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 the best pet sitter I've ever had - we are always so relaxed when she sits our poochies. They love her and she loves them and she keeps in great touch with us with lots of pics and we can relax knowing they are in great hands. We have one sick aged dog (the other also aged but not sick) and I don't worry when we are gone. They have a great time with her!

Lydia did an incredible job caring for jam! We were so nervous leaving our little girl for 6 days but Lydia took such good care of her that we were instantly put at ease after one night. She followed directions perfectly and gave us so many updates and photos of our pup! She never left jam for more than an hour because she knew jam hated being alone. We’re so grateful. She even brought some special toys for jam and let her keep one!

Lydia could not have been a better pet sitter while we were away for Christmas. She was prompt, responsive, and so helpful. She brought catnip for our cats which was a great hit, and the house was exactly as we left it. Our cats seemed happy and calm when we returned. She sent tons of pictures, and even left a sweet holiday card with two of the pictures of our cats printed out. She also offered to take out our trash barrels on trash night and took them back in the next day, which was much appreciated because we completely forgot to plan for that when we went away. I cannot recommend Lydia enough! We will 100% rebook.

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 :)
