I have a hybrid work schedule and, depending on the day, can stay with your pets for a little while if they need some extra attention and you don’t have a problem with me working remote at your place. I can generally stop in once a day, but if you need something more involved (caring for pets while you’re on vacation, etc.), I’m happy to talk and see if we can work something out.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very familiar with what foods, plants, and household items are dangerous for cats and dogs, and I will always be looking out for their safety at home and on the go. I’ll follow your pet’s weird little rituals, talk to them like a friend, and give them whatever kind of attention they need.

Information Lucas R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any medical concerns or medications, if there are any places in your home or neighborhood that are off-limits, and if they tend to be an escape artist so I can keep them inside! :)

A typical day

We can play in the yard, go for walks, or just lounge around. I love going for a long walk and, if your dog has the desire and energy, we can usually get a full mile in 30 minutes!

Pet care experience

I have two cats who I love more than anything! My family has always had dogs since I was a kid, and I can’t wait to have one of my own someday :) Until then, I’d love to hang out with yours! I’ve been cat-sitting since I was in college, and I have experience caring for chinchillas, freshwater/saltwater fish, and aquatic invertebrates. Some pets need a little extra attention, and depending on the day, I might be able to stick around for a while if you don’t mind me working on my laptop at your kitchen table! Always happy to take a high-energy dog on a quick run or let them sniff the backyard to their heart’s content. I understand how important it is to feel like your loved ones are in good hands, and I’m passionate about showing your pets the care and kindness they deserve when you’re away!

Lucas is a great dog walker. He really bonded with my dog. He gave him that extra personal attention that my dog loved! Preston was always excited when he arrived to walk him.
