Does the dog have any injuries that I need to be mindful of? Are there any medical conditions that will require medication? Are there any special pet quirks I should know about?

I love walking, so long walks with active dogs is fine by me. As well as, playing ball or fetch, and/or cuddling on the couch.

Pets

Long walks are my favorite.

Pet care experience

I am a substitute teacher M-F, that means I can be available for caring for your pet during the afternoon and most evenings. I've been caring for pets who belong to family, friends, and neighbors for at least 12 years, providing house sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I will go on long walks with active dogs and/or sit and pet lonely dogs too. I also have experience giving medication as needed , adhering to special diets, and any other quirks that your pet may require to be happy and healthy. I live in the Long Beach area and I have my own car.

Lucia came through for Cali even when she hurt her foot, I appreciate her so much for caring for Cali and coming to walk & feed him. 🥰🐕

Lucia has been great with Cali, going above & beyond to ensure he's cared for and communicating with me about him and how the walk went. I am absolutely booking with her again & I recommend her for your own pet care needs!

The lockbox with my house key was jammed & wasn't budging but but Lucia went above & beyond to get it opened. She even brought back some tools to get it opened so she could get to my pup, Cali. This shows she truly cares about the furbabies she looks after & speaks to her work ethic. I highly recommend her, your furbabies will be in great hands!

Lucia is a kind and responsible housesitter. My pup had a great time with her and she left my home exactly as she found it. I look forward to next time!
