About Lydia

Introduction:

Hello, Paw friends! I am Lydia and hope to be your trusted pet sitter for your beloved pet. I have ran my own home-based pet services full time in Malaysia for 3 years, I am easing my transition into Australia with this skillset while I embark on my time here in Melbourne. I adore being with new furry friends as it's always intriguing to interact with their various personalities, having responsibility over their well-being brings out my caring nature.

Experience:

Rest assured, your pets will be treated with care from the heart. I am driven by kindness and empathy, while my work ethic upholds integrity and responsibility. I believe gaining trust from the pet pawrent is as important as gaining it from the pet. I hope to understand your needs of the entire pet family and cater my services accordingly

The majority of my pet care experience has been cultivated over adapting two farm dogs to urban living, and caring for them for up to a year. I have had long term pet sitting experience for large breeds (eg. pitbull, caucasian shepherd), post-operation boarding care for both cats and dogs, and elderly/differently-abled pets. Apart from handling basic care, my pet sitting experience has covered acclimating rescued dogs and cats to domestic living, assisting in vet visitations, and managing large breeds. I have also handled guinea pigs and parrots. 

Why I stand out:

Meeting new pets is like meeting new friends, I love bonding with animals and learning about their behavior. It's a new challenge with every unique pet and working on gaining their trust in caring for them is purely wholesome to me. On easy-going days, I enjoy crafting and upcycling materials - I have made DIY pet toys/accessories and even sewn up a complete pee band from scratch! If there is a problem, I am proactive and solution-focused in resolving it.

Lydia was great looking after my cat while away on holidays. Sending frequent updates I know he was in good hands. Thank you again!

Lydia is such a professional! She is reliable and a great communicator. She checked in on our senior dog Dorothy and administered medication without any issues. She also provided regular updates which put my mind at rest. I know Dorothy is in good hands with Lydia and I would definitely book her again!😄🐾🐾
