“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”


“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

About: Hi there! I’m a Physician Assistant who just moved to the city to start an exciting new chapter in my career—and I’m looking to fill my free time with some fun, meaningful moments caring for animals! I bring over 20 years of experience with cats and 14 years with dogs, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to sweet, slow-moving seniors. The largest dog I’ve looked after weighed around 60 pounds, and I’m comfortable with everything from basic routines to special care needs. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how deeply animals enrich our lives. With my medical background, I offer a level of attentiveness and reliability that sets me apart. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or someone who can spot the little things others might miss, I'm here to help. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the care, companionship, and fun they deserve while you're away! I’m currently waiting for my Physician Assistant job to complete my onboarding paperwork (takes several months unfortunately). Looking to work with animals until the end of summer which is likely when I will start my new position at a local Brooklyn Hospital! Your pets safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment, where they can feel secure and relaxed whether we’re on a walk, at your home, or spending time together during the day. I take the time to get to know your pets, unique needs, teens, and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closer to ensure consistency care. I believe an open communication, regular updates, and treating every animal with the same respect and compassion I’d want for my own!
