About: As a military spouse and dedicated dog mom, I bring reliability, adaptability, and a deep love for animals to every pet I care for. My professional nursing background has equipped me with exceptional attention to detail, patience, and the ability to handle special needs, such as senior pet care or administering medications. Whether your furry friend is a playful puppy or a calm senior, I provide tailored care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in your absence. Plus, my experience with pets of all temperaments means I can handle a variety of personalities with ease! My life pretty much revolves around wagging tails and happy paws! Caring for pets is what I love most, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or sneaking in some belly rubs. My schedule is flexible, as I work from home so I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s chasing balls, cuddling on the couch, or sticking to their routine, I’ve got it covered! When I care for pets in your home, I treat them (and your space!) like my own. I stick to their usual routine, give them lots of attention, and make sure they’re happy and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, mealtime, or just hanging out, your pet will get all the love and care they need!
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember, with my favorite being dogs. I have always grown up with a dog in my family home and now I have my own. Bella is a 12-year-old chihuahua/Pug mix. She absolutely adores being around other dogs, especially ones who will chase her and play. Bella is my "old Lady", she is not too high energy, so she also enjoys lounging around being tucked away where she is most warm. So, you would never have to worry about your dog being in an unsafe or overly stimulated environment. In addition, I do have three children in the home who are auspicious dog lovers. My oldest daughters are 16 & 15 and I also have a fearless 6-year-old in the home who love snuggles, tug-a-war and belly rubs. although none of my children have a fear of animals, I am also very vigilant and never leave them unsupervised around any pup who is not ours to keep. Your fur-baby would be loved on every second of the day, well supervised and well-cared for while you are away. My job is to make sure you are worry-free while away from your fur-baby. I will keep in informed throughout the day (should you choose) I will send pictures and give frequent updates. If you are anything like me, then your pet is not just an animal, they are our children, our family and I want you know they are in great hands/paws. I currently work from home. I leave out some mornings around 8:05am and return roughly around 8:15am as my daughter’s school is close to home. My workstation is set up in the living room, so I am always able to keep a keen eye on your dog. My work-from-home position also allows for daily walks, love and attention. I currently reside in a townhome I have a large courtyard where the dogs can run. I am also close by a large dog park where I frequent with Bella. I live in a dog friendly community, so dog walking is welcome.

Luzvin U.Star Sitter
“I recently had the pleasure of having Lucy watch my cat, Canela, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Lucy was incredibly professional and attentive. She took the time to meet Canela before my trip to ensure they were comfortable with each other, which really put my mind at ease. Lucy provided regular updates and photos, showing how much fun Canela was having. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my pet, as Canela was happy and relaxed when I returned home. Lucy went above and beyond by keeping Canela's environment clean and even playing with her daily. I highly recommend Lucy as a pet sitter! Her kindness, reliability, and love for animals truly shine through. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet-sitting needs!”
