About Lydia

Dear pet parents,

are you looking for a reliable animal lover who will walk your dog or take care of your pet in your absence, treating it as good as if it was their own? I've been there, too, and I am happy to offer you what I would have loved to have for my dog back then.

As I am a freelancer, I can offer a great flexibility. I grew up in Germany, where I had dogs (Collies), budgies, guinea pigs and fish. With my last dog, I did agility and obedience training with positive reinforcement methods, and I enjoyed long walks, playing and cuddling with him even more. 

After my Bachelor studies, I went travelling and volunteered in about 30 places around the world, which is why I am also experienced with horses, sheep, cows, donkeys, pigs, goats, chickens and more.  

I have returned to various of those places to house- and pet-sit for up to 3 weeks, so that I know what it is like to adapt to the schedule and habits your pet is used to.
Similarly, I am happy to integrate things you are working on with your dog into walks or play time (like sitting when waiting to cross a street, little tricks, ...). However, I will of course not replace a professional dog trainer.

Please note that I am happy to travel to remote places for house and pet sitting, but I'm only able to do daily visits etc. within cycling distance (Salthill and Galway City).
As I live with someone who is allergic to dog hair, I am unfortunately not in a position to look after dogs/cats at my own place.

Feel free to get in touch regarding any questions you might have or if you and your pet would like to get to know me. I look forward to meeting you.
