Availability

I am currently a student at UW Madison, so I have classes from 10-2:30 on Monday and Wednesdays, but I am able to work before or after! Tuesdays classes are from 9:30 to 2:30 but I’m available anytime after 3. I have plenty of time in my week to care for and walk dogs (since I do so much walking everyday anyway!) My weekends are entirely free and I would love to help out you and your pets!

About Lucia R.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes

Dog skills

2 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have a commanding hand when it comes to larger animals and I am able to crate them if need be. Otherwise I provide an abundance of love and enjoy taking them on walks or throwing a ball just as much as they do. Since I live on campus, I have good sense of direction and know the land very well. I’d love to take your dogs on walks around the capitol (if they can handle being around the people) or on a more subdued path with less triggers.

Information Lucia R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is on any medications! I am able to administer them orally but nothing more complex than that. Also I am open to any dog breeds (I especially love pitties) but a heads up on how excitable your dog is would be appreciated so I can plan on where to take them for a walk!

A typical day

I love to play games in which dogs must use their sense of smell to find treats or unwrap a prize from a towel, etc…

Lucia was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tru! He's an older guy (11) and he got anxious and barky while we were gone. She was a great human pal to him, was creative and tolerant, communicated with us and sent pics, got him out on nice walks, and more. She's kind and very responsible; I wholeheartedly recommend her for your pets!
