Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Walker – Gowanus Area
Hi! I'm Lucas, and I’ve been passionate about pets my whole life. With nearly two years of professional dog walking experience in Gowanus and nearby neighborhoods, I provide safe, fun, and caring walks tailored to each dog’s routine. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies in training and senior dogs needing a slower pace and special attention. I can also administer oral medication if needed. All walks are tracked via GPS with detail so you always know your pet is in trustworthy hands.

Lucas also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My number one priority is ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for your pet, wherever the service is provided. My approach is based on strict protocols and complete transparency: In Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-In Visits / Walks) Residence Security: I meticulously follow all security and alarm instructions. The home is always left cleaner and more organized than I found it. Pet Focus: During visits, my focus is 100% on the pet's well-being. I minimize cell phone use to ensure constant supervision. In My Home (Boarding / Daycare) Controlled Environment: My home is completely pet-proofed and free of toxic materials or unsupervised access to windows and stairs. One-Client Rule: To guarantee individualized attention and prevent conflicts, I only board pets from one client at a time, unless they are from the same household. Routine: I strictly maintain their feeding, sleep, and potty routines, which minimizes separation anxiety. Trust and Emergency Protocol (Universal) Transparency: I provide detailed updates (photos and videos) after every service. Immediate Communication: If there is any change in behavior or health concern, the client is notified immediately.
Ratings and reviews
Lucas was very patient with Jenna (who is very anxious) and he took her for a good 30 min walk. She was all smiles when she got back!
Very communicative and flexible. Would definitely work with them again!
Lucas was very communicative, thorough, and took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Lucas is fantastic. He was punctual, very careful, and followed our detailed instructions perfectly. He did an excellent job handling our two dogs, including our large reactive one, and approached everything in a calm, kind, and confident way. Soft-spoken, thoughtful, and professional - we’d happily book him again.
Lucas is my neighbor and my first choice for dog sitting. His home is Lily’s second home and I always feel at ease when she is with him. He is patient and calm with her and she settles right away. He has also been very dependable. He once took Lily to the vet for me while I was traveling and he always sends regular updates so I know how she is doing. I trust him completely with her and would confidently recommend him. He is someone I can rely on to look after my dog as if she was his.
Lucas is truly a pet guru! He has served as a trusted and reliable pet-sitter for many neighbors in our building over the past two years. Lucas has a special way with dogs and cats- they really just sense his love for animals and love him right back. He provides a caring and safe environment for pets and ensures that their routines are followed as closely as possible, to enable a smooth transition of care when owners are away. You can count on photo and text updates regularly too, which are always appreciated. Lucas also has professional experience as a dog-walker and can reliably provide day to day support as needed to make sure pups get their outdoor time. In addition to being a great pet caretaker, Lucas is also just a kindhearted, thoughtful human being. He is precisely the type of person you can trust with your beloved pet, and he's become a reference in our neighborhood.

Schedule
Pet care is not a hobby, it is my fulltime, dedicated routine. Since I am available fulltime, I have the flexibility to accommodate last-minute requests, adjust to unique client schedules, and prioritize long-term house-sitting or boarding stays. I look forward to discussing how my availability perfectly aligns with your pet's needs. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet so I can personally introduce myself to you and your beloved pet.
