Lydia

Hello, my name is Lydia. I have recently moved up from London and I am thoroughly enjoying the fresh air and open spaces up here! When I was living in London I was a dogwalker and petsitter for friends and the local community. I love the outdoors and so I am looking forward to being able to take dogs on longer walks in areas that aren't surrounded by tall buildings! My dog walks are usually one 45minute long walk, but longer / shorter / more frequent walks can be arranged dependant on the dogs needs.

I am passionate about all animals, (except perhaps a little less keen on spiders...) and I'd like to be able to use this love of animals to help out others. I currently work most days from home, spending the day with my cat and any other animal that I'm looking after that day. I also have a car allowing me to be flexible with times and picking up/dropping off if need be.

I have a little boy tabby cat who is called Maui, and so I understand that your pet is not just a "pet" but also a part of the family. I will make sure that under my care your animals will get lots of love and attention (aswell as the essentials!). Maui is my absolute world and I struggle leaving him with without knowing how he's doing, and so I totally get it! If you need someone to send regular updates and photos, I'm your gal!

With regards to my house, I live with Maui (my cat) in a three bedroom house. If I am looking after a guest pet, I will keep them with me. If I am out in the garden they can come too if they like - I have a secure fully fenced back garden as can be seen in the photos. If the weather isn't good I usually reside in the lounge (pictured with Maui on the windowsill!) I have bedrooms upstairs that I will allow the guest pets to go in if they prefer a different room.

Although most of my experience is with cats dogs and rabbits, I am able to look after any kind of other animals! From mice, to lizards, to birds - I'm happy to look after them all!

I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones :)
