Fun full-time sitter w/big yard! :)

Please see gallery for photos of the inside space! There are 3 ROOMS for your pet to hang out in! ☺️ Hello! My name is Lydia. I hope that I get the chance to spend time with your canine loved ones! I fully understand that they are FAMILY. ♥️ I am responsible and grounded. Spending time with animals is a necessity for me. Can’t wait to include your pets into my life! :) Gentle Reminders and Policies: - Please be accurate with your drop off and pick up time frame and keep the window at 2 hours for each (maximum). - "PICK UP" Late Fees: I have one 1 hour grace period. A $15 late fee will be applied if you are one hour late after your pick time frame. (For example: If are scheduled for pick up between 8:00am - 10:00am, and you arrive at or after 11:00am, a $15 late fee will be applied.) - Extended Care: If you are at least two hours late after your pick up time frame, an extended care fee will be applied (which is an additional 50% of your nightly fee). - I do NOT provide pick up or drop off transportation. - Holiday Rates are $85 per night. I do have a black tuxedo cat, Kovu (he’s in the photos). He lives with my family and I in a house with many rooms— so while I spend time with your dog, Kovu won’t be left alone.

Lydia did a great job in looking after our pet dog Bo for a week when we were away. She sent me constant updates without me ever having to ask for it. And, the one thing that stood out was that the entire time we felt that Lydia was genuinely fond of our puppy & treated him like family - that meant a lot to us. Would definitely recommend!

Lydia is great - she sends frequent updates and Evie always seems to be enjoying herself. Evie was excited to be dropped off and happy when picked up so that's always a great sign!

Lydia is amazing!!! Bear loves her so much. He has a hard time eating with other people and he ate very meal with her which was the best indication that he feels comfortable and safe. Highly recommend!

Lydia was great with Bruno. She kept in almost constant contact with me by sending photos and videos of Bruno. Will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

The house: - I have added pictures of the inside space where your pet will be primary staying. SEE PHOTOS! :) - I live in a very spacious house. There is plenty of room for your dog to explore (and endless windows to look out of— closed of course)! Separation: - Need your dog to be separated from my cat? Easy! I can make sure that their paths don’t cross. Medication: - My only experience with giving medicine to dogs has been through pills. For example, owners will instruct me to put pills in peanut butter or treats. I’ve never given a shot before.

Pets

A typical day

Exercising: - Plenty of room to run in and outside the house. I have a spacious yard (majority of yard is gated). - I will also take them on walks around the neighborhood to get a change of scenery (for longer stays). - I’ll have some toys/balls just in case you forget yours! :)

Please be super detailed about your dogs personality/they’re likes/dislikes. I always provide a short questionnaire at my meet and greets. It is important that they are trained or are cooperative enough to follow my lead. It is also important that you bring certain supplies to ensure a comfortable stay for them.
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.
