Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible, reliable, and loving care
Hi, we’re Lu and Clay! We live in Williamsburg with our 7-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Artemis. We couldn't imagine living in this city without the comfort and love of a dog, and we understand how important it is to have the right support for them. That is where we come in! Clay works with dogs full-time and first started pet-sitting when he was 7, caring for the dogs in his community. Lu has had animals her whole life and also spent years volunteering at animal shelters as a teenager. We both place care at the center of our relationships with dogs and value building long-term bonds. Since 2023, we have been providing boarding, housesitting, daycare, and walking services in our neighborhood. We have experience with most breeds and all ages, from newly vaccinated puppies to seniors with mobility concerns. We're comfortable administering medication and generally open to understanding your dog's unique needs. Please note: As of September 2026, Lu’s work schedule has her focused on housesitting only. Clay handles all walks, boarding, daycare, pickups and dropoffs.

Ratings and reviews
they took the best care of my boy!!!!!! sent lots of updates and pictures. it’s so clear my dog loved staying with them. :)

My dog Mochi had a wonderful time with Clay + Lu. They regularly sent photos and updates. I would not hesitate to rebook...and I'm sure Mochi would be thrilled to spend time with them again!

Lovely, communicative and helpful! Our first time working with a dog walker and it was a great experience.

Lu and Clay were amazing, so attentive sending me updates and cuddling with her, would definitely leave my baby with them again!

Always the best and so caring for my Wally!

Moose came back happy and healthy! I feel like I can truly tell when he likes his dog sitter and Moose would give his stay 5 stars. Thank you so much for the pictures of him every day!

Schedule
As of September 2026, Lu’s work schedule has her focused on housesitting only. Clay works full-time with the dogs and handles all walks, boarding, daycare, pickups and dropoffs. For dogs who are boarding with us, we follow their usual routines, which we align on before their stay. If the weather permits and the owner is comfortable with it, you can also find us at one of the multiple dog parks near our place.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We strive to be the dependable, responsive, and loving sitters that we would want to leave Artemis with. Before any booking, we like to understand the owner's full expectations and discuss the dog's needs, routine, and any quirks or preferences. We keep notes on every dog to ensure continuity of care. Generally, we stick to a few rules: - We never let dogs off-leash (except in enclosed dog parks). - We allow dogs on furniture and beds. - We don't give dogs human food and always ask about allergies. - We provide extra bowls, treats, toys, and poop bags. For walks, we are always mindful of the weather conditions and offer alternatives if we can't provide the full service, such as playing indoors. Additional notes for boarding: We live in a 3-bedroom with a terrace, which includes a fresh patch potty area. We live on the first floor up a flight of stairs. For small breeds like dachshunds, we have soft staircases in the apartment for accessing the couch and bed, and we carry them up and down the building stairs. Please note that our building has an active stairwell, so it's not the best environment for pups who are reactive to street noise or who struggle with separation anxiety. For updates, we can either message you through Rover or provide you with our phone numbers for texting or WhatsApp. You can expect lots of cute pictures of your pup and blurbs about their day.
Pets
A typical day
It’s important to us that your pet gets plenty of love in your absence. Whatever makes them feel good, whether it’s park time or cuddles, we’ll be responsive and attentive to their needs. In the past, we've taken dogs to parks, breweries, picnics, and even the first-annual Small Dog Pride Parade. We'll make sure your dog feels so cared for that they'll be sad to say goodbye to us!
