Availability

I work mostly from home as an Event Planner @Brillaeventplanners & Notary Public @Brillanotaryservices and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort.

I provide: ✅ Frequent photo updates ✅ Playtime and TLC ✅ Oral medication experience ✅ A calm & quiet enviroment for shy or anxious pets ✅ Reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home as a Notary Public & Translator at Brilla Notary Services as well as an Event planner at my company Brilla Event Planners, so your pet will receive a lot of supervision and attention.

Luciana took care of our 11 year old Beagle overnight and took extra special care of him. He enjoyed some yummy treats and a morning walk and plenty of yard time. We will definitely rebook again! Thank you!

Luciana took very good care of our chihuahua. Luciana is very professional and friendly. She listened to our instructions very carefully and adhered to it. She took the dog out multiple times and fed him on time as requested. She gave very frequent updates and posted photos and videos of the dog having a happy time at her home. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her and be a repeat customer as well

Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!
