Flexible Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
PLEASE NOTE: 1) Due to my full time job, I am only available for short-stint booking requests, not ongoing/weekly gigs. 2) I require 3 days advance notice so that I can accommodate your booking into my schedule. I was always called upon by my neighbors to take care of their pets (usually dogs and cats) whenever they went away for long vacations or short weekend getaways. My duties normally involved walking pets, feeding them, letting them out for potty breaks or changing litter boxes, giving them medication, and other odds-and-ends around the house such as cleaning or watering plants.
Reviews
Lydia was wonderful with our black lab! She communicated with us every day and it was so nice knowing our dog and house were being taken care of so well while we were gone for 8 days.
This is the second time we've used Lydia to stay with our goofy cats and she's knocked it out of the park each time. She even got out most standoffish cat to play! Will use her again and again!
Lydia was amazing. She went above and beyond to give my two fraidy cats a loving human presence in the house even if they only eyed her from afar. Because of their goofiness, I also received the most hilarous sighting reports and pics texted to me throughout the time I was away. Lydia was very caring and concentious to make sure she understood their quirks and routine to make their time with her the best it could be. Definitely will rebook!
Lydia provided excellent services, including house sitting, taking care of Dax, and bringing in packages! She was the utmost professional dog sitter I’ve had. She paid close attention to detail, communicated and asked lots of good questions. She sent me photos and updates and left my home spotless. I highly recommend her! Thanks Lydia

Safety, trust & environment
I did not grow up with pets myself, but because my neighbors knew me as trustworthy and responsible, I was asked frequently to care for their pets.
Information Lydia W. would like to know about your pet
First I need to know if your pet has any medications that need to given with their meals (I am not experienced with injected medications). Then I need to know if they get along with other pets, so that if I take them on a walk or to a local park, I can anticipate their behavior. If your pet has any other special needs worth noting, that’s also important information to me as well.
A typical day
I personally love being outside, so if your dog likes that as well, we will get along just fine! I normally like to do neighborhood walks, but if you are comfortable with your dog being unleashed in an enclosed area to play with a ball or a stick, I’m more than happy to engage in that activity.

Availability
I am currently available for short-stint booking requests, not ongoing/weekly gigs. I just started my new job, so my schedule will reflect a normal 8-4pm job. However, I am open to working something out, so please still feel free to reach out :)
