About Lydia

Hi there!

My name is Lydia and I am a 28yo based in Orakei. Growing up I have been surrounded by dogs and consider myself a keen animal lover. I have experience with a wide array of breeds at various ages. 

I primarily work from home so have the flexibility to walk your dog/s during the day. I am a frequent dog walker for my family spoodle (Archie), so if you were looking for play mates that is an option too! Please note i do not live with Archie, i can't seem to stop that appearing on my profile!


Services include

- Dog walking: typically 30-45 minutes, though this can be longer and will typically be around the Mission Bay/Bastion Point/Waterfront area. I accept no more than 2 dogs to walk at a time.

- Pet & house sitting: at the owner's home. I am respectful of owner's established routines and commands with their dog, so am always sure to follow instructions closely and carefully. I am house proud so will ensure your house is left in the same if not better condition than when you left!

- Dog sitting: at my home - please note that i only accept small dogs who are crate trained for stay at my property, otherwise i ask you to request a housesitting gig

- Pet Home Visits (eg. cat feeding): I am happy to come and spend up to an hour in the morning, hour in the evening with your pets. This can include bringing in mail, watering plants etc too. 

I will be in AKL over the Xmas/NY break and know this can be a tricky time to find help for your furry friends

I have a fairly open schedule so am more than happy to come and meet you in advance to check we are the right match for eachother. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 

Lydia

Lydia was great and it was nice that she spent some time hanging out with our cat.
