home, and on my own hours. Able to accomodate regular clients/daily walks/check-ins/homestays. I'm very energetic and love high energy pups that need to get some more miles in! I have an 8 year old rescue spaniel named Webster. I am fond of all animals, however, and do households with multiple pets, too! I work as web designer on my own schedule. Your pets are my first priority because they can be. Very flexible schedule, holidays and weekends etc I have a quiet home with a fenced in yard and can board a limited number of dogs a time. Dogs under my care get anything from around the clock med care to daily runs to socialization.

Lydia is just wonderful!! Dodi was immediately comfortable with her and she sent consistent updates and photos. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!

Lydia is, quite simply, outstanding. Our pup received the very best care while we were away, and we loved the photo updates Lydia shared with us daily. Gomez the black lab is looking very forward to his next stay at Camp Lydia!

She walks the dog and …. Even saves your neighbor when your neighbor falls down! She’s amazing!

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.
