Availability
By day I am spending time with my own pup, and working on projects in my garage for my small jewelry business. By night I manage a few capital hill bars Thursday-Sunday (6pm-2or3am). My daytime schedule is very flexible! Anything past 6pm needs to be coordinated ahead of time. Reminder, I am seeking to transition to full time pet care provider, and every service booked gets me a step closer to realizing this dream!

Safety, trust & environment
When providing care in my home, I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every dog. Because of this, I cannot accept every request and require a meet & greet before confirming any boarding or daycare services. This allows us to make sure your dog is a good fit for my home and for my own dog as well. I do have the ability to keep dogs separated if needed, though the ideal situation is that everyone is able to coexist comfortably. If your dog will be staying in my home, please bring the following items so they have familiar comforts during their stay: • Crate and bed (crates are used while dogs are unsupervised and provide a safe, familiar space) • Harness or collar • Daily food portions • Preferred treats (if applicable) • One to three favorite toys • Any required medications with instructions For house-sitting in your home, I ask that owners provide a short written guide outlining your dog’s routine and any important information such as feeding instructions, medication schedules, security codes, and where essential supplies are located. When house-sitting, you can expect: • Three walks per day • Enrichment and engagement at home • Respectful care of your home and pets • Daily photo updates and a brief summary of how your pet is doing Please note that while your pet will receive attentive and reliable care, I do maintain a schedule outside of pet care as well. Constant 24/7 supervision (“constant care”) is not included in standard bookings unless arranged in advance. Pets requiring a higher level of supervision may require adjusted rates. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your pup.

Information Lucas D. would like to know about your pet
If there are, and what they are, special needs. If your dog exhibits any type of aggression towards people or other dogs, or has any other “triggers” I should be aware of (cats, scooters, garbage trucks, loud noises, other dogs, etc). Specific collars or leashes to be used. Specific commands your dog responds to. Any food allergies your dog has. IMPORTANT: I need to be made aware if your dog is aggressive towards visitors while you are away, for everyone's safety. We CAN work around this, but it is crucial to take necessary precautions starting with transparency. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
A typical day
Its incredibly important to me your pet feels loved when you can’t be there. If your dog likes long walks, playing fetch & tug-o-war, or just vibing on the couch together, I will make sure they aren't missing out on whatever it is they love to do!

Confident Handler of Powerful Dogs
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Lucas, and I’m here to help make life a little easier for you and your pets. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals over the years, so if you have an unusual companion or a small “animal farm” at home, don’t hesitate to reach out. While I care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, my main focus is working with large and powerful dog breeds. I have extensive experience with bully breeds (Pit Bulls, Bulldogs, American Bullies, Staffordshire Terriers) as well as other large dogs like Mastiffs, Great Danes, Boxers, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and other guardian breeds. My goal is to earn your dog’s trust while giving you peace of mind that your pup is in confident and capable hands while you’re away. Many large or strong dogs simply need a calm, consistent handler who understands how to manage their energy and keep walks structured and safe. Small dog owners don’t fret—I still have plenty of love for the little guys too. In fact, I enjoy the contrast of working with both small and large dogs throughout the day. While big dogs are a specialty of mine, I’m always happy to care for dogs of all sizes. If you think I might be a good fit for your pup, feel free to reach out! You can also send a request if you just have questions—I’m always happy to chat and see how I can help.

Reviews

Lucas was amazing! He provided daily updates and you could tell Baker was well taken care of and having such a fun time! He also left my house in amazing condition. So thankful for his help!!


Perfect last-minute walker - thanks Lucas!!

My pup had a great day with Lucas and Sumo! Lucas was responsive, very tuned in to the pups needs and behaviors, and so nice to work with. It would be our pleasure to book with him again.


Lucas was an amazing housesitter/dog sitter! This was our first foray into house-sitting, and Lucas has sold us on this for sure! Our dogs (who can be a handful) loved him, and we got daily updates. I can't recommend him enough!!
