Pet care IS my routine. Not only do I take care of my 3 dogs and my roommates 1 dog all day, I also take care of my clients dogs through out the day as if they were my own. I do most of my work online so it is not hard to work from anywhere I may be.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible in the absence of their favorite humans (you). I always treat my clients and their fur babies with respect and care.

Information Luca O. would like to know about your pet

Before I sit your pet I'd appreciate it if you would let me know what their favorite activities, snacks, toys, and napping spots are. I'd also like to know of any medical issues, disabilities, or special information about your pets.

A typical day

I enjoy taking the dogs for 15-30 minute walks, bringing them to dog parks (if allowed), playing fetch, if the mood strikes me maybe a run. Don't worry I'll always make sure your pup is well hydrated and safe under my care.

Pet care experience

(Prices are negotiable based on individual circumstances) I've been working with dogs since 2022, and grew up with dogs since I was 5 or 6. I have a doggy cook book and enjoy making my dogs, and clients dogs meals with real ingredients (with permission), if you'd like to know more about that send me a message and I can let you look through the cook book. I've cared for dogs of all ages, even from the moment they were born at one of my previous occupations and understand the struggles of older dogs who may need help moving around, to puppies who can only eat soft food, to a 3yr old pup with an amputated leg. I have a soft spot for the dogs that tend to be a little awkward or considered scary, so please dont hesitate to reach out. I trained my doggo Melo since she was a pup and even trained her out of barrier reactivity. We are now working on guard dog training, following a K-9 Protection book specializing in her breed. My partner is an AKC certified trainer who trained their own PSA pittie, we are always looking to help out anyway we can if you have questions or need training.

Luca took care of our dogs and house for a full week, and we could not have asked for a better first experience with an in-home pet sitter. We were especially nervous because our newer dog is extremely timid around new people, but Luca was incredibly patient and took the time to build trust with her before we left. That effort made us feel so much more comfortable going into the trip. Right before we left, our older dog also started having stomach issues and needed a specialized multi-step diet. Luca followed all of the instructions carefully, kept us updated every day on how she was doing (including stool updates), and handled both outdoor cleanup and a few indoor accidents without complaint. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs. It was obvious our pets were comfortable and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Luca again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.

Luca did a great job pet sitting for us. He followed our directions, took great care of the house and was very caring with our 2 dogs. We appreciated that he sent pictures and updates about how our pups were doing. He watered plants and walked the dogs too. We will use Luca again.

Luca did a great job with my dogs! I felt extremely comfortable with him taking care of them and staying in the house. He sent pictures and communicated very well. Also, he was very accommodating and understanding when I had to cut my trip short due to an injury. I’ll definitely work with Luca again, particularly walking the dogs on my work days.
