Pet care experience

Sweet, Loving and Nurturing

Most of my dog experience comes from caring for my own pup and the dogs of family and friends. Somewhere along the way, I became the unofficial dog sitter for my college friends who would impulsively adopt dogs between semesters. My childhood dog, Tyler, has since passed, but I still have plenty of love (and belly rubs) to give. I’ve cared for puppies, small dogs, big dogs, and even disabled dogs, and I always follow owner instructions to the letter. Above all, I just love animals and treat every dog like they’re my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting your home, communication is key. I always check in with owners about any specific needs; diet, exercise, medication, crate time, you name it. As cliché as it sounds, I treat every pet like my own while following your instructions exactly. And if you’re feeling a little nervous about me being in your home, don’t worry; odds are I’m even more nervous about being in someone else’s.

Luciana is such a lifesaver and agreed to come on short notice! She spends plenty of time with our puppy and sends us adorable pics

Boarding • Jul 06, 2016

Larry had a great stay with Lucy for 4th of July weekend. He always gets VERY sad when I leave, even if I leave him with immediate family. It was nice to have Tyler, Lucy's dog, around as they are same age and both enjoy playing with toys. Lucy was nice enough to lay with Larry the first night as he would not go upstairs and was extra sad the first night I was away. Good place to have a dog sat, gated community, seems there is usually someone around the house and if dogs are alone, it is only for a short time and they keep each other company. Would have Larry stay with Lucy again next time I am out of town!

I hired Luciana to dog sit my pup for a weekend while i was away on a family trip, she took really good care of my pup Lola. she played with her, made sure she was always okay and away from any harm, she even trained her how to sit ! I recommend Luciana as an excellent dog sitter.

Lucy dog sat my Maltese for two WHOLE weeks while I was in Mexico this past December. When I came to get my dog she even looked sad to leave her.

Schedule

I’m currently completing my M.A. online, and with a full time school schedule, it’s hard to find traditional work that fits around my classes. Pet care, however, works perfectly with my schedule.

16 to 40 lbs
Luciana can host up to 4 walks per day
I think it’s important to make sure pets feel comfortable; it’s key to their safety, my safety, and their overall well-being. Every animal has its own personality, and while sometimes we might not instantly click (though it hasn’t happened yet), I always take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel secure in my care.
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.
