About Lydia

I’ve worked with all sorts of animals over the years (in one way or another!) from zoo critters to rescue dogs in the US.

I offer friendly, reliable dog walks & home visits that are tailored to your pet’s needs (and quirks!). Fully insured, DBS checked, and proudly animal-obsessed, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family — which usually means plenty of cuddles, play, and a cheeky treat (if allowed, of course).

I’m currently studying L3 Small Animal Care to make sure your pets get the best care they deserve - because there’s always more to learn when you love animals.

I've spent time working with Hero Dog Rescue, a dedicated dog rescue charity based in Georgia, USA - founded by my family across the pond. My time with the rescue gave me amazing hands-on experience with dogs of all backgrounds, from those who were abandoned or neglected to those who needed extra support due to medical or behavioural challenges.

As a foster carer, I have personally helped care for a large number of rescue dogs, sometimes having up to 15 dogs in our home at once! This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to meet the individual needs of each dog, whether that means building trust with a nervous pup, providing structure for an energetic dog, or offering gentle care to an elderly or unwell pet.

If you're looking for someone gentle, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about pets, I’d love to help!
