Hi, I'm Lydia! I grew up in Columbus, Ohio with several dogs always in the house. My current dog, Abu, is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and the sweetest boy. I have been dog sitting and walking for many years and really enjoy any time that I get to spend around dogs. I have experience with breeds ranging from Schnauzers and Shitzus to Akitas and German Shepards. I know that every dog is unique and am dedicated to catering to each one's individual needs and keeping your pets happy and healthy!
