About Lydia

🐶 An avid dog lover who understands the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. Working for 4 years in a large rehoming centre for dogs where I provide rehabilitation, care and training until they are ready for their new homes. I am trustworthy, reliable, and passionate, dedicated to delivering the highest level of care and affection for your four-legged family members.

📍Based in Swords but can cater to North County Dublin areas including Malahide, Portmarnock, Howth, Donabate.

🚶‍♀️ Rain or shine, I specialise in tailored dog walks (1hr), ensuring that each outing suits your pup's individual needs, energy level, and personality. From leisurely strolls around the neighborhood to invigorating walks in nearby parks. Training can also be provided during the walk if your dog has specific needs: reactivity, pulling on lead, poor recall etc.

🏡 I also offer professional house sitting services, providing a loving and nurturing environment for your pup while you're away. I will ensure to follow your instructions meticulously, maintaining your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any necessary medication. Price includes 1 walk a day. At the moment, I am unavailable to take dogs into my own home.

🐾 Your dog's safety and happiness are paramount. I have experience with dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I am skilled in reading and understanding behaviour and body language. I have a particular interest in nervous or worried dogs and I will take the time to build up their confidence with people and the world.

📷 I understands how much you miss your pet while you're away, which is why I provide regular updates and photos of your dog's activities and adventures. You'll have peace of mind knowing that your furry friend is in loving hands and enjoying their time to the fullest. 🤗

Lydia is fantastic with animals - such a natural- Jessie took to her immediately and was so happy to hang out with her. She completely understood Jessie's quirks / nervousness and asked all the right questions. Loved receiving the pics and reassurance while we were out. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be looking to book her again.
