Pet sitter and trainer for 20+ yrs

Pet care experience

I am 58 years old and have had pets since I was 5 - I grew up on a farm raising dairy cows, horses, dogs and cats. Most recently, I have dedicated my animal loving skills to the 4H Youth Dog Project, running the Florida State Fair Youth Dog Show for 20 years and training our youth and dogs through day camps, week long camps, and local weekly training. Over the years our house has kept many family friend's pets for weekends or weeks as needed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter training obedience and manners class for newly adopted pets and owners. Now that our kids are grown, I have decided to work part time as a pet sitter so that you can enjoy your vacation or trip without any worry as to the loving care your family pet(s) will receive.

Our Laborador is a repeat guest with Lucia. Our dog sure gets spoiled during his visits! Lucia made him his very own snack and took him on multiple walks. We were worried that he wouldn’t come home with us. Lucia sent photos to make us feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to plan another getaway and I’m sure our dog is hoping we do!

Lucia took such great care of Bella! She sent pictures and kept in touch with me each day. I would recommend her any time. Bella fell in love with her. Thank you so much Lucia!🐾❤️

When you pick up your dog and he doesn’t want to leave. 😂. Thanks Lucia for taking care of our pup so we could explore Florida!

Lucia was so caring and made extra effort to understand North and what he likes and doesn’t like. We came to pick him up and he didn’t want to leave!! We will definitely use Lucia again!

Let me know of any special needs or issues ahead of time. Please have all normal feeding and med instructions clearly written out to prevent any problems. Let me know of any special issues. Do you have a dog that rushes the door? Do you have a dog that reacts towards other dogs? etc.

I love to take dogs for leisurely walks so that they can smell and sniff and stimulate their minds and bodies. Some dogs like to play and some dogs like to snuggle - I am pretty quick to figure out how to make your buddy happy.
