"Scratch a dog ..."

“Scratch a dog... and you’ll find a permanent job.” – Franklin P. Jones What better job than to scratch a dog? Hi, I'm Lydia. I have been an animal lover my entire life and have always indulged in learning about all aspects of their care, training, and characteristics. I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from cats and dogs to horses and birds. I love being active so having a dog on a walk or run makes it that much better. I have two dogs of my own who I wouldn't trade for the world. You’re pet will get plenty of love and attention like they are my own while you are away! I look forward to meeting your best friend!

So happy to have met Lydia! She is amazing! Great communicator, timely, and very professional. She provided wonderful care to our two labs while we were out of town! (and also went above and beyond and came to do a meet and greet in the middle of a thunderstorm!) Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.

Lydia did a great job taking care of our pup and two cats. She kept them happy and the house tidy. I highly recommend Lydia for pet sitting.

I've used Lydia a couple times to watch my dog in my home. Not only has she taken great care of my boy, she's taken great care of my house as well. She also sent me pictures while I was gone which I appreciate. I could tell my dog was happy because he barely cared to see me when I returned! She left my house in the same condition, if not better condition, as it was when I left. Highly recommend her 👍

Lydia was just who we needed! Our dogs are not just dogs to us; and she understood that. She came to speak with us 3 times before we left. We were gone one night. She was attentive to both our dogs and us. Wonderful experience, thank you Lydia!
