I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally! Playing games such as shaping while using a clicker to incite positive reinforcement is something I love to do. I also love to play tug, fetch, go to parks and take long walks around the neighbourhood!

Lyra was amazing as always! I never have any concerns and am able to relax when I get a chance to go away. Thank you Lyra for taking great care of my pup!

If you go through Lyra’s reviews you will already see how I sing her praises. She’s incredible and I feel so blessed to have her watch my dogs over the past few years. She is an angel and treats our family like her own. My dogs love her and are so excited when she comes to house sit. This time, to no fault of Lyra’s, there was a life threatening medical emergency for one of my dogs. We were unfortunately not reachable at the time and she immediately took her to the vet which saved my dog’s life. Our pets could not be in better hands and we love this woman with all of my heart. 💜💜

Lyra is awesome with our two big crazy dogs. They require a ton of extra work and a great deal of knowledge and patience. She does a ton of training with them, and sends lots of pictures and updates. We always come back to them tired and happy, and we look forward to booking with her again!
