Full Time Sitter | Daily Dog Park

Hi there! My name is Lucas, and I’m a full-time dog sitter with a passion for providing top-quality care. I share my home with my wife Janelle, and my mother-in-law—both of whom work from home, just like me! Our dog, Naya, a 10-year-old Boxer mix, is the heart and soul of our family. We love her more than anything, and we’ll treat your pup like family, too! What sets us apart? We take the dogs in our care to the dog park every single day! Unlike most Rover sitters who offer backyard play or short walks, we believe in giving dogs plenty of exercise, socialization, and enrichment. Whether your pup loves to run, chase, or just sniff around, our daily dog park visits ensure they get the activity and fun they need. I also prioritize meet-and-greets with every client before the first stay to make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone. This allows your pup to get comfortable with me, my home, and our routine, so you can feel confident they’re in the best hands. Ten years ago, I started my dog walking business in San Francisco, where I became a certified dog walker. I built a loyal client base, caring for a daily group of 6–8 dogs and hosting overnight guests. Thanks to the love and attention I provided, many of my clients kept coming back! Now, I’ve brought my family and business to beautiful San Diego. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies to senior companions. I’m certified in animal CPR and experienced in administering medications, so you can rest assured your furry friend is in good hands. My motto? “A tired dog is a happy dog!” With daily dog park adventures, personalized care, and plenty of love, your pup will have the best time while you’re away. I’d love to welcome your dog into our home—let’s chat and set up a meet-and-greet!

As always we so appreciate being able to board Copper with Lucas! It’s a huge relief knowing Copper is in such good hands when we’re out of town and he absolutely loves going to Lucas’s.

Pets

A typical day

Our day usually begins early to ensure that our furry friends can relieve themselves first thing in the morning. Once that's taken care of, I proceed to feed the dogs. After breakfast, we head to the dog park, where they can enjoy at least an hour of playtime. Depending on the individual dog's recall abilities, we may opt for a visit to the dog beach or stick to the fenced dog park. Upon returning home, we settle down for dinner, making sure they are well-fed. As the day winds down, we embark on another leisurely walk to cap off the evening.
