I’m certain CJ was well taken care of during his stay. Lucia was very nice, great communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. I would definitely use her again.

Lucia and her family took great care of our Kelce boy for the weekend we were away. He had a great time with their kids and dogs! She was great about giving updates and pictures daily and so accommodating when our flight was delayed getting home!

Lucia and her family were amazing! We just moved to the area and hadn’t found a pet sitter for our Largo yet. He had such a good time at their place making friends and playing…slept all the way home! She was great about sending us pictures and keeping us up to date with his shenanigans :)

We are repeat clients of Lucia’s, I’m always confident my dog is in good hands while we’re out of town.

We have used Lucia twice, both for 2 week periods. She always sent us photos and stayed in contact with us. Both times we were overseas, but we never worried about our Beagles Ralphie and Gus. They did well with her family and her own fur-babies. In fact, I think they wanted to stay. I know they acted like they didn’t want to come home. 😆, but that’s a good thing. We will be using her again on another upcoming vacation this year, if everything works out.

Hi! I’m a Veterinary Assistant with four years of experience working in the veterinary field, and caring for animals has become much more than a job—it’s something I genuinely love. I was a 5-star Rover sitter in North Carolina, and after recently moving to the San Marcos area, I’m excited to reopen my Rover profile and care for pets in my new community. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be welcomed into a loving family home with kids and a friendly resident dog. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind, so my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, receiving plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care. Thanks to my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering basic medications when needed, and caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and helping make your next vacation or trip worry-free!

I usually ask about the dog’s personality and behavior, is nice to know a little about the dog before I meet them, I also would like to know about any special needs, feeding times etc.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
